"When I first heard Chuck Berry," said Dylan in 2015, "I didn't consider that he was black. I thought he was a white hillbilly. Little did I know he was a great poet too." 'Flying across the desert in a TWA/I saw a woman walking 'cross the sand/She been walkin' 30 miles en route to Bombay/To meet a brown-eyed handsome man.' I didn't think about poetry at that time - those words just flew by. Only later did I realize how hard it is to write those kind of lyrics."

-Rolling Stone, Issue 1285, April 20, 2017
