1991 Memory
The first time Bob Dylan left an impression on me was during his acceptance speech for the lifetime acheivement award during the Grammy awards. Guess fourteen year olds watch that kinda stuff. Well, I didn't quite know what happened. Only understood a few words in his mumbling, father and mother, & defiled or something like that.
Here's what was really said:
"Well," he said, "my daddy, he didn't leave me much, you know he was a very simple man,
but what he did tell me was this, he did say, son, he said"
- there was a long pause, nervous laughter from the crowd -
"he say, you know it's possible to become so defiled in this world
that your own father and mother will abandon you and if that happens,
God will always believe in your ability to mend your ways."
alright, back to packing for 10days

Was he still a born-again Christian then? And he really needs to work on his grammar ("He say") - oh, wait, I forgot, that is just the image he is trying to portray.
