Rumi, Leon Russell, Bob Dylan, and Silence

Three poets and two versions of Dylan’s song, Love Minus Zero.

“When I am silent, I fall into the place where everything is music.” Rumi

“My love, she speaks like silence.” Bob Dylan

“Silence is my hobby.” Leon Russell

Love Minus Zero by Leon Russell, Master of Space and Time,

At The Concert For Bangladesh, Bob Dylan with Leon on guitar along with George Harrison.

Does the camera love Leon, or what?

I wonder what he was thinking as he looks at Dylan. Just a boy from dusty Oklahoma (IYKYK) on the world’s stage with the pinnacle of musicians, which is exactly where he belongs. No fireworks, no elaborate stage set-ups, just incredible makers of music.

Silence is my hobby, too.
