“I was very aware of the Rolling Stones, the Beatles and the Doors, but for me the depth of Bob Dylan’s lyrics surpassed everyone else’s by miles. However, I was never an obsessive fan of anyone, but simply quietly admired him from afar. I would never have gone out of my way to seek him out. I lived in an inner world of extreme opposites. I was wild but extremely withdrawn, verbally silent but confident in my musical voice, a lone wolf, social only enough to play music with others. But aloof and not very social otherwise, traits I believe Bob Dylan understood and appreciated. In fact, I feel that if I was a confident gabby social butterfly we would never have clicked in so many ways as we obviously did.”
