“Those things interest me a lot in songwriting - the human nature of how people think, and the muck that we wind up in.” PeopleThinkingHumansInterestHuman NatureWindSongwriting Author:Jakob Dylan
“I do look at songwriting as a lot of work. I don't overintellectualize music as a special medium that only some people deserve to do. I think it's something you do if you put the work in.” PeopleThinkingSpecialDeserveSongwriting Author:Jakob Dylan
“I think that these are different times, and different things are available to artists, and certain things have become passé. You've already seen the outcome of a lot of things that seemed to have a lot of potential. We've already heard that, and I can't tell you if it made a difference or not. But we already know that artists can do that, and they shouldn't feel threatened by doing it. They're probably not going to change the world. They're going to change a few people's perspectives and maybe make somebody's day at times, if they can.” ThinkingWorldDifferentArtistPerspectiveChanging The World Author:Jakob Dylan
“I'm talking about the '60s really. People go interview these guys and ask them, "Do you still think music can change the world?" I mean, go talk to Graham Nash about that. What's he going to tell you? Ask David Crosby. These guys are still out there. They're playing their hits at Staples Center and those are really valuable songs. I'm talking about a couple of the guys who got knee-deep into really believing music had a great service beyond radio. I believe it did. And I think a lot of those songs are great.” PeopleThinkingWorldBelieveMeanGuySongI BelieveCoupleValuableChanging The WorldGreat Service Author:Jakob Dylan
“I don't want to sing songs and write songs that need to have images behind them that are of a specific time. The times we live in today - I mean, there's a lot to work with. But I think that if I was my age in 1975 or 1985, I would have felt the same way because that's what I gravitate toward.” ThinkingWritingMeanAgeTodaySong Author:Jakob Dylan
