Cool version of this song

But how long babe, can you search for what's not lost?

I'll Keep it with Mine - Nico

i stole away and cried

He Was a Friend of Mine - Dave Van Ronk

sometimes i feel a lot like queen jane

Bob Dylan - Queen Jane Approximately

keep on ramblin'

I think Bob Dylan said in the documentary No Direction Home something to the extent of this: "an artist has to be careful to never feel as though he's arrived at something.  You're in a constant state of becoming."  I always try not to linger for too long before moving on.  Sure, some visual explorations require time and depth before they are completely exhausted, but I also think you have to be careful not to get to the point where you are over-exhausting (if I may invent a word) something. To become an expert at one thing is awesome, but it can also often pigeon-holing (if I may invent another word) if that area of expertise seems to function as a safety net, preventing you from taking bolder risks creatively.  Sometimes it's good to push onward, and don't look back! I guess this kinda goes along with another thought I had.

what an awesome quote.

"A man is a success if he gets up in the morning and gets to bed at night, and in between he does what he wants." - Bob Dylan.

bob dylan- chronicles

i just finished reading this.  It's like Dylan was a sponge.  He was engaged in everything that he came in contact with.  It's amazing how insightful his observations are.  If anything, he teaches me that in order to make something truly genuine, you have to know about the world.  You have to know about people, literature, art, and music.  You have to subject yourself to everything!

Another thing that I have learned is that Dylan was never "original" in the purest sense of the word.  His dynamism and supposed originality comes from a long lineage of folk, rock and roll, and blues players.  Dylan is a thief, he takes this and that, and he free associates words and chords.  In the process of constant referencing, Dylan creates something that is truly original and unique.  He finds his voice in the music of others.
