In honor of his new Nobel, this hard-core Dylanophile wants to share with you a song or two from each of his many incarnations. Because you deserve to know.

The Buddha’s dharma didn’t teach peace and relaxation; it taught awakening—often rude awakening.

The good leader carries water for his people.
