Notable Quotes #20: Bob Dylan on Skyways, c. 1964

[Bob Dylan looks down on a parking lot in downtown Minneapolis.]

Minnesota native and Minneapolis musician, Bob Dylan, mentions skyways in his classic song  "Ballad in Plain D" from 1964's Another Side of Bob Dylan.
Ah, my friends from the prison, they ask unto me, 
"How good, how good does it feel to be free?" 
And I answer them most mysteriously, 
"Are birds free from the chains of the skyway?"
I think he captures their essence perfectly.
