His explanation about knowing his destiny, but keeping it to himself - “It’s a fragile thing, and if you put it out there, people will kill it.” Putting into words what so many have felt.
Dylan appears to be a secretive soul. Just as the lyrics to his songs contain subliminal messages So does he as he nonchalantly answers otherwise revealing questions L.Russell Brown
@adam waldron I know,.. ..we just lost a great friend, business partner named gabe. Best Sawyer ever! ......well until he died.....now he's just dead. SMH.
Ed Bradley was very ill at the time of this interview, but he soldiered on. He died 2 years later. This interview of Dylan showcased what a tremendous journalist and professional he was. Rest in peace...
Sad he died at such a young age. Agree wholeheartedly, he was tremendous. Sadly journalists of this quality are either no longer given a platform or are drown out by so many voices brought on by the internet. The internet gives a voice to people that do not religiously follow journalist ethics like Ed Bradley and most of the great ones. As a result the truth is more difficult to ascertain.

I knew his mother; she was a friend of mine. She was a great and she had hundreds and hundreds of friends many of whom were members of the Twin Cities Jewish community. I worked at a country club that she was a member of and it took me a lot of courage to broach the topic of Dylan with her. I waited until I had gotten to know her fairly well responded to one of her frequent mentions of "Bobby" to nervously say "Bobby, that's Bob" she cut me off and said "that's right, Bob Dylan". She was just a typical Jewish mother who was insanely proud of her children and grandchildren. The last time I saw her was in Lunds grocery store when she spotted me and after we exchanged pleasantries she asked me if I was still working at the University of St Thomas because she had a grandson who was starting there in the fall and wanted me to look him up. This kid was a serious musician:. His primary instrument was either drums or guitar but was good enough to teach both. One day I was in one of the music spaces and I heard someone playing an absolutely amazing classical piece on the piano. It was complicated and was being played sans mistakes. When I got close enough to see who was playing this beautiful piece the player looked up and it was him. I'm no musician but to be that good at three very different instruments at age 20 strikes me as being a rare trait.
And i knew he s father. Always so humble and sweet. One time he took me out and layed me down on a bed of roses, and then had he s way with me. Oh Harry, you always was a backdoorman. The Good old days. Rip.
So insightful and Thank You for sharing a beautiful picture of Bob Dylan was lucky to see him perform and Willie Nelson in 2005 with my Brother 10 years older.. He told me I wanted to see Mr. Dylan before I die. Thank God they're still both Alive. The next day our 101.5 year old Grandma passed away and sharper than a tack. 💞 Still have the local newspaper. ✌️💞🥁🎸🎤
Yes! Because he actually read the book and understood it! Having just read it myself (listened via Audible) I can affirm that he read it because the whole way through Dylan maintains that he was not who people thought he was, who they intended him to be or said he was publicly and for decades. Amazing!

Blessed by the devil and he admits it when he talks about making a deal with the chief commander. 2nd Corinthians 4:4 states Satan is the god of this world so Dylan's nothing to admire. Sold his soul!
You can tell Bob liked and trusted Ed Bradley; he could tell Bradley was coming from a place of sincerity and honesty. And even though he was the finest of professional journalists, you can also tell Bradley was a real fan of a real legend. This interview is a treasure--thank you--!
My dad used to play Dylan constantly when i was growing up, i found it annoying until i was about 15, my dad gave me a book of his lyrics written down and I read them, they touched my soul in a way i cant explain. Im 34 now and I have had the honor of seeing him perform once, he still has the magic, he is the magic. I sung "make you feel my love" to my husband at my wedding reception as a suprise, my dad suprised me with a second daddy daughter dance "forever young"...no one knew about either plan beforehand except the DJ. Dylan is a huge part of the relationship i have with my dad to this day.
The moment when he says he went to the crossroad to make a deal with the ‘Chief Commander’ and the reporter knows exactly what he means is so eerie and give me chills even if I’m a Christian and aware of the unseen spiritual realm exists.
No one succeeds in the music industry, Hollywood or even becomes a mainstream media journalist without first selling their soul. People with influence have to be controlled.
@@derp8575 Don’t you think they’re maybe saying that to get attention ? You can’t actually sell your soul to Satan because according to the bible your soul belongs to god
Why? All he did was ask question lol. For all we know the entire interview was scripted. We have no idea how much time elapsed every time the cameras transitioned. "Action!"..."so I made a deal with the chief commander". It may very well be all staged. It's called tell-a-vision for a reason.
Yes. You are right. The most straight forward I've ever heard him. He took the interview seriously. He wasn't running his eyes or dodging or giving smart ass comments. I saw this the first time it broadcast. I even got off work early to watch it. Now, I wouldn't do any of that for anyone but that was then and this is now. He is a force to be reckoned with and people still are.
Dylan clearly doesn't take all the attention seriously because he is highly intelligent and I think he realizes that fame is an illusion and he has never been bothered by what people think of him. ...smart guy...
@@andybrown6981 Oh , bravo! You ought to put it in quotattion marks " alive" ! Because who in this world is not spoiled , getting old ! Oh , times ,times ! Everithing was natural in 60 to 70 ties ! They took all treasure of old civilisation's poetry . We were young and flattered about " western music lirics "! All ancient expresions for poetry , they appropriated as their own . John Lennon remined more inocent !
@@voskreglavincevska3651 most history repeats - just in slightly different ways. You know I heard Ringo Starr got his inspiration from the apes that used to hit bones together in 12,000 BC. Do you think he was appropriating their technique...? I think so. What a cheat.
In addition to giving the world great songs Dylan is hilarious...mostly because he doesn't take himself too seriously. There are a ton of musical folks, far far less talented, who would benefit themselves greatly by doing the same. Love this guy!
@@taylorconrad1439 think your bang on there, I reckon bob dylan is much more concerned of living up the standards he places on himself than what others expect of him AS dylan said himself, ' The only ones u done lie 2 his yourself and God
@@andrewhindley7548 Exactly. He doesn't "need" to keep at it for the usual reasons such as money, fame, adulation, etc. He needs to keep at it because he's still alive and has to do something with his live/time like any true artist. The drive to create doesn't necessarily stop at some arbitrary age or moment.
Exactly! He was always low key, just “telling his stories”. No vanity, no conceit, Took us all by storm, said nothing! Geez I love him, this is why we all want to sit at his feet! STILL!
Holy mother of God. This interview has depth. It says something about American culture regarding the dynamics of rebellious youth and their parents. Every generation has this dynamic, but American culture gave rebellious youth an opportunity to glamorize their rebellion through the medium of art in the form of entertainment. Man, there is a lot to dissect about this.
Some generations more encouraging to the useful form s of art and musical expression So far ahead, as He's always bee, he was in the only place... at the right time. Never reaveal the real dream', because someone will seek to destroy it.'Many Im sure tried killing his.Words of Wisdom. But look that's- It's Bobby D. The One, The Only.
Thank you for the post. Dylan was the voice of my generation. There’s just a lot of truth to his music.🎼 Like it or not, he was voice of a generation.😊🎶☮️
Homenuggets rode that Luciferian broomstick all the way to the top. He doesn't even know how he wrote some of those songs.....that's because he didn't write those songs......they came from da debil Bobby Boucher
I took my friend to see Dylan and Mellencamp in Vegas for her bday. I didn't want to see Dylan because I didn't care for his music that much but she loved him. It ended up being the greatest concert I'd ever seen and I was crying my eyes out by the third song. It was magic. Even thinking about it today takes my breath away.❤
Hello, how're you doing? Do you know you can have a private conversation with Bob Dylan? We're doing a random selection of Bob Dylan's fans. we'll love to know what you think about Bob Dylan and his music
Dylan is extraordinary. The creativity, intelligence, and self-awareness are a lot to live in one body. His wit is sharp, quick, and spot on. I adore Bob.
Well he just admitted that he sold his soul. People think that's a joke but he isn't joking. Many artists have admitted that they sold their soul. He has said something "something" else wrote his songs.
Wow. Even Bob is neither proud of himself nor his accomplishment. As he already reported, he even doesn't know what he was doing as his fame, prestige and influence was from Satan.
@@lake3176 many artists get there fame from satan. When they sing about selling their soul or "running with the devil" they are being dead serious. To many artists have admitted to selling their soul and sacrificing animals in closets for me not to believe they are telling the truth.
Bob seems a very modest man for someone of such immense fame. At least he shared his brilliant mind with the rest of us. The ability to do that is another sort of gift and yet clearly has its costs. Imagine the responsibility that comes with being called a prophet of your generation? Imagine every word you write or utter being so hyper-analyzed. It is no wonder he rejects such talk and so seldom speaks publicly.
I really think that is part of why another movie is being made about him (A Complete Unknown). You can almost look at it as the devil holding up his end of the bargain, keeping Bob famous, helping him be romanticized and remembered.. that's what you're paying for when you do that deal. Worldly fame and pleasure and gain. For those who want to scoff and laugh at me saying this... did you hear the man say what he said? He couldn't be more clear. HE clearly believes the devil is real. Maybe it's time we all start understanding he is. And I guarantee you the religion that devil hates the most is Christianity and more specifically Catholicism, because it is true and powerful against him.
@@cockeyedoptimista No sh_t. And, he deserved to win a Nobel Prize for literature five years ago?!? Geez, talk about being undeserving. My dog has more talent than Dylan.
My dad too used to sit in his chair and play "blood on the tracks" and smoke his cigar and drink a glass of wine and i always thought it annoying as well then i turned about 16 or 27 and one day his music just blindsided me!i got it and KNEW i was listening to greatness that will never be replicated! I was looked at ad a doek by my friends who were lisyening to rush and Madonna it was after all the 80s. Now years later i still find him almost other worldly in his mastery of poetry and the completeness of a story told un 5 or 6 min all the while written in rhyme. Damn thats almost a God like talent ..
i was around when Dylan hit in 1965. Was too young to understand what the songs really meant. by 1970 i was caught up and blown-away. than Dylan made a series of lesser albums. in fact it seemed he was over-the-hill ... i picked up two kids hitchiking in like 1984 and asked them what they were listening too and they said " Blood on the Tracks " . these were two ignorant seeming kids - maybe 15 - in an area kind of back-woods. I never thought Dylan would make an album that communicated with THEM. tremendous album taken out of the gut ....
"...the only one you have to think twice about lying to, is God and yourself...". That's enough right there for me to give my total respect to Bob Dylan. In all these years he hasn't lost his flair for gentle simplicity and truth. Thanks Bob. You're not my prophet, my savior or my guru, you're just someone I can appreciate and respect for who they are.

