Let Me Rest on a Peaceful Mountain

Wikipedia highlights another Bob Dylan quote from 1997:  “Here’s the thing with me and the religious thing.  This is the flat-out truth:  I find the religiosity and philosophy in the music.  I don’t find it anywhere else.  Songs like ‘Let Me Rest on a Peaceful Mountain’ or ‘I Saw the Light’ — that’s my religion.  I don’t adhere to rabbis, preachers, evangelists, all of that.  I’ve learned more from the songs than I’ve learned from any of this kind of entity.  The songs are my lexicon.  I believe the songs.”
