that lick was in Like a Rolling Stone

Bob writes a song and says, ‘I want it done this way’ and ‘Let’s try a little bit of it like this.’ We might try it in three, four, five different keys. One time he looked at me when I hit a lick. After we [cut] it, he said, “We gotta do it over– that lick was in Like A Rolling Stone.’ I said, ‘Yeah, that’s where I got it from.’

it's such a pure expression or song from the soul

“Oh gosh, where do I start with the music? I mean, on so many levels, it has affected my life, and still continues to. 

I guess one example is that, to me, music, particularly the voice singing and songwriters, poets, like Dylan, or whoever, to me, it’s such a pure expression or song from the soul. It deeply connects to mine. It has always been a key that kind of unlocked, or enabled me to express anger, or pain of any sort. It’s always been a kind of wonderful excuse or a door for me, in terms of being able to express myself creative and personally.”
