from the book What Just Happened (2021):
…think about your childhood bed and how much weird energy had been in that place. All your imagination. It reminds me of a Bob Dylan story. Apparently, when he’s touring he likes to go to the homes of other songwriters. In Canada he found the place where Neil Young grew up. Imagine you live in Neil Young’s childhood home and Bob Dylan stands on your front porch to see the bedroom. The owner said that Dylan just stood there and went, “That’s where Neil Young dreamed all his dreams.” I guess that’s what you’re doing as a writer—you’re trying to be the ghost of yourself. —Writer Scott McClanahan
