I love Bob Dylan. Who doesn’t? He tapped into some kind of vein and it keeps on keeping on. There’s nobody like him. He’s unique, and just... way out cool Picture Quote #1

I can’t write story-songs, like I couldn’t write a Bob Dylan or Tom Waits song. I can only write whatever weird phrases come into my head, and hope that they’re good Picture Quote #1

I’m in a position I never imagined I’d be in as a musician. Bob Dylan built an audience through recording and live shows. The opportunities for an artist today are totally different Picture Quote #1

I like men who are very cool but who are also so brilliant that they are almost insane. Sean Penn, Gary Oldman, Bob Dylan, Tom Waits - men who would be flipping burgers if they hadn’t found an outlet for their brilliant mind-sets Picture Quote #1

Unlike many Sixties rockers,[Bob] Dylan sang about getting old, about broken dreams. His return to roots music pointed the way for many of his contemporaries to forsake trying to sound ‘current’ and to instead make music that would stand the test of time Picture Quote #1

Jobs was a strong-willed, elitist artist who didn’t want his creations mutated inauspiciously by unworthy programmers. To him it would be as if someone off the street added some brush strokes to a Picasso painting or changed the lyrics to a Dylan song Picture Quote #1

Now that my kids are out of the house, I’m finally able to get to the classics I never read: Emily Bronte, Dylan Thomas, Joseph Heller’s ‘Catch-22.’ It’s endless. They’re all in this gigantic pile next to my bed Picture Quote #1