Do you realize he is over 80 years old now. This interview was taken about 20 years ago when he was 63. I'm so glad he is still living and hopefully doing well. I've been a great fan of Bob Dylan, went to his concerts around Europe in the 80+90es. I stopped when his voice got too rusty. But always emotionally yours Bob !
Yep, but not all wise that's an oxymoron statement, with him having sold his soul. A cult following like all celebrities have, all in the comments. He knows fame is all false. People in the comments, you can not bargain with God, He don't play games with souls, repent come to Jesus. 1 John 5:19👿 Revelation 21:8 ☠
Seeing him dealing with the media in his early 20s is eye opening. How many people his age could see what they were trying to do with him and not play that game?
Such a nice guy (but wouldn’t think so) 😂 I hope he realises that he can opt out of his pact with the chief commander at any time if he goes to the right guy.

@@edminer9061 1% Right, I heard him before he was famous and he could hardly play the guitar, it was a racket. He couldn't sing either his voice was dreadful and he certainly couldn't write any songs
Easily the most poignant and pinpoint comment added here... I stumbled upon some interesting information about him recently, it’s hard to stomach once learning of it because it’s ... blood on the tracks... no puns, only a clue of what he would find in his own life after that masterpiece album. oddly that the albums title never did spill the beans within the text of the music inside. I always felt it was regressing something so vivid within his life that it had yet to be as history for him. A feeling you find about yourself and the present future that you can’t conclude it to be anything other than coming your way. He would though, like the title hexes find that the tracks Dylan was on would in fact turn bloody. Being a Dylan fan myself i was stunted and down for some time, heavily enveloped in the BIG WHY connected to it. Is the information i found true, well by my research and careful combing of his life in light of the subject matter, i would sadly say yes it is. i would rather be wrong. Yes he is a Jew-christian and to add to the humility that endows this spirit, he isn’t an evil man, this must be stated. However he did by my findings, and I will interject here that YES GOD did enlighten me to this info, taking me into the codes of things that GOD for some reason wanted me to have known. I am a sound mind for those whom are steadfast to discredit. Revelations as such do at times happen just like so. Again, Dylan IS a beautiful soul, Only at a hiccup he did do an Evil thing. It coincides with his deal he speaks of here, though he cleverly distorts the timeline so people could never figure out his ... Error. An error that GOD will judge him for. I sit back and say after heavy thoughts that he has more than inspired people even to the word of GOD, and i’m sure that Angels will bring cause for his place in the paradise heaven. Clearly his music released that follows this horrid incident secures OUR understanding for HIM, that he deeply regrets what he has done. I’d add that he respectfully manages to slice his music’s breath of natural and regal lure for vain-less relativity - apart from his this monstrosity and it’s anguish of him being overcome by it to see the deed through... However secret it is, considering that they are both one made into marriage... once understanding the revelation of his tenacity to be BOB DYLAN. Funny that with all the depth this soul has within, so much so that his inspired writings and proses, rich with the beautiful views of the passionate discords we people endure, profound that they feel as if BOB DYLAN knows what we are to learn through him, in that we are finding a dim light made to illuminate our paths brightly, would find such a FOUL within him. That a fool of him had shortened what was the supreme of him. .... This light made bright because of him, though always there within us... From what a fool would torch, we uncomfortably have to re-examine if we had known this would we want only this sleepy beauty of enlightenment made so enriched for us be so... well yes i digress but maybe no... What’s more, it’s Robert Zimmerman, the man mom and dad named him as that ultimately has to face his demon that he gave life to that dark hour. His ego coming to life. Not the typical understanding of egos we come to learn in that it’s the other way around. Fame or Power or Money overruling in zeal over the humble ones once known to be them. Here it’s that Rob that was the Giant of no gentle tenor. I’m certain GOD will remove all his intricate layers he wisely fished and fed into, all the Dylan that made him to be BEST for himself and everyone, until the naked man that he kept mute and unknown all his life is left before GOD. It’s Robert whom will have to be the soul that finds the scales of justice upon him. I wonder if what little he himself as having lived Rob be enough to make the grade? i don’t know knowing what i know in not sure yes i forgive him ... then i don’t like a rose loosing pedals i pray that as the last one frees itself from the stem that it secures forgiveness. I wonder what GOD will make of our BOB, our ages Poet in contrast to his lesser incarnation of his truest identity. An Identity that GOD did not create for him, however far and wide from anywhere to there Dylan tried to in his journey of life to delete Robert because of himself knowing what self that self had potential to let out. An ONSLAUGHT to loathe.. GOD will NAKED what is clothed, GOD is JUST. well, there is also the other party that knows of this, and i’m sure Angels will bring cause to this side as well. i know, your asking what did he do? to whom? say it! play Sarah from Desire yes as a commentator has said here on this thread wayyyyy more to this guy than people know Life is Without a Rhyme to be the man whom GOD calls to be judged at such a crime. We know Dylan is beautiful, and he is GOD has layered him beautifully. love you all want to know more ask
Love that Dylan pays no mind to “Like A Rolling Stone” being No.1 on the Rolling Stone list here. Just like he predicts, a few years later it falls to 4 on the list behind a few songs that wouldn’t have existed without Dylan’s work.
It only fell because the magazine got woke. Putting Public Enemy ahead of Dylan and the Beatles is abject nonsense, regardless of how good (or bad) you think P.E. was.
@@peternash3166 His voice has accurately been described as a "cow with its head stuck in a fence". So, I agree with that part of your statement. However, his lyrics are sheer genius. I am sorry they don't resonate with you. So many unbelievable insights. It can be as simple as a song that so many underestimate: Mr. Tambourine Man. (Not the Byrds version of course...that is sheer bubblegum.) Go camping in the desert by yourself. Look up at the diamond sky...and listen to it. It's so simple yet so transformational. Our culture constantly bombards us with meaningless distractions that try to convince us that we need to act a certain way. Look a certain way. Buy certain things that are supposed to make us happy. It's about eliminating all those meaningless distractions and just being present. Then you realize that it is true: "But for the sky, there are no fences facing".
Fascinating interview. Never heard him speak very long before. He is modest, short but at least speaks. I once saw him in concert in Seattle. He was very religious and the audience wanted him to sing the songs that made him famous. I enjoyed him anyway. The whole family has enjoyed him. I liked ed alot whenever he interviewed anyone. Rip. Thanks utube
I loved all the periods of his life. I also saw him in Denver , he sang and even preached on stage. Tom and the group were not pleased, but hey that's Bobby!! I saw him in Philly Spectrum 70's. I was in the middle of the field in Ft Collins my last concert. I was heckling and laughing having a great time. Joan was not pleased, LOL! Joan sings like my mother Dec -Jan people! Bobby is family a long lost brother a cousin many times removed! He has been allowed a long life with wives children homes and all with tribulation. We all have destiny and it is bringing us to this moment in time all for a purpose! buckle up your seat belts, here we go.........
Dont like his religious period,hard to understand why he would convert to Christianity and also support ultra orthodox Judaism. Cant stand evangelicals and Chabad folks

