That's true. I don't really enjoy telling Dylan stories over the air, but I would say that in what I wrote about Bob, which is... I think has surprised people because it's very candid.

And then it's very unflattering and the dismal parts. and that was very difficult to figure out how to write that because he and the other people I've dealt with in the book are important to me, were important to me, and so I think you have to write some of the good and the bad.
