Chris O'Connor Author

Chris O'Connor's Bob Dylan journey began when he was gifted Dylan's album 'Street Legal' by his newly ex-girlfriend on his 18th birthday. He found his inner voice in Dylan's songs, and over the following years he worked his way through the Dylan catalogue and read all the articles and books about the artist that he could get his hands on. O'Connor writes, 'His songs have moved me and confused me, confounded and astounded me, and I find a deeper meaning in them the more I listen.' Bob Dylan once said, 'They asked me to write something about Woody, sort of like, "What does Woody Guthrie mean to you?" in twenty-five words. And I couldn't do it. And I wrote out five pages.' 'What does Bob Dylan mean to me?' O'Connor writes. 'Well, I've written a whole book.'