Dylan is my favorite songwriter and performer ever. But, what a fantastic interviewer Ed Bradley was. RIP. We need more like him. He wanted answers and got them without being pushy. They may have not been answered like he wanted, but he was fine with what he got. Bob Dylan had to respect him to sit down with him. Dylan doesn't do this very often. It is so interesting when he does though.
@@camdenc3190 His name is Bob Dylan. He changed it very early on. Like he said, it’s the land of the free. Everybody lies. Dylan’s an honest man otherwise. Of course saying this, you’ll probably go out your way to disprove that claim. So what’s the point in typing to people who only want to be right and not righteous.
"You can't doing something forever...You can doing something else..." -- Bob Dylan That's so cool. That's called maturity/wisdom and insight. I have a completely different view of him now than I ever have, and I'm so glad that I have seen this. It has taught me, once again, that you (I) should never judge.
Well said mate humble wise,artistic, and pleases the Great one. What's that scripture seek Heaven first and blessings would follow? It seems 2 have worked for Bob

Ed Bradley was well respected musician in his own right. The perfect choice to conduct this interview. He was always my favourite of the bunch. Always out-cooled every celebrity he interviewed. He was lost to soon. 🙏
I agree. Harry Reasoner's Miles Davis interview was embarrassing insofar as Reasoner was not knowledgeable about Davis' music and couldn't wait to ask him about racial issues, as if Davis' racial friction was somehow in a vacuum. Bradley would have been a better choice.
I was working at a place in '88 at the DNC. INSANE. Everybody was there. The only person who got my attention was EB. He had his own zone. So cool. RIP

Yes, you can tell he was at ease with Ed Bradley, and there was a level of respect, both ways. Bob didn't think of making silly jokes as with the mainstream media, who were out to get the best quote or whatever they wanted. Ed Bradley just wanted to know who was Bob Dylan. Not sure if he succeeded.
I know a lady who knows Dylan quite well. She told me the one thing you never see in these interviews is that he is funny as hell. He lets it crack a few in the Scorsese docs, but that’s it.
Many of Bobs songs are timeless. We all move through phases of life . Often from ideal’s in our youth to dismay at life’s sometimes tragic turns. Bob has captured what we could not say and helped us find a path that disappeared beneath our feet.

Dylan is absolutely correct when he speaks of the creative inspiration coming from a higher place. Truly authentic, transcendent art is created more through channeling than deliberate crafting.
Yeah like Prince of the power of the air. We all dance for a puppeteer but we get to choose which one. Wish they didn't edit the interview. Started getting interesting at the end. He had 3 gospel albums around 1980. 2 Peter 2:22 What the true proverb says has happened to them: “The dog returns to its own vomit, and the sow, after washing herself, returns to wallow in the mire.”
I watch him today...when you occasionally hear or see him...and words fail me. He just IS Bob Dylan...thanks Bob, your words over my lifetime are still relevant....I'm 68..got 5 more years on the road than you, but never travelled as many miles...some days...it has been a hard road..now, time to sit and view it....the good, bad and the ugly, time now for one more cuppa coffee...
There's something about Bob..🤔 He is so humble.. I just want to hug him.🤗..he looks like he wants to be loved and understood, yet left in peace... Such an accomplished man, yet seems so shy of fame after all these years.. I'm 58 and have just started listening to his records I have purchased over past 12 months...I'm enjoying what people have listened to and loved for years... I feel I'm just getting to know him... Better late than never 🙏 Bob has a fan in me 🎼
Bob speaks like he writes. Ambiguity filled basic truths for you to find and interpret. His use of our language is stunning. Recommended: Listen to his Nobel acceptance speech.
Imagine Michelangelo being asked to paint the Sistine Chapel every night, or Van Gogh asked to paint "Starry Night" every night...that's what musicians are asked to do every night on tour; "repaint" their masterpieces...act like trained seals. No wonder Dylan had such an attitude with the press and the public. The fact he's survived 60 years in the music business in the face of such scrutiny is testament to his work ethic.
@@lilyderra650 Fantastic. Thank you for asking. Are you a fan of Bob Dylan? If so, are you aware that both Dylan and The Beatles’ inspiration (for becoming singer-song-writers) was Buddy Holly?
Dylan mentions Buddy in his amazing Nobel Prize lecture. He said that he had to travel over a hundred miles to see Buddy Holly perform. He also noted that Buddy’s commitment to writing original songs and just going out there and playing them motivated Bob to do the same. It was pretty much the same with The Beatles. They saw Buddy tour Britannia and were blown away by pretty much the same things as Bobby Dylan was.
I'm so glad I grew up in his era. He is singular in his genius and art. I'm convinced this world will never see the likes of the great creativity in the 60's and 70's. Thanks Bob. You've given us so much. ❤
I’m very grateful to have grown up experiencing the 60’s and 70’s. I wish my kids could understand how profound that time was and how much more aware we are than they will ever know.
@@hew195050 Thanks for your reply. When I saw a little of the Grammy awards the other night, I couldn't believe how in just a generation music went from the sublime to the ridiculous. There was such an abundance of creativity in our day. What happened 😕?
I am also 71, and I feel fortunate to have been born at the right time and experienced this man and his songs and creativity. He will go down in history, I get to enjoy him now, and throughout my life.
What a modest and gifted man. He wasn't destined for an easy life however he has been steadfast nonetheless. No frills, no pretense, just himself. A great example of just keeping a practical philosophy.
I love this interview! Bob Dylan says it sometimes we're given the wrong name by our parents that happens! I believe that. And I love how he describes his feelings about his destiny! I feel super inspired! Thank you, Mr. Bob Dylan. 💕🥰

Aside from divorce, from the little information he or his children divulge he’s been a good father, even though he’s on a forever tour. All the Traveling Wilburys have said that scheduling around Bob’s availability was their only challenge until Roy Orbison died. Wow, my generations music has really been blessed.
How do you know? He even clearly implicated that he is not proud of himself nor able to sing some of them once again. Because those songs were not his own but done with magical/satanic influence.
I didn't take that, too, literally; I think he meant it more metaphorically, as in trying to describe the nonsensical nature of people showing up at his doorstep to just get-in a couple of words with someone of relevance. 🤔
the part about his "bargain" with the "chief commander" of this world and otherwise has stuck with me for a very long time. not a surprise, just interesting to hear bob Dylan say as much
It seems he's worried about something. He sure didn't seem to be happy with life which is odd for a man with so much success, notoriety and money. I don't believe that you can bargain with God but I'm sure you can bargain with Satan. Whoever he bargained with, he referred to him as The Chief Commander of this world and another world that you can't see. I guess he meant Hell because Satan's not going to be a Commander in the House of God. Man, I would have pressed him on what he meant and tried to get some information on exactly what he meant and who he was referring to and how did he arrange a meeting with this Chief Commander. Opportunity lost. It seemed like he wanted to get this off his chest. He sure didn't look very interested in the other questions.
Satan is the god of this world, the prince of the power of the air! It is true as Bob wrote, "you're gonna have to serve somebody, it may be the devil or it may be the Lord, but you're gonna have to serve somebody! Who is you serving?
In this entire interview, the only comment or line of questioning that Ed Bradley said that made Bob Dylan smile, smirk, or laugh was at the very end when Ed asked, "Should I ask who you made the bargain with?", "On this earth?". Dylan could only chuckle as he responded with very sinister answers. It was a type of laugh or chuckle that I've rarely ever heard before, the type of laugh only a man that knew he was doomed could make.
@Weber 562 I loved him for many yrs, seen him 20 times including last Thanksgiving but I agree with you, his pact was not with our Supreme Creator, it was the type of cabal arrangement if think Bout it. Sad, he is so talented but you hit the Nail On The Head. It was nice Bradley got that interview- after all, he was dying of cancer himself within weeks of it.
I watched this interview when it first aired in 2004 and I have mentioned it to people countless times over the years ... I have searched many times for this video ... Thank you for posting.
When asked about how he relaxes, Dylan said: "I’m a religious person. I read the scriptures a lot, meditate and pray, light candles in church." I believe in damnation and salvation, as well as predestination. The Five Books of Moses, Pauline Epistles, Invocation of the Saints, all of it." Later in the interview, when asked about what style of music was his first love, he said: "Sacred music, church music, ensemble singing." -Dylan, Wall Street Journal December 20, 2022
You know friend, I've seen this interview about 20 times over the years & never really noticed that. I've always thought it was a great interview, but his reaction to the question makes it even better to me now. That reaction is pure honesty. Thanks.
He sold his soul to the devil and he's trying to save his soul in his later years. You can't sell your soul to the devil because he has no rights over you but the devil would like you to think that. God created you and he owns your soul.
@@iamhudsdent2759 That's pantheism. God created you and wants to fellowship with you and to be one with you as a husband and a wife are one flesh. Bible teaches that, Sola Scriptura.
Bob has a wry sense of humor and uses satire in a unique way. Those creative juices flow when you're young and you just can't do the same thing as you get older. Sometimes the words seem to roll off your tongue and you play with words. But you can progress and move on to other things. He's probably been asked more questions than about anybody. One of my favorites by him in addition to all his early stuff when he went looking for Woodie Guthrie, is "Million Miles" which you may not have heard. 500 songs? I think the Beatles did about 400 and the duo of Jagger/Richards about 350. If you haven't heard it you should listen to "Tom Thumb's Blues."
Nokia chief executive officer Pekka Lundmark at World Economic Forum in Davos. Nokia expects 6G systems to launch commercially by 2030, following the typical 10-year cycle between generations. "By then the smartphone as we know it today will not anymore be the most common interface,” he said. “Many of these things will be built directly into our bodies". Revelation 20:4 and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark in their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.

