I listened to Bob Dylan a lot in 2025. Sometimes in darkness as the sun came up. He made more sense than he ever had before. I was always interested in him. Kidded myself I looked like him when I was 18. Bought and listened to some of his key records in the next few years. I wasn't sure of him then. Wondered why his songs had so many verses and generally no chorus. Put the back in the box. Got out Echo & The Bunnymen who were mire of my mind then.
Now I'm 60, I think the penny has dropped. Watching A Complete Unknown was key. What Dylan does is absolutely central to the human spirit and the principles of dissent and freedom. He questions his own side mire than the government. He will not be put in a box. Not by his own people. Get on your own motorbike. Life is best on the open road.
