“Bob Dylan and John Lennon and Bruce Springsteen, these are soul guys. Bruce Springsteen might not sing like Otis Redding, but he sings with white soul. He's singing and he's writing songs from the bottom of his gut.” WritingSoulMightGuySongWhiteSingingBottomGutsBobDylanWriting SongsLennonSpringsteen Author:Robin Thicke
“Along with a lot of other things, becoming a Bob Dylan fan made me a writer. I was never interested in figuring out what the songs meant. I was interested in figuring out my response to them, and other people's responses. I wanted to get closer to the music than I could by listening to it - I wanted to get inside of it, behind it, and writing about it through it, inside of it, behind it, was my way of doing that.” PeopleWayWritingMadeWantedSongBehindsFansListeningBecomingResponseMy WayBobDylan Book:Bob Dylan: Writings 1968-2010 Source: Bob Dylan: Writings 1968-2010
