Can you believe I really don’t listen to the words of a song?
Talk about being one dimensional!
What’s more, I don’t read books. I listen to them.
As a consequence of this unusual quirky combination, I recently heard Dylan’s lyrics of The Times They Are-A Changin’ for maybe the very first time.
Here’s how it happened. I’m listening to a very recent book about Dylan, The Double Life of Bob Dylan by Clinton Heylin (pictured), and in it Heylin describes Dylan’s process of writing The Times They Are A-Changin’ and as Heylin spoke the lyrics and described the writing process, presto, I heard the words!
What’s more, in an ensuing volcanic rush of creativity, I connected Zim’s amazing prophetic spoken words to my “Up is Down and Down is Up” mantra and, Super Presto, I wrote last week’s Up is Down and Down is Up blog!
What unusual traits do you benefit from?
