Nothing from Bob Dylan for me. I have thought the Boss as more relevant than him.

What do you think about Townes Van Zandt?

I don't get a "feeling" a lot anymore about how profound lyrics are. Vienna Teng from Danny's latest GR-R video might have some stuff that could qualify? Seems intelligent but able to formulate substance.

Whenever kindness fails"

And all the joy within you dies.
Don't you want somebody to love? <...> You better find somebody to love."
