Bob Dylan

I liked Bob Dylan's answer to the last question in the partial interview in the textbook "Pop, Rock, and Soul Reader." He was saying how music is always apart of life unlike paintings or sculptures. Art should be where people can see it, otherwise it will not get seen most times. The greatest paintings should be in shops and restaurants and bathrooms. He said that art is dead when it goes into a museum because not as many people go to museums. Music is played everywhere; On the radio, in the car, in stores, almost everywhere. His answers to the other questions doesn't give away much meaning to any of his songs. He wrote them in his own perspective, but want other people to have his songs mean to them what they want them to mean. He doesn't want to tell people what they mean because interpreting music should be a liberty. He changes names of people in the songs for a reason. It's a puzzle. He is a brilliant artist.
