So Bob Dylan sang a song about you?
My friend John Mayer told me. He called me on the phone and was like ‘You’re never gonna believe this.’ And I’m like ‘What?’ and he’s like ‘Bob Dylan wrote about you in a song!’ and I’m like ‘What? C’mon Bob Dylan?’ and he’s like ‘I’m telling you Bob Dylan!’ John’s really funny and jokes a lot and was probably playing around. He was not playing around! He was so excited about it. I didn’t believe him until a couple people told me and said they wanted to get some quotes for me. So I was like ‘Is this serious?’ and then I was like ‘Well, let me hear this song, what did he say?’ And it was cool. To go down in Bob Dylan’s song book — it’s kind of hot.