@@BrandonKyle7 he’s been popping up all over the place (Dylan related posts) ... on all the new videos released.... next time I see him on one of those I’m going to report him.
His humility is truly Breathtaking. His honesty breathtaking. He knows who he is and who he is not. Most don’t have a clue who they are. His destiny to know it and keep it inside.. his conversations with the force are everywhere..god is in everything he creates.. this was so beautiful.. thank you Ed… thank you bob.. you are a true individual 🙏🦬🙏
Chronicles, Volume 1 is the greatest book I've ever read written by or about anyone in the entertainment field. No ghostwriters, possibly just cleaned up somewhat by editors. Amazing way with words. It's even better as an Audiobook with Sean Penn doing the reading. I suppose we'll never get a Volume 2. Heckuva shame.
Well, he was prophetic in that in the new Rolling Stone list, Like A Rolling Stone isn't number 1 anymore. Dylan's whole entire way of being just cuts through the bs with an economy of words that gets to the point.
Those Hipster Rolling Stone 'lists" of the top 500 or whatever is always going to change. Hoagey Carmichael was around #388 20 years ago.now he;s replaced by Busta Ryhmes. The list will always change. Bob Knows fame is fleeting.
My take on the Rolling Stone's second top 500 Song List was that the differint order and new songs weren't better. . .but that since it would be controversial to do another list with a different order, etc it would simply sell more magazines. Of course its all subjective but the first list has more of the ring of truth to it. Again, my opinion.
My mom went to Hibbing High School with him… my grandfather helped build the school and gorgeous auditorium where he started. Hibbing is an incredible little town. What a brilliant man…. DYLAN allll day.
If you pick up the most recent Time magazine special edition on Dylan, high school photos, you'll see a "Stephen LeDoux" on that yearbook page. That's Scottie LeDoux's (legendary MN. heavyweight boxer) uncle. Fascinating.
@@lake3176 Is your name Lake? My grand daughters name is Lake, she is 8 years old. Dylan energized us with his freestyle, his words, and his less than perfect voice. Often people do not recognize that they are hemmed in or confined, until an energy of a different sort arrives. We do not actually understand the totality of what music does to us, as individuals, or as a group. But the heart recognizes when it is shifting inner direction .Sometimes the robins song is enough to change the outlook I have on a given day, for which I am gladdened. I probably did not do your question justice, but I have made an attempt to honor your worthy question. May the sun shine for you today.
@@marjoriegoodwin2993 Have you ever heard what he said? "Long time ago I bargained with chief of command....". What does that mean to you? Whom you think "chief of command"? a tree? a dog? What do you think the bargain had been?
@@lake3176 What song is that of which you speak? Perhaps I could listen to it. Sometimes, when folks pray, it is a bit like a bargain. For instance `Please God let me be successful and I promise to build a children`s hospital`. In my own personal life the chief of command would always be The First Source and Center of the Universe, so I would answer your question on my own personal experience. When Jesus spoke, he spoke in parables, which allowed each man to take from his speech, that which found a reception in his own heart. What people take away from anything, tells more about the receiver than the giver. Or more about the listener, than the speaker. There are people on this planet who pick up from the vast undiscovered knowledge which floats through and around our earth. We often call them poets, writers, bards, or singers. Essentially they have the wonderful gift of catching, (almost as if they have a butterfly net) verses, or information. Poets write poems. Musicians set those gifts to music. Am I dragging you way off of your path? Sorry if so. I am not a concrete thinker, so I drift from one thing to another, but I do realize that many find it impossible to follow me. My apologies.
Sorry if this is rude to ask but is your generation a part of the 60s? Were you involved in the folk scene when Dylan came around :) I’m very interested in stories from those times, I wish I could meet older people who had stories that explain the spark of the scene during that time
I hear him. Creativity is ephemeral. May he be more grounded and at peace. Bless him. Our culture threatens ego and self. Commercialaztion sucks. Bless him for trying. We are not products. I was blessed to be at the first Rolling Thunder. The urge is huge from the Chief. 💙
May I comment here? Just something for you to ponder. It is possible that happiness does not actually exist. Just moments of joy. Extended joy, limited joy. Quiet joy, elated joy. I do not expect you to agree, I am only asking that you ponder this. It requires fishing around in your own individual soul to identify your own truth. Thanks for thinking about this.
@@marjoriegoodwin2993 happiness and joy are the same thing. Nobody is happy forever. We all oscillate between suffering and joy and the lucky ones tip the scale more heavily and more often toward joy, the unlucky toward suffering.

Dylan is so amazing that he can make 60 minutes feel like only 15 minutes.
Spellbinding isn't it? I saw what you did there...lol
Bob would argue he will make 15 minutes feel like 60 minutes. 😉
I laughed at your post. Very clever.
😅 I took it serious till I checked the duration
The times they are a-changing
😂
Bob even speaks wonderful lyrics in conversation.
He sold his soul.
His explanation about knowing his destiny, but keeping it to himself - “It’s a fragile thing, and if you put it out there, people will kill it.” Putting into words what so many have felt.
Dylan appears to be a secretive soul.
Just as the lyrics to his songs contain subliminal messages
So does he as he nonchalantly answers otherwise revealing questions

He is alive!
@@jakovbilic4556dude don't
Sad he died at such a young age. Agree wholeheartedly, he was tremendous. Sadly journalists of this quality are either no longer given a platform or are drown out by so many voices brought on by the internet. The internet gives a voice to people that do not religiously follow journalist ethics like Ed Bradley and most of the great ones. As a result the truth is more difficult to ascertain.

True. He does a great job here.
I knew his mother; she was a friend of mine. She was a great and she had hundreds and hundreds of friends many of whom were members of the Twin Cities Jewish community.
I worked at a country club that she was a member of and it took me a lot of courage to broach the topic of Dylan with her. I waited until I had gotten to know her fairly well responded to one of her frequent mentions of "Bobby" to nervously say "Bobby, that's Bob" she cut me off and said "that's right, Bob Dylan".
She was just a typical Jewish mother who was insanely proud of her children and grandchildren. The last time I saw her was in Lunds grocery store when she spotted me and after we exchanged pleasantries she asked me if I was still working at the University of St Thomas because she had a grandson who was starting there in the fall and wanted me to look him up.
This kid was a serious musician:. His primary instrument was either drums or guitar but was good enough to teach both. One day I was in one of the music spaces and I heard someone playing an absolutely amazing classical piece on the piano. It was complicated and was being played sans mistakes. When I got close enough to see who was playing this beautiful piece the player looked up and it was him. I'm no musician but to be that good at three very different instruments at age 20 strikes me as being a rare trait.
Thanks for this insight! Very cool

Proably one of the best people to interview dylan
I could've done without the fawning, especially as Dylan described how alienating and burdensome that was for him.
I think a chat would be easier he's very aware of his pedestal and very embarrassed by it.
Luv you Bob thank you ✌
Yes! Because he actually read the book and understood it! Having just read it myself (listened via Audible) I can affirm that he read it because the whole way through Dylan maintains that he was not who people thought he was, who they intended him to be or said he was publicly and for decades. Amazing!
Anthony Mason is very sensitive and insightful interviewing musicians too.

