The song reflects my interpretation of some of these relationships and eventually pushes for the positives. It also…

I kind of just creepily starred at them to make sure I wasn’t dreaming before going to browse merchandise booths for…
Like I Do is perhaps your best-known single. What does it contribute to your story as an artist and a performer? I think “Like I Do” is a fun type of song.

Aside from (maybe) The Dead, no other artists’ fans have been more rabid about collecting every scrap of recorded music put out by that musician than Bob Dylan’s acolytes. Ever since his label started releasing their Bootleg Series in 1991 – mainly comprised of outtakes, demos and live recordings, many that had never been heard outside of Dylan’s circle – fans have been speculating about the existence of more songs…

Those familiar with the James “Whitey” Bulger story have been saying for decades how the tale of the ruthless Boston gangster and his look-the-other-way FBI handler is the stuff of Hollywood movies.
