It's good stuff. It's life experiences. It's a wealth of info that they would not teach you of in college...

Provides a fascinating portrait of a man attempting to deal cleverly with the exigencies of fame, while retaining his soul. Particularly interesting for the early interviews, as we see Dylan developing the playful, Dadaesque indirection that he would use with interviewers, and for the interviews with those that accompanied him in his early years--folksters with whom he would drop the guise, and speak clearly and directly about his craft. Great reading.

"You know," Bob Dylan said, "these are yuppie words, happiness and unhappiness. It's not happiness or unhappiness, it's either blessed or unblessed. As the Bible says, 'Blessed is the man who walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly.'" [Rolling Stone interview, 1991) "As I was walking around today I noticed many tall steeples and big churches and stained glass windows. Let me tell you once again: God's not necessarily found in there. You can't get converted in no steeple or stained glass window. Well, Jesus is mighty to save, if He's in your heart, He'll convert you." Bob Dylan, Buffalo New York concert, 1983
