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.

More From Bob Dylan

People Have Different Emotional Levels. Especially When You're Young.

Look, When I Started Out, Mainstream Culture Was Sinatra, Perry Como, Andy Williams, Sound Of Music. There Was No Fitting Into It Then And Of Course, There's No Fitting Into It Now.

Mainstream Culture

People Have Different Emotional Levels. Especially When You're Young. Back Then I Guess Most Of My Influences Could Be Thought Of As Eccentric. Mass Media Had No Overwhelming Reach So I Was Drawn To The Traveling Performers Passing Through.

We're Constantly Being Bombarded By Insulting And Humiliating Music, Which People Are Making For You The Way They Make Those Wonder Bread Products. Just As Food Can Be Bad For Your System, Music Can Be Bad For Your Spiritual And Emotional Feelings. It Might Taste Good Or Clever, But In The Long Run, It's Not Going To Do Anything For You.

People Seldom Do What They Believe In. They Do What Is Convenient, Then Repent.
