From Rolling Stone’s fascinating current cover interview with Bob Dylan:
RS: Clearly the language of the Bible still provides imagery in your songs
Dylan: Of course, what else could there be? I believe in the Book of Revelations. I believe in disclosure, you know? There’s truth in all books. In some kind of way. Confucius, Sun Tzu, Marcus Aurelius, the Koran, the Torah, the New Testament, the Buddhist sutras, the Bhagavad-Gita, the Egyptian Book of the Dead, and many thousands more. You can’t go through life without reading some kind of book.Welcome to the Bob Dylan Book Club.
"...therefore, be bold."
