Just like Harry
Square Pig was reading Bob Dylan’s “Chronicles Vol 1″ because she’s been trying to improve her musical sense of things and Taize singing wasn’t helping much. (sorry Nic)
Anyway, this quote appealed to her (because it has absolutely nothing to do with music)
“Harry was that rare type of character that radiates greatness, and you hope that some of it rubs off on you. The man commands respect. You know he never took the easy path, though he could have.” (pg 69)
Square Pig takes a moment to think about what NOT taking the easy path could mean…mmmh maybe eating 2 doughnuts , instead of 6!!!

Very impressed you are reading His Bobness’ Chronicles!
You did well with the Taize, very well.
I look forward to further reflections on the easy path, beyond donuts. (Sorry Homer, but there IS more to life)
BTW I have signed you up on CapeConversation.
Hey Nic, although my knowledge of all Bob’s music is fairly limited (I’m getting there though) – the guy sure knows how to turn a phrase. I was astounded by his descriptions of New Orleans. He captured the place’s essence in a few sentences (I’ve been there)and he has an artists way of reading people that I think you would enjoy. Then of course there’s his expansive knowledge of music and amazing accounts of New York just as his career was breaking. It’s a gem!
