Jakob Dylan quotes

The trouble, doll
Is not moving mountains, but
Digging the ground that you're on. (Jakob Dylan)

To us, there was Bob Dylan, and there was dad. As for what he meant to other people, that was never glorified in our house. There were no accolades there, no gold records.

I don't feel like I chose to do music as much as I made a decision to not stop doing music.
