“Do you want to sell sugar water for the rest of your life or do you want to come with me and change the world?” That’s a Steve Jobs quote.  The basic premise: think big or go home.  Considering the sad news today about Mr Jobs passing, this quote really summed up his life.  It’s so direct and simple.  It’s not a question but a call to arms: What kind of life do I want to live?  Will I challenge the status quo or will I go with my gut and challenge the world, in my own unique way?  Very few people summon the courage to follow their instincts, but the few that do usually knock it out of the park.  If anything, Jobs taught us your gut instincts are never wrong. The rest is work ethic and magic. Thank you, Mr Jobs.  Your creativity and vision will be missed, but your work and words will inspire generations to come.

A Beautiful song by one of America’s most gifted songwriters, Ryan Adams.  It appears this song is about examining the wreckage of a relationship and a turbulent life.  

If you’ve been in love and you’re a reflective person, then you know what this song feels like. 

Was this filmed on VHS or a setting on some fancy schmancy digital camera? I would like to know.

One of my bibles.  This is a must read for anyone who loves music.  Dylan is like Zeus.  No one can top him.  The book has soaring insights into Dylan’s life and appreciation of music, life, human relationships and romance, and the undying pursuit of one’s vision.  Powerful stuff.
