It was back in the early nineties.
I was newly married.
I had a little baby boy, and I was recording a lot up in my attic on a four-track cassette.
So I was doing a lot of acoustic guitar, and I went through my Dylan period then.
And that's all about how great he is.
You can't avoid him.
You can't not acknowledge him.
You can be something that's totally not like him or sort of like him, but he's there.
It's like we're in the middle of the road, this giant.
And so, I wrote some things that were my Dylan-ish songs, and that's one of them.
