Aretha with no goals, eternally single & one step soft of heaven/ let it be understood that she owns this melody along with her emotional diplomats & her earth & her musical secrets

If I wasn't Bob Dylan, I'd probably think that Bob Dylan has a lot of answers myself.

Some formulas are too complex and I don't want anything to do with them.

I'm the oldest son of a crazy man, I'm in a cowboy band.

My songs are personal music, they're not communal. I wouldn't want people singing along with me. It would sound funny. I'm not playing campfire meetings. I don't remember anyone singing along with Elvis, Carl Perkins or Little Richard.

I wish that for just one time you could stand inside my shoes. You'd know what a drag it is to see you.