Agree. Lucky to have been here in the 60s to experience his genius.
Blessed by the devil and he admits it when he talks about making a deal with the chief commander. 2nd Corinthians 4:4 states Satan is the god of this world so Dylan's nothing to admire. Sold his soul!
You can tell Bob liked and trusted Ed Bradley; he could tell Bradley was coming from a place of sincerity and honesty. And even though he was the finest of professional journalists, you can also tell Bradley was a real fan of a real legend. This interview is a treasure--thank you--!
One Dylan quote when asked why he came out with a new album after being quiet for a season was “I needed the money”. I loved the honesty.
He was making fun of people and didn’t want to answer any questions.
My dad used to play Dylan constantly when i was growing up, i found it annoying until i was about 15, my dad gave me a book of his lyrics written down and I read them, they touched my soul in a way i cant explain. Im 34 now and I have had the honor of seeing him perform once, he still has the magic, he is the magic. I sung "make you feel my love" to my husband at my wedding reception as a suprise, my dad suprised me with a second daddy daughter dance "forever young"...no one knew about either plan beforehand except the DJ. Dylan is a huge part of the relationship i have with my dad to this day.
Beautiful story. I dunno why but it brought tears to my eyes to read of your Daddy daughter surprises.
Thanks for sharing!

These men are telling you he sold his soul and you just ignored it.
The moment when he says he went to the crossroad to make a deal with the ‘Chief Commander’ and the reporter knows exactly what he means is so eerie and give me chills even if I’m a Christian and aware of the unseen spiritual realm exists.
No one succeeds in the music industry, Hollywood or even becomes a mainstream media journalist without first selling their soul. People with influence have to be controlled.
He probably just said that to mess with the interviewer and add more mystery to himself he’s openly admitted to lying to the media
@@Ryan-kn6xd That's baseless speculation. Many famous people have been admitting that they sold their souls. Rappers especially.
@@derp8575 Don’t you think they’re maybe saying that to get attention ? You can’t actually sell your soul to Satan because according to the bible your soul belongs to god

Ed bradley is the only reporter that could of pulled off this interview.... Kudos to both of these gentlemen.
could have
Why? All he did was ask question lol. For all we know the entire interview was scripted. We have no idea how much time elapsed every time the cameras transitioned. "Action!"..."so I made a deal with the chief commander". It may very well be all staged. It's called tell-a-vision for a reason.
Bradley made HIMSELF look good thru this interview. in the best way. the two collaborated for an amazing moment.
Bob deeply respected Ed Bradley, as he showed in this interview. As a result, the “big questions” were answered fully, perhaps for the only time.
Always morose ,moody and a fark soul.
Yes. You are right. The most straight forward I've ever heard him. He took the interview seriously. He wasn't running his eyes or dodging or giving smart ass comments. I saw this the first time it broadcast. I even got off work early to watch it. Now, I wouldn't do any of that for anyone but that was then and this is now. He is a force to be reckoned with and people still are.
Funny how respect can do that. Ed was my favourite on 60 minutes.
@@kathypiazza7228 Ed was my favorite too
I've seen other interviews where he would dance around. This one gave us real answers.
Dylan clearly doesn't take all the attention seriously because he is highly intelligent and I think he realizes that fame is an illusion and he has never been bothered by what people think of him. ...smart guy...

In addition to giving the world great songs Dylan is hilarious...mostly because he doesn't take himself too seriously. There are a ton of musical folks, far far less talented, who would benefit themselves greatly by doing the same. Love this guy!

He doesn't "need" to keep at it for the usual reasons such as money, fame, adulation, etc. He needs to keep at it because he's still alive and has to do something with his live/time like any true artist. The drive to create doesn't necessarily stop at some arbitrary age or moment.
Exactly! He was always low key, just “telling his stories”. No vanity, no conceit,
Took us all by storm, said nothing!
Geez I love him, this is why we all want to sit at his feet! STILL!
Holy mother of God. This interview has depth. It says something about American culture regarding the dynamics of rebellious youth and their parents. Every generation has this dynamic, but American culture gave rebellious youth an opportunity to glamorize their rebellion through the medium of art in the form of entertainment. Man, there is a lot to dissect about this.
Thanks for your comment that brought to my mind the saying, or fact, that the idea of the "teenager" originated in the United States?

Great interview by Ed Bradley, he probably is already sick here of cancer. He is an icon like Dylan. Its wonderful they got together.
Nice empathy.
Ed Bradley is the gold standard of interviewing.
Loved Ed Bradley. Miss his interviews.
I took my friend to see Dylan and Mellencamp in Vegas for her bday. I didn't want to see Dylan because I didn't care for his music that much but she loved him. It ended up being the greatest concert I'd ever seen and I was crying my eyes out by the third song. It was magic. Even thinking about it today takes my breath away.❤

Bob seems a very modest man for someone of such immense fame. At least he shared his brilliant mind with the rest of us. The ability to do that is another sort of gift and yet clearly has its costs.
Imagine the responsibility that comes with being called a prophet of your generation? Imagine every word you write or utter being so hyper-analyzed. It is no wonder he rejects such talk and so seldom speaks publicly.

Another one who sold his soul for fame ? Don't be fooled!
It's still being done today.
Sometimes I think I’ve heard it all then you hear something and say. What?
I really think that is part of why another movie is being made about him (A Complete Unknown). You can almost look at it as the devil holding up his end of the bargain, keeping Bob famous, helping him be romanticized and remembered.. that's what you're paying for when you do that deal. Worldly fame and pleasure and gain. For those who want to scoff and laugh at me saying this... did you hear the man say what he said? He couldn't be more clear. HE clearly believes the devil is real. Maybe it's time we all start understanding he is. And I guarantee you the religion that devil hates the most is Christianity and more specifically Catholicism, because it is true and powerful against him.
Bob Dylan was (and is) so important it can't be measured....
Bob Dylan is second to absolutely no one when it comes to musical poetry. His talent will never be repeated by anyone else. He is a legend.

My dad too used to sit in his chair and play "blood on the tracks" and smoke his cigar and drink a glass of wine and i always thought it annoying as well then i turned about 16 or 27 and one day his music just blindsided me!i got it and KNEW i was listening to greatness that will never be replicated! I was looked at ad a doek by my friends who were lisyening to rush and Madonna it was after all the 80s. Now years later i still find him almost other worldly in his mastery of poetry and the completeness of a story told un 5 or 6 min all the while written in rhyme. Damn thats almost a God like talent ..
i was around when Dylan hit in 1965. Was too young to understand what the songs really meant. by 1970 i was caught up and blown-away. than Dylan made a series of lesser albums. in fact it seemed he was over-the-hill ... i picked up two kids hitchiking in like 1984 and asked them what they were listening too and they said " Blood on the Tracks " . these were two ignorant seeming kids - maybe 15 - in an area kind of back-woods. I never thought Dylan would make an album that communicated with THEM. tremendous album taken out of the gut ....
The most real Dylan interview I have ever seen..
"...the only one you have to think twice about lying to, is God and yourself...". That's enough right there for me to give my total respect to Bob Dylan. In all these years he hasn't lost his flair for gentle simplicity and truth. Thanks Bob. You're not my prophet, my savior or my guru, you're just someone I can appreciate and respect for who they are.

In my humble opinion Bob Dylan is the greatest song writer of the 20th century
Do you think this is an original thought …?
One of many
Without a doubt. His songs are timeless
There are a few Bob is one of them I'd have to include Paul McCartney. He wrote I'll follow the Sun when he was 15 where did that come from at 15.
Greatest ever in some ways..
His humility and understanding of how things actually are , is astounding.
Was just thinking the same thing.
Grounded
"Humility"? You still don't get it, poor Bob.

