Watching old footage of Bob Dylan's press conferences, I'm reminded of this guy I know. He too is full of evasions and obfuscations and surreal wit whenever you talk to him. Is this guy hiding something precious from a callow world? Was Bob Dylan's mind just a "cave of winds"?

Of course he is hiding something precious. Poets carefully conceal the answers because they must divert attention to posing the questions.
Ahh, but maybe the precious thing they have is only the ability to articulate what EVERYBODY has. Art is different from philosophy after all. I'm a poet and I don't think I've ever had a profound thought in my life. Of course, I'm not Bob Dylan...
