Bob Dylan, Q&A with Bill Flanagan (22 March 2017)
“
She was something else, almost too much to take. Her voice was like that of a siren from off some Greek island. Just the sound of it could put you into a spell. She was an enchantress. You'd have to get yourself strapped to the mast like Odysseus and plug up your ears so you wouldn't hear her. She'd make you forget who you were.
— Bob Dylan on Joan Baez
