Description:


I discovered Bob Dylan at about the same time as I discovered the Columbia Record and Tape Club. The two went so well together. Those old albums were cheap to get, from the back of the catalogue.

I listened to only Bob Dylan during several different phases of my life. My passion for Bob only waned some time in my 20s.

I'm not sure I can even say for sure why this music meant so much to me. I was unhappy a lot during those high school years, and this music helped.

When you're 16, you spend a lot of time thinking about the meaning of things. The opacity of some of Dylan's lyrics was an ideal ground for that yearning to dig for meaning.
