Dylan's Speech
Dylan's Speech (Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award) (from www.fmi-fcia.uchicago.edu/~jrr/index.html, jrr@fciav3.bsd.uchicago.edu)

"You know my daddy didn't leave me too much... He was a very simple man. But he did tell me one thing, he said, 'Son...'"

(Long pause while he stared at the plaque and the audience tittered nervously)

"...He said so many things you know..."

(Pause)

"...but he did say, 'you know it's possible to become so defiled in this world that even your own mother and father will abandon you. But if that happens, God will always believe in your own ability to mend your own ways.' Thank you."
