Blind Boy Grunt on Bob Dylan

Bob Dylan's recent release of Together Through Life has brought some attention from the media. I've found two things especially interesting. First is a quick rundown of the pseudonyms that Dylan has used over the years. Rolling Stone went through 30 years of interviews to pull Bob's opinions on the same subjects from different stages in his career. I dug this quote on performing live:

"Ask Muhammad All why he fights one more fight. Go ask Marlon Brando why he makes one more movie. Ask Mick Jagger why he goes on the road. See what kind of answers you come up with. Is it so surprising I'm on the road? What else would I be doing in this life — meditating on the mountain? Whatever someone finds fulfilling, whatever his or her purpose is — that's all it is."
[From Issue 278 - November 16, 1978]
