“Dylan is a fantastic human being who has done so many things in life, and never asked for credit. Woody Guthrie was my patient at Greystone Park. Young Dylan did come to see him. Woody was very ill. Dylan was fascinated by Woodrow Wilson Guthrie. Guthrie lived in Seagate, a gated Jewish Community in Coney Island, Brooklyn New York. He used to play on the Boardwalk. I used to watch him as a kid, eating my hot dog from Nathan's. To see him years later at the Hospital, read his medical file, and to know that he had a terminal illness was a heartbreaker. I do not remember Pete Seeger, Cisco, or any of his friends being there, but Dylan was.”
