I am sitting here watching "No Direction Home." Listen, watching, thinking about Bob Dylan takes me some other place, it is transcendent in the moment. Unable to explain why but passion and love are a large part of it, and a sense of the normal being extraordinary.

Here is one beautiful/profound quote, that I needed to get down somewhere so I dropped it here, mostly for myself but you also get to enjoy it.

"By writing good songs and writing about contemporary ideas in traditional forms which I understood, and it made it like it was written today but it sounded like it could have been written two hundred years ago also, it sounded current and old at the same time. So it wasn't just like singing a song like Pete Segar would sing it because it was important to sing it. He sang so it affected us."

The beauty and richness on which we stand is the tradition that we hold must be articulated in a contemporary way.
