I would ask him what he would like to talk about, and just let him take it from there...anywhere he wanted to.

I agree that his songs about the inner person...such as "It's Allright, Ma", "Gates of Eden", and "Jokerman" for three examples...are the best and most extraordinary pieces of writing in the history of modern verse. As for the blues, "Blind Willie McTell" is the greatest blues recording ever made, in my opinion. (And he didn't put it on the album "Infidels"!)