Easily the most poignant and pinpoint comment added here...
I stumbled upon some interesting information about him recently,
it’s hard to stomach once learning of it because it’s ...
blood on the tracks...
no puns, only a clue of what he would find in his own life after that masterpiece album.
oddly that the albums title never did spill the beans within the text of the music inside. I always felt it was regressing something so vivid within his life that it had yet to be as history for him. A feeling you find about yourself and the present future that you can’t conclude it to be anything other than coming your way.
He would though,
like the title hexes find that the tracks Dylan was on would in fact turn bloody.
Being a Dylan fan myself i was stunted and down for some time, heavily enveloped in the BIG WHY connected to it.
Is the information i found true,
well by my research and careful combing of his life in light of the subject matter,
i would sadly say yes it is.
i would rather be wrong.
Yes he is a Jew-christian
and to add to the humility that endows this spirit,
he isn’t an evil man, this must be stated.
However he did by my findings, and I will interject here that YES GOD did enlighten me to this info, taking me into the codes of things that GOD for some reason wanted me to have known.
I am a sound mind for those whom are steadfast to discredit.
Revelations as such do at times happen just like so.
Again, Dylan IS a beautiful soul, Only at a hiccup he did do an Evil thing.
It coincides with his deal he speaks of here, though he cleverly distorts the timeline so people could never figure out his ...
Error.
An error that GOD will judge him for.
I sit back and say after heavy thoughts that he has more than inspired people even to the word of GOD,
and i’m sure that Angels will bring cause for his place in the paradise heaven.
Clearly his music released that follows this horrid incident secures OUR understanding for HIM,
that he deeply regrets what he has done.
I’d add that he respectfully manages to slice his music’s breath of natural and regal lure for vain-less relativity -
apart from his this monstrosity and it’s anguish of him being overcome by it to see the deed through...
However secret it is,
considering that they are both one made into marriage...
once understanding the revelation of his tenacity to be BOB DYLAN.
Funny that with all the depth this soul has within,
so much so that his inspired writings and proses,
rich with the beautiful views of the passionate discords we people endure,
profound that they feel as if BOB DYLAN knows what we are to learn through him,
in that we are finding a dim light made to illuminate our paths brightly,
would find such a FOUL within him.
That a fool of him had shortened what was the supreme of him.
....
This light made bright because of him,
though always there within us...
From what a fool would torch,
we uncomfortably have to re-examine if we had known this would we want only this sleepy beauty of enlightenment made so enriched for us be so...
well yes i digress but maybe no...
What’s more, it’s Robert Zimmerman,
the man mom and dad named him as that ultimately has to face his demon that he gave life to that dark hour.
His ego coming to life.
Not the typical understanding of egos we come to learn in that it’s the other way around.
Fame or Power or Money overruling in zeal over the humble ones once known to be them.
Here it’s that Rob that was the Giant of no gentle tenor.
I’m certain GOD will remove all his intricate layers he wisely fished and fed into,
all the Dylan that made him to be BEST for himself and everyone,
until the naked man that he kept mute and unknown all his life is left before GOD.
It’s Robert whom will have to be the soul that finds the scales of justice upon him.
I wonder if what little he himself as having lived Rob be enough to make the grade?
i don’t know
knowing what i know
in not sure
yes i forgive him ... then i don’t
like a rose loosing pedals
i pray that as the last one frees itself from the stem that it secures forgiveness.
I wonder what GOD will make of our BOB,
our ages Poet in contrast to his lesser incarnation of his truest identity.
An Identity that GOD did not create for him,
however far and wide from anywhere to there Dylan tried to in his journey of life to delete Robert because of himself knowing what self that self had potential to let out.
An ONSLAUGHT to loathe..
GOD will NAKED what is clothed, GOD is JUST.
well, there is also the other party that knows of this, and i’m sure Angels will bring cause to this side as well.
i know,
your asking
what did he do? to whom?
say it!
play Sarah from Desire
yes as a commentator has said here on this thread
wayyyyy more to this guy than people know
Life is Without a Rhyme to be the man whom GOD calls to be judged at such a crime.
We know Dylan is beautiful,
and he is
GOD has layered him beautifully.
love you all
want to know more

Love that Dylan pays no mind to “Like A Rolling Stone” being No.1 on the Rolling Stone list here. Just like he predicts, a few years later it falls to 4 on the list behind a few songs that wouldn’t have existed without Dylan’s work.
exactly
What's no. 1 now YMCA Village People?
@@vernpascal1531 🤣🤣🥰
It only fell because the magazine got woke. Putting Public Enemy ahead of Dylan and the Beatles is abject nonsense, regardless of how good (or bad) you think P.E. was.
@@HoyaSaxaSD that is a very insightful view on the magazine, but he is talking about the song where he wails: How does it feel?!!
Brilliant interview of an amazing individual. Needs time to reflect on.
Most people think he’s obscure and strange. To me, he makes absolute sense.
💯agreed
He never made any sense to me including his music over the years He comes off as burned out addict with no real voice for singing
Who’s most people?
@@peternash3166 His voice has accurately been described as a "cow with its head stuck in a fence". So, I agree with that part of your statement. However, his lyrics are sheer genius. I am sorry they don't resonate with you.
So many unbelievable insights. It can be as simple as a song that so many underestimate: Mr. Tambourine Man. (Not the Byrds version of course...that is sheer bubblegum.) Go camping in the desert by yourself. Look up at the diamond sky...and listen to it. It's so simple yet so transformational. Our culture constantly bombards us with meaningless distractions that try to convince us that we need to act a certain way. Look a certain way. Buy certain things that are supposed to make us happy. It's about eliminating all those meaningless distractions and just being present. Then you realize that it is true: "But for the sky, there are no fences facing".
He’s awesome. So much depth.
Fascinating interview. Never heard him speak very long before. He is modest, short but at least speaks. I once saw him in concert in Seattle. He was very religious and the audience wanted him to sing the songs that made him famous. I enjoyed him anyway. The whole family has enjoyed him. I liked ed alot whenever he interviewed anyone. Rip. Thanks utube
I loved all the periods of his life. I also saw him in Denver , he sang and even preached on stage. Tom and the group were not pleased, but hey that's Bobby!! I saw him in Philly Spectrum 70's. I was in the middle of the field in Ft Collins my last concert. I was heckling and laughing having a great time. Joan was not pleased, LOL! Joan sings like my mother Dec -Jan people! Bobby is family a long lost brother a cousin many times removed! He has been allowed a long life with wives children homes and all with tribulation. We all have destiny and it is bringing us to this moment in time all for a purpose! buckle up your seat belts, here we go.........
Dont like his religious period,hard to understand why he would convert to Christianity and also support ultra orthodox Judaism. Cant stand evangelicals and Chabad folks
I saw him in Seattle 3x
Bob is brilliant!
Ed did a fantastic interview and managed to get a smile for Bob at the end of the interview. RIP Ed Bradley, you are missed!

Dylan is my favorite songwriter and performer ever. But, what a fantastic interviewer Ed Bradley was. RIP. We need more like him. He wanted answers and got them without being pushy. They may have not been answered like he wanted, but he was fine with what he got. Bob Dylan had to respect him to sit down with him. Dylan doesn't do this very often. It is so interesting when he does though.
I agree he is a pleasant interviewer
Years ago, while delivering to 60 Minutes, I caught an elevator ride down to the lobby with Mr. Bradley. Alas, no words were exchanged.
This is outstanding. An interview with a person who doesn't lie. How rare is that?
Doesn't lie? He lied all the time.
His name is Robert Zimmerman and he's been manipulating $$$$ the MSM, the record Industry and Show Business. For a long time!
How can you tell
Doesn’t lie his name isn’t even bob dylan
@@camdenc3190 His name is Bob Dylan. He changed it very early on. Like he said, it’s the land of the free. Everybody lies. Dylan’s an honest man otherwise. Of course saying this, you’ll probably go out your way to disprove that claim. So what’s the point in typing to people who only want to be right and not righteous.
"You can't doing something forever...You can doing something else..." -- Bob Dylan That's so cool. That's called maturity/wisdom and insight. I have a completely different view of him now than I ever have, and I'm so glad that I have seen this. It has taught me, once again, that you (I) should never judge.
Been listening regularly to Dylan since i was 11 (now 55) and still love his music (and his humbleness).
Amazed how grounded he was.
“The Press, The Media are the judge. They aren’t the Judge that’s God.” Bob Dylan
Agree ... Dylan is certainly one of the best ever. A very rare talent and human being.
"They're irrelevant."

