Yes! Laura's epiphany about Erin: You Make Things Happen--exactly right! I was teaching the No Direction Home film in class today, and one part really resonates with your conversation at the end about our supportive Dylan community. Reflecting back on the 1966 tour, Dylan says, "The guys who were with me on that tour, which later became The Band, we were all in it together. We were putting our heads in the lion's mouth. I had to admire them for sticking it out with me. Just for doing it, in my book they were gallant knights for even standing behind me." No standing in front or behind for us: we stand together. And no lion's mouth either--like Laura said, "Nothing but love and positivity and good vibes." But the camaraderie--of a group bound together by a shared passion for Dylan and a shared respect and affection for each other--that's what you both captured so well in your conversation, and what you both give so generously to make it happen. Thanks, Erin and Laura!
