I think you just lack real interest in the subject matter, Weelittledrummer, that's my guess. You were looking to be entertained in the usual manner of biographies. That's not what Chronicles was about. It was about sheer unbridled love for the music and where that took him. Face it, man, most of us live pretty boring lives when it comes to the bare facts of our daily activities, and when we meet famous people, they usually say quite ordinary stuff...just like we do. :-)

What stands out about Dylan is how much in love with the music he was. He was like someone in search of the Holy Grail. I love reading about it. He was hungry, man, and willing to do anything it took to live that dream to the full realization of his inner thoughtdreams. And he did it.

Read "The Ragman's Son" instead, by Kirk Douglas. Lots of sex, lots of great anecdotes, lots of dramatic and amusing stuff. You'll love it. It's a very, very entertaining book. (I'm not being sarcastic when I say that. I thought it was just great.)
