Visitin' Dylan

Bob Dylan is a bad motherfucker. Just finished his autobiography Chronicles Vol. I , it was a interesting autobio because it was like he chose an assortment of random events in his life to write about and the chronology is all mixed up. But it was great cus it was just like as if Dylan was talking to me, starting a story, going off on a tangent, then starting another story then somehow his mental clockworks align and the stories have a common theme that just clicks together. Lots of wisdom n this book. To me, Dylan is a wise soothsayer from a begotten era, a spectator of the 60's hippie freakfest. He wasn't really a willing participant, more of a loner who got more attention than he wanted, for everyone recognized him as a soothsayer, they looked to him for guidance. But Dylan just wanted to live. The reason I'm always going to remember this book however, is because when I shit, I like to S(h)IT. I read Chronicles entirely on the throne, which is why, for me, "droppin the kids off at the pool" will forever be known as "visiting Bob Dylan".
