It was just another evening of gold cutlery and reigning music royalty until Cash stood and announced that the family tradition was “you have to sing for your supper.” Dylan, who hadn’t been heard from in a year after his motorcycle accident, rose up and crooned a new song, “Lay Lady Lay.” The table was in tears.” Read more:
