      Bill Nighy (pronouced Naheye). He's a British actor from such films as Love Actually, Girl In The Cafe, Pirate Radio, etc. I'm not sure there's a quote per. say on the Dylan thought but I found this on the play Bill mentioned. As Flanagan said, seems as though Nighy had enough pull to put song Dylan songs in the play itself!

      "In November 2006 Bill Nighy returned to stage and made his debut on Broadway in David Hare’s The Vertical Hour together with Andrew Scott and Julianne Moore. The play can be seen in The Music Box theatre in New York until the end of March 2007."

      In the interview, Bill said that (so-and-so??) makes a point to listen to Bob Dylan at least once everyday.

      Does anyone know who he was quoting and the exact quote???

      Now I've heard there was a secret chord;

      That David played, and it pleased the Lord;

      But you don't really care for music, do you?

      It goes like this;

      The fourth, the fifth;

      The minor fall, the major lift;

      The baffled king composing Hallelujah; -- Leonard Cohen; where's aaron sorkin when you need him.

      The author Janis asked about is Michael Chabon.

      Enjoyed the Bill Flanagan interview. When Rose asked him who he enjoys reading, he said Robert Stone, Philip Roth and Michael someone. Anyone know who that third author is?

      Great interview with Mr. Flanagan. Check out The Avett Brothers for an answer to the question about a modern day equivalent to Bob Dylan. They have been nominated, alongside Mr. Dylan and Lucinda Williams for an Americana Music Award. True originals.
