Creativity has much to do with experience, observation and imagination, and if any one of those key elements is missing, it doesn’t work.

— Bob Dylan

How does it feel?

This title is a very thinly veiled reference to Dylan’s song, “Rainy Day Woman #12 & #35, aka the “Everybody must get stoned” song.  I don’t know what he’s talking about.  Stoning seems so Biblical in this day and age, but maybe it was a thing in the mining town of Hibbings, Minnesota where he grew up.
