Bob Dylan is an excellent songwriter whose intimate and introspective lyrics managed to capture the hearts and minds of his audience. His ability to relate to any demographic allows him to translate other people’s lyrics and discern their true meaning. He said one song he enjoys covering has a troubling psychological truth, as he believes it could belong to a “serial killer.”
Bob Dylan said ‘You Don’t Know Me’ sounds like it’s a song about a ‘serial killer’
In Bob Dylan’s book The Philosophy of Modern Song, the American folk singer discusses the works of many other artists.

According to pop culture reporters and the late manager’s biographer, several less-than-accurate details made it into the movie, including a false bit about Parker working at a carnival when he first met Elvis Presley.

Born in the Netherlands in 1909, Andreas Cornelius Van Kuijk worked for a Dutch circus before emigrating to the U.S. There, the teenager, who lacked a passport, told authorities his name was “Thomas Andrew Parker.”
