"Folk music was a reality of a more brilliant dimension. It exceeded all human understanding, and if it called out to you, you could disappear and be sucked into it. I felt right at home in this mythical realm made up not with individuals so much as archetypes, vivdly drawn archetypes of humanity, metaphysical in shape, each rugged soul filled with natural knowing and inner wisdom."

-Bob Dylan
