Love the story. I've never met Dylan but I know people that have and the stories they tell about him are well...like that...Bob I guess tends to speak about things in his own sort of shorthand and a lot of the time I guess it is hard to tell what he means until you have spent enough time with him that you pick-up the context of his Dylanese. Bob Dylan asking how you wrote a song I think would make anybody sort of blink and wonder what the hell he was talking about...but hilariously I bet Bob Dylan has been asked that question a few billion times in his life. Ha, maybe he was looking to crib a good answer from David!

Dylan: Hey, how did you write that song? How'd you do it?

David: Well, I always start by having a good breakfast.

Dylan: It is the most important meal of the day.

David: Yup, can't really get anywhere without it.

Dylan: I like to save the boxes to keep my song ideas in them.

David: Boxes?

Dylan: Raisin Bran, Cheerios, just reach-a-right in to the box and pull out an idea. Stitch 'em together like a quilt.

David: Cereal boxes...

Dylan: I ain't wrote a song in twenty years. All comes out of the box.

David: Sweetheart Like You? That's a wonderful song.

Dylan: The box.

David: I see.

Dylan: It's why I never eat eggs for breakfast...I need the boxes.

Three weeks later in Belgium a reporter asks Dylan how he wrote the song Cold Irons Bound...

Dylan: It all starts with a good breakfast. Raisin Bran, Cheerios...it all comes out of the box.

The confused Belgian reporter writes in the article for his paper that Dylan claims the key to his songwriting is fiber in his diet.

As an aside I did wonder what the heck that was being shot with because it had the effect of making it look like old film stock...which was very cool.
