Bob Dylan about Joni Mitchell.

I think that’s an important thing for a man, to “feel safe when his woman drives”. Sorry, gang, for the abundance of Leonard Cohen/Bob Dylan/Joni Mitchell lately. In this big crossing world of ours, without parents, religion, or heroes, we all need to find replacements for those to guide us.
