If you don't get this performance, you're operating on a level I don't really understand. It happened a year ago...
"He came in and played 'The Times They Are A-Changin'. A beautiful rendition. The guy is so steeped in this stuff that he can just come up with some new arrangement, and the song sounds completely different. Finishes the song, steps off the stage – I'm sitting right in the front row – comes up, shakes my hand, sort of tips his head, gives me just a little grin and then leaves. And that was it – then he left. That was our only interaction with him."

And that's why we need Bob Dylan. To not kiss another politician's ass.
