Quote

(BOB) DYLAN, CHRONICLES, VOLUME ONE — I had no song in my repertoire for commercial radio... . Songs about debauched bootleggers,... Cadillacs that only got five miles to the gallon, floods,... fires, darkness and cadavers at the bottom of rivers weren't for radiophiles.

Full quote

I had no song in my repertoire for commercial radio anyway. Songs about debauched bootleggers, mothers that drowned their own children, Cadillacs that only got five miles to the gallon, floods, union hall fires, darkness and cadavers at the bottom of rivers weren't for radiophiles.
