Crawling from the Wreckage: Bob Dylan and his Motorpsycho Nitemare

“I was mighty, mighty tired. I had come a long, long way”

“I had been in a motorcycle accident and I’d been hurt, but I recovered. Truth was that I wanted to get out of the rat race.” ~ Chronicles, Volume One

Part 1 — In the Rat Race

The word “truth” appears some twenty-three times in Chronicles, that memoir full of Dylanesque half-truths. The motorcycle accident on July 29, 1966 is one of the few times Bob Dylan uses it when speaking about himself.
