"Music has given me a purpose. As a kid, there was rock. later on, there was folk-blues music. it's not something that I just listen to as a passive person. It has always been in my blood and it has never failed me. Because of that, I'm disconnected from a lot of the pressures of life. It disconnects you from what people think about you...It's natural for me." Bob Dylan