Ed Bradley was well respected musician in his own right. The perfect choice to conduct this interview. He was always my favourite of the bunch. Always out-cooled every celebrity he interviewed. He was lost to soon. 🙏
I didn't know that he was a musician. Thanks for the comment.
I agree. Harry Reasoner's Miles Davis interview was embarrassing insofar as Reasoner was not knowledgeable about Davis' music and couldn't wait to ask him about racial issues, as if Davis' racial friction was somehow in a vacuum. Bradley would have been a better choice.
I was working at a place in '88 at the DNC. INSANE. Everybody was there. The only person who got my attention was EB. He had his own zone. So cool. RIP
Ed’s one of my favorite journalists of all time, if I ever knew he was a musician I forgot LOL, thanks for the comment
@@coreyzimmerman9782 Is Bob Dylan your relative?
I'm so thankful for his music and life and destiny I just received his book, No 1 , Chronicles from my niece in NY, it's a beautiful story
"Visions of Johanna" is such a beautiful song.
garcia did a lovely version Philly spectrum 1995
Bob Dylan could have written a million great songs. He put so much pressure on himself, that is what makes himself great. I love his music.
Bob means more and more to me as I get older. A "treasure" falls way short.

Yes, you can tell he was at ease with Ed Bradley, and there was a level of respect, both ways. Bob didn't think of making silly jokes as with the mainstream media, who were out to get the best quote or whatever they wanted. Ed Bradley just wanted to know who was Bob Dylan. Not sure if he succeeded.
Not in 15 minutes!
I know a lady who knows Dylan quite well. She told me the one thing you never see in these interviews is that he is funny as hell. He lets it crack a few in the Scorsese docs, but that’s it.
Many of Bobs songs are timeless. We all move through phases of life . Often from ideal’s in our youth to dismay at life’s sometimes tragic turns. Bob has captured what we could not say and helped us find a path that disappeared beneath our feet.
Powerful description of Bob's contribution and legacy

Dylan is absolutely correct when he speaks of the creative inspiration coming from a higher place. Truly authentic, transcendent art is created more through channeling than deliberate crafting.
I think its both
Yeah like Prince of the power of the air. We all dance for a puppeteer but we get to choose which one. Wish they didn't edit the interview. Started getting interesting at the end.
He had 3 gospel albums around 1980.

@NUN YA you're gonna have to serve somebody, well it may be the devil or it may be the Lord but you're gonna have to serve somebody -Bob Dylan
He NEVER said it was from a 'HIGHER' place! He said it was from the "High Commander" which means SATAN!
Fallen World: Amen!
I could listen to BOB DYLAN talk all day no matter what he talks about as we as performing.
I watch him today...when you occasionally hear or see him...and words fail me. He just IS Bob Dylan...thanks Bob, your words over my lifetime are still relevant....I'm 68..got 5 more years on the road than you, but never travelled as many miles...some days...it has been a hard road..now, time to sit and view it....the good, bad and the ugly, time now for one more cuppa coffee...
life long. Or, tea.
I heard Bob sing Amazing Grace (2004?) Pensacola Fl. I have never forgotten how rich he sang it. Thank you Bob, please record it.
He said recently he would like 2 cover gospel songs the Blackwood brothers for example. Oh hope he does would suit him very well now
There's something about Bob..🤔 He is so humble.. I just want to hug him.🤗..he looks like he wants to be loved and understood, yet left in peace... Such an accomplished man, yet seems so shy of fame after all these years..
I'm 58 and have just started listening to his records I have purchased over past 12 months...I'm enjoying what people have listened to and loved for years... I feel I'm just getting to know him...
Better late than never 🙏
Bob has a fan in me 🎼
Wow your lucky 2 have come 2 bob so.late, u have a very rewarding journey ahead of u !!
I am discovering him recently at 35 years old,absolute legend,icon,master of musical poetry.
500 songs.. 40 albums...
I've been trying to make one album in 50 years..
If I wore a hat i would tap it to him..
Genius lyricist
Bob speaks like he writes. Ambiguity filled basic truths for you to find and interpret. His use of our language is stunning. Recommended: Listen to his Nobel acceptance speech.
He's a Gemini and it's what we do best.
Imagine Michelangelo being asked to paint the Sistine Chapel every night, or Van Gogh asked to paint "Starry Night" every night...that's what musicians are asked to do every night on tour; "repaint" their masterpieces...act like trained seals. No wonder Dylan had such an attitude with the press and the public. The fact he's survived 60 years in the music business in the face of such scrutiny is testament to his work ethic.
Thats a new way of looking at things. Imagine Mick Jagger singing Can't get no satisfaction. Boring doesn't come close.
...price of fame I guess.
Stop it. HE Sucks
painting is a much different art form though. it take YEARS to create masterpeices. dillon himself said it takes 5 minutes. not the same at all
He's been on the never ending tour since 1988. If he thought he was a "trained seal" he would've retired long ago.
You’re quoting Joni
I get Dylan, Many of us do. Nurture & nature your soul. You are a self made man answering that call within.. Great run Thank you to you and yours .
"answering that call within" . are you sure you are not a poet?
His Nobel Prize acceptance lecture was priceless. A real must-hear event.
Hello Andrew , how are you doing?
@@lilyderra650 Fantastic. Thank you for asking.
Are you a fan of Bob Dylan?
If so, are you aware that both Dylan and The Beatles’ inspiration (for becoming singer-song-writers) was Buddy Holly?
Dylan mentions Buddy in his amazing Nobel Prize lecture. He said that he had to travel over a hundred miles to see Buddy Holly perform. He also noted that Buddy’s commitment to writing original songs and just going out there and playing them motivated Bob to do the same.
It was pretty much the same with The Beatles. They saw Buddy tour Britannia and were blown away by pretty much the same things as Bobby Dylan was.
Nobel for,...??
I'm so glad I grew up in his era. He is singular in his genius and art. I'm convinced this world will never see the likes of the great creativity in the 60's and 70's. Thanks Bob. You've given us so much. ❤
I’m very grateful to have grown up experiencing the 60’s and 70’s. I wish my kids could understand how profound that time was and how much more aware we are than they will ever know.
@@hew195050 Thanks for your reply. When I saw a little of the Grammy awards the other night, I couldn't believe how in just a generation music went from the sublime to the ridiculous. There was such an abundance of creativity in our day. What happened 😕?

@@StartToContinue wee went from Dylan to To Lizzo for being fat
SAD.
He was so important to me in my youth, and continued to this day, and I am 71.
Same. I just turned 72.
So am I. Nice to find a kindred spirit.
Same and I’m 15 😂
Same. I grew up in that era. I saw him one time at a barn concert. Loved him then and still do after all these yrs.
I am also 71, and I feel fortunate to have been born at the right time and experienced this man and his songs and creativity. He will go down in history, I get to enjoy him now, and throughout my life.
What a modest and gifted man. He wasn't destined for an easy life however he has been steadfast nonetheless. No frills, no pretense, just himself. A great example of just keeping a practical philosophy.
Yes it was.. Well am Bob and you ?
I am so happy that I was alive at the same time of Dylan, Garcia and others. I got to see both many many times! What a great time to be alive
Hello there , how are you doing?
As the shirt says, I may be old but I got to see all the great bands (and Dylan)
I love this interview! Bob Dylan says it sometimes we're given the wrong name by our parents that happens! I believe that. And I love how he describes his feelings about his destiny! I feel super inspired! Thank you, Mr. Bob Dylan. 💕🥰

