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 was lingering out on the pavement. There was a missing person inside of myself and I needed to find him . . . I felt done for, an empty burned-out wreck . . . Wherever I am, I’m a 60s troubadour, a folk-rock relic, a wordsmith from bygone days, a fictitious head of state from a place nobody knows Picture Quote #1

What good are fans? You can’t eat applause for breakfast. You can’t sleep with it Picture Quote #1
