Thread Name: Is/Was Dylan happy? Was it worth it?
Subject: RE: Is/Was Dylan happy? Was it worth it?
Yeah, Tweed, you're right about that. It's the price of fame, though. You become "public property", whether you want it or not. When he was young he wanted to be "bigger than Elvis". As far as I'm concerned he did become bigger than Elvis, but if he'd known what it would be like he might not have done it.

I wanted to be famous when I was young too. I have since decided that relative obscurity and a few good friends beats the hell out of fame!

Big Tim - Good comments. I used to think maybe I could change the world too. I finally came around to seeing that the only really workable plan of action was to change myself.
