Passion (Bill McGlaughlin)

Last week, I mentioned that I would like to explore two themes–creativity and passion. When I think of passion, I think of Bill McGlaughlin. Over the past month or so, my wife and I have had a radio on in our room. I couldn’t tell you what station it is, but I know it hasContinue reading “Passion (Bill McGlaughlin)”

Creativity (Bob Dylan)

Back in August of last year, I wrote a post on Bob Dylan. I talked about his lyrical genius and his ability to pack so much thought into a single song. Today, I want to talk about Dylan more broadly.

Bob Dylan

Lately I’ve been listening to Bob Dylan, my lyrical hero and great uncle. My parents named me after Ol’ Uncle Dylan actually. Not actually. But anyways…I’ve been blown away listening to Bob Dylan. I wonder, How can a man pack so much thought into a single song? In the song “Hurricane,” for example, Dylan talks about a realContinue reading “Bob Dylan”
