Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen, Bob Dylan, Johnny Cash, Bob Dylan, Simon and Garfunkle, Bob Dylan... I know what you're thinking, but Dylan's inspired me five times more than anyone else!
Never assume the other fellow has intelligence equal to yours. He may have more.
Young, Cash, Dylan, Springsteen
