Chronicles Volume One> At The Bookstore with Larry B

I recently started reading Bob Dylan's autobiography, "Chronicles- Volume One." Dylan has been my favorite musician for a while now and I've read a several books about him including, "No Direction Home" and "Positively Fourth Street." I even tried to read Tarantula, a rambling poetic mess Dylan wrote in 1966. Chronicles so far has been the best of them. His writing is a pleasure to read, like you'd expect. So far it has been about his early days in NYC before he was signed by Columbia in late 1961.

Here's a bit he wrote about why he started to write songs,

Sometimes you just want to do things your way, want to see for yourself what lies behind the misty curtain. It's not like you see songs approaching and invite them in. It's not that easy... You have to know and understand something and then go past the vernacular..."
