I love Dylan. I only met him once, about three years ago, back at the Kettle of Fish on MacDougal Street. That was before I went to England. I think both of us were pretty drunk at the time, so he probably doesn’t remember it.
I think that we honor ourselves by honoring our past.
Music is the most important thing. I'm thinking of my future. There has to be something new, and I want to be part of it. I want to lead an orchestra with excellent musicians. I want to play music which draws pictures of the world and its space
Sometimes music comes across to me just when I am sitting around doing nothing, and then the music makes me think of a few words I might have written.
I was thinking too fast. It seems like a person has the tendency to get bored, because he always wants to try to do all these accomplishments.
I'm trying to get more into other things, where reality is nothing but each individual's way of thinking.
I think it would count more, if we did less personal appearances.
Butterflies and zebras And moonbeams and fairy tales That's all she ever thinks about Riding with the wind.
It's time for a new National Anthem. America is divided into two definite divisions. The easy thing to cop out with is sayin' black and white. You can see a black person. But now to get down to the nitty-gritty, it's getting' to be old and young - not the age, but the way of thinking. Old and new, actually... because there's so many even older people that took half their lives to reach a certain point that little kids understand now.
I feel guilty when people say I'm the greatest on the scene. What's good or bad doesn't matter to me; what does matter is feeling and not feeling. If only people would take more of a true view and think in terms of feelings. Your name doesn't mean a damn, it's your talents and feelings that matter. You've got to know much more than just the technicalities of notes; you've got to know what goes between the notes.
One time I said: maybe I should burn a guitar tonight. You know smash a guitar or something like that. And they said: yeah, yeah! I said: you really think I should? They said: yeah, that'd be cool. I said: well, ok.
Looks like my baby dont live here no more...thats alright, ive still got my guitar...............................(more lyrics)..................i might as well go back over yonder, way back across the hills, if my baby dont love me no more....i know her...sister will
Yes, it was raggedy. Yes, it had its problems. Yes, he did some things that he probably felt afterwards it wasn't a great idea to experiment onstage in front of a half-million people,
We started doing some stuff, just hooking up doing gigs. He got a little bit too far out from me. Stuff he was doing, I didn't want to do.