He has lived an awesome ,overwhelming life.He seems grounded.Amazing that he survived it!
Aside from divorce, from the little information he or his children divulge he’s been a good father, even though he’s on a forever tour. All the Traveling Wilburys have said that scheduling around Bob’s availability was their only challenge until Roy Orbison died. Wow, my generations music has really been blessed.
Survives and THRIVES. That's double amazing.
How do you know? He even clearly implicated that he is not proud of himself nor able to sing some of them once again. Because those songs were not his own but done with magical/satanic influence.
@@lake3176 Satanic??Please.. he never mentioned satan only God! Sorry about that!
Dylan replied “ain’t that somethin’.” ,:-0
"What do you know about organic farming?" Dylan: (Straight-faced)"Nothing, not a thing". LOL. Classic.
Must have been so annoying for a private man like him to have these people come to his house to talk to him about organic farming
I didn't take that, too, literally; I think he meant it more metaphorically, as in trying to describe the nonsensical nature of people showing up at his doorstep to just get-in a couple of words with someone of relevance. 🤔
@@SuperAmin1950 that actually happened. I heard him talking about that a few times. No metaphor there, with that case at least.
the part about his "bargain" with the "chief commander" of this world and otherwise has stuck with me for a very long time. not a surprise, just interesting to hear bob Dylan say as much
It seems he's worried about something. He sure didn't seem to be happy with life which is odd for a man with so much success, notoriety and money. I don't believe that you can bargain with God but I'm sure you can bargain with Satan. Whoever he bargained with, he referred to him as The Chief Commander of this world and another world that you can't see. I guess he meant Hell because Satan's not going to be a Commander in the House of God. Man, I would have pressed him on what he meant and tried to get some information on exactly what he meant and who he was referring to and how did he arrange a meeting with this Chief Commander. Opportunity lost. It seemed like he wanted to get this off his chest. He sure didn't look very interested in the other questions.
Satan is the god of this world, the prince of the power of the air! It is true as Bob wrote, "you're gonna have to serve somebody, it may be the devil or it may be the Lord, but you're gonna have to serve somebody! Who is you serving?
In this entire interview, the only comment or line of questioning that Ed Bradley said that made Bob Dylan smile, smirk, or laugh was at the very end when Ed asked, "Should I ask who you made the bargain with?", "On this earth?". Dylan could only chuckle as he responded with very sinister answers. It was a type of laugh or chuckle that I've rarely ever heard before, the type of laugh only a man that knew he was doomed could make.
Doomed? He made a bargain with God.
@Weber 562 I loved him for many yrs, seen him 20 times including last Thanksgiving but I agree with you, his pact was not with our Supreme Creator, it was the type of cabal arrangement if think Bout it. Sad, he is so talented but you hit the Nail On The Head. It was nice Bradley got that interview- after all, he was dying of cancer himself within weeks of it.
@@Smorgasbord. The wrong God.

I watched this interview when it first aired in 2004 and I have mentioned it to people countless times over the years ... I have searched many times for this video ... Thank you for posting.
Thanks for coming by the channel!
That last bit at the end always gives me chills... how he stutters and stammers nervously to answer that final question.
When asked about how he relaxes, Dylan said: "I’m a religious person. I read the scriptures a lot, meditate and pray, light candles in church."
I believe in damnation and salvation, as well as predestination. The Five Books of Moses, Pauline Epistles, Invocation of the Saints, all of it."
Later in the interview, when asked about what style of music was his first love, he said: "Sacred music, church music, ensemble singing."
-Dylan, Wall Street Journal December 20, 2022
You know friend, I've seen this interview about 20 times over the years & never really noticed that. I've always thought it was a great interview, but his reaction to the question makes it even better to me now. That reaction is pure honesty. Thanks.
He sold his soul to the devil and he's trying to save his soul in his later years.
You can't sell your soul to the devil because he has no rights over you but the devil would like you to think that.
God created you and he owns your soul.
@@capecodder04 God IS your soul. Atman is Brahman. Like drops in the ocean.
@@iamhudsdent2759 That's pantheism. God created you and wants to fellowship with you and to be one with you as a husband and a wife are one flesh. Bible teaches that, Sola Scriptura.
I’ve heard it often said over the years they broke the mold when Bob Dylan was made.I’ve always beg to differ, there was never a mold ❤️
That's perfect!
He sold his soul, didnt you hear him?
Bob has a wry sense of humor and uses satire in a unique way. Those creative juices flow when you're young and you just can't do the same thing as you get older. Sometimes the words seem to roll off your tongue and you play with words. But you can progress and move on to other things. He's probably been asked more questions than about anybody. One of my favorites by him in addition to all his early stuff when he went looking for Woodie Guthrie, is "Million Miles" which you may not have heard. 500 songs? I think the Beatles did about 400 and the duo of Jagger/Richards about 350. If you haven't heard it you should listen to "Tom Thumb's Blues."
There is s magnificent version from London 2003 of million miles

And yet you missed the part where he says he made a deal with the devil...
Chronicles, Volume 1 is the greatest book I've ever read written by or about anyone in the entertainment field. No ghostwriters, possibly just cleaned up somewhat by editors. Amazing way with words. It's even better as an Audiobook with Sean Penn doing the reading. I suppose we'll never get a Volume 2. Heckuva shame.
Well, he was prophetic in that in the new Rolling Stone list, Like A Rolling Stone isn't number 1 anymore. Dylan's whole entire way of being just cuts through the bs with an economy of words that gets to the point.
Those Hipster Rolling Stone 'lists" of the top 500 or whatever is always going to change. Hoagey Carmichael was around #388 20 years ago.now he;s replaced by Busta Ryhmes. The list will always change. Bob Knows fame is fleeting.
My take on the Rolling Stone's second top 500 Song List was that the differint order and new songs weren't better. . .but that since it would be controversial to do another list with a different order, etc it would simply sell more magazines. Of course its all subjective but the first list has more of the ring of truth to it. Again, my opinion.
Mr Dylan thanks for the great interview you're humble your witty! And you tell it to us straight! Just like your music!
Shelter from the Storm is my number one favorite.
One of them!
My mom went to Hibbing High School with him… my grandfather helped build the school and gorgeous auditorium where he started. Hibbing is an incredible little town. What a brilliant man…. DYLAN allll day.
If you pick up the most recent Time magazine special edition on Dylan, high school photos, you'll see a "Stephen LeDoux" on that yearbook page. That's Scottie LeDoux's (legendary MN. heavyweight boxer) uncle. Fascinating.

@@lake3176 Is your name Lake? My grand daughters name is Lake, she is 8 years old. Dylan energized us with his freestyle, his words, and his less than perfect voice. Often people do not recognize that they are hemmed in or confined, until an energy of a different sort arrives. We do not actually understand the totality of what music does to us, as individuals, or as a group. But the heart recognizes when it is shifting inner direction .Sometimes the robins song is enough to change the outlook I have on a given day, for which I am gladdened. I probably did not do your question justice, but I have made an attempt to honor your worthy question. May the sun shine for you today.
@@marjoriegoodwin2993 Have you ever heard what he said? "Long time ago I bargained with chief of command....". What does that mean to you? Whom you think "chief of command"? a tree? a dog? What do you think the bargain had been?
@@lake3176 What song is that of which you speak? Perhaps I could listen to it. Sometimes, when folks pray, it is a bit like a bargain. For instance `Please God let me be successful and I promise to build a children`s hospital`. In my own personal life the chief of command would always be The First Source and Center of the Universe, so I would answer your question on my own personal experience. When Jesus spoke, he spoke in parables, which allowed each man to take from his speech, that which found a reception in his own heart. What people take away from anything, tells more about the receiver than the giver. Or more about the listener, than the speaker. There are people on this planet who pick up from the vast undiscovered knowledge which floats through and around our earth. We often call them poets, writers, bards, or singers. Essentially they have the wonderful gift of catching, (almost as if they have a butterfly net) verses, or information. Poets write poems. Musicians set those gifts to music. Am I dragging you way off of your path? Sorry if so. I am not a concrete thinker, so I drift from one thing to another, but I do realize that many find it impossible to follow me. My apologies.
Sorry if this is rude to ask but is your generation a part of the 60s? Were you involved in the folk scene when Dylan came around :) I’m very interested in stories from those times, I wish I could meet older people who had stories that explain the spark of the scene during that time
I hear him. Creativity is ephemeral. May he be more grounded and at peace. Bless him. Our culture threatens ego and self. Commercialaztion sucks. Bless him for trying. We are not products. I was blessed to be at the first Rolling Thunder. The urge is huge from the Chief. 💙
You really get the feeling he’s an honest, talented guy. But I’ve never had the feeling he’s truly happy.
Not the stereotyped happy
May I comment here? Just something for you to ponder. It is possible that happiness does not actually exist. Just moments of joy. Extended joy, limited joy. Quiet joy, elated joy. I do not expect you to agree, I am only asking that you ponder this. It requires fishing around in your own individual soul to identify your own truth. Thanks for thinking about this.
Who is?
@@marjoriegoodwin2993 happiness and joy are the same thing. Nobody is happy forever. We all oscillate between suffering and joy and the lucky ones tip the scale more heavily and more often toward joy, the unlucky toward suffering.
@@joshchapman4753 Thank you for your opinion Josh. It is wonderful that we reside in a place where we speak our truth. Have a fun filled weekend.
