What I love about Bob Dylan is he never took any shit from anyone . He was never rude , he was always honest and refused to be put into any pigeon hole . A true original thinker of the likes we will never see again
Uh.. not so fast.. he's a borrower.. like everyone else.. Joni Mitchell wud probably disagree.. Dylan once fell asleep to her new LP during a party.. she never forgave him.. and he does borrow.. it matters not. Majestic.. he is..
So consistent in his interviews. One of the greatest songwriters of our time, he interviewed the same way at age 25 as he does now. Hands down my favorite musician, what an amazing mind to write those songs at such a young age.
Couldn't have said it better myself! His awareness of the media and not allowing himself to be put in any box in order to maintain his own artistic integrity is so impressive for someone of that age.
This is actually incredibly hard to do. The emotional intelligence and thought that goes into these answers is phenomenal. Answering one after the other takes great amounts of flexibility and stamina. In order words the intellegence behind these answers is wonderful to hear and see. It's like listening to a sociology professor teaching a group of media professionals.
The motorcycle guy always creeped the hell out of me, the way he licked his lips and got crazy eyes after saying, "I've thought about it a great deal." lol
Bob was way ahead of the game even in those days, he could run rings are those interviewers much more than he did, God bless you Bob for the man you were and are still to this day , You have produced the greatest works which will be talked about, and played in 500 years time, he will be rightly placed along side the greatest artists of all time
This black Detroit 60's chick can't wait to see my handsome curly haired boy timmothee chalamet play my handsome curly haired man Bob Dylan in a complete unknown. His music and writing is iconic and l have and will always love Dylan and his songs.
The man just wanted to make some bank and pay his bills doing what he enjoyed. That he was a genius in his craft just so happened. All the fame and hullabaloo was a consequence that didn't matter to him.
Just because he does want every to know everything about his life good on him he doesn't court publicly either he is not in your face bragging about what he.s got and where he.s been
@@gertstronkhorst2343 Actually, I’m from Manchester, England. Meanings of words do change and evolve. Whether you like it or not Dylan is an icon because his longevity in music and because of iconic moments like these

Agree with all of that!

Bob being so innocent and real in this Amazing interview absolutely Brilliant and showing a Wonderful Young Man ❤❤❤❤❤
This guy is neither innocent or honest....but very very charming
Bob is the complete opposite to innocent and honest. Sooo charming and sharp, but very calculated.
The motorcycle guy always creeped the hell out of me, the way he licked his lips and got crazy eyes after saying, "I've thought about it a great deal." lol
100%, I wonder if he was a journalist or just some random guy...

I wonder if we sent his songs to the moon in time capsule.

What a legend, never took shit from the medias bullshit questions
Coolest rocker ever
Articulate in conversation as he is in his songs and his literature.😊
I think the exact opposite. He’s a door knob in personal conversation but the best songwriter ever to walk the planet
9:50 kills me
(completely) One of a Kind
The Dylan Sutras
(in memorium: David McFedrin & Scarlett McKeachern)
I
last night i came across Bob Dylan, in the alley
playing poker with mah-jongg tiles
and a cellar of kosher salt, and he explained
how to cure meat, and all the sins of man
with just a song, and where to find the forgotten
Rites of Spring;
and as the light
beneath the East River emerged into morning
the children sang,
of Truth and the times before Man’s cruelty
had made the Earth fallow and
unproductive.
II
this morning in the River’s light
i saw and heard Bob Dylan screaming & stalking
out of the alley, throwing a fit and the stolen mah-jongg tiles
back at his childhood friends, sitting drunk
on stolen wine and the follies of youth.
he swore he was fed-up with humanity
and its heinous addiction to death and war,
and power; he snapped every pencil on Earth, broke
every lying instrument of musical denial,
and skulked-away, muttering about the Failure
of God and All Light.
III
i found Bob Dylan sitting at a card table
munching salted mah-jongg tiles, mushrooms and bitter
(Russian folk songs and) fruits; he wept, right there, for hope
lessness, and lectured on the curing of meats, and
the recurring itch of war,
and of the need for love, and then, of the pain of living.
i left him there in the rotting stench
of uneaten garbage and the Fall of Man;
and i went looking for the bus to daylight,
the Lost Tablets of (all-Powerful) Stones,
and the last day, when all guns were memories,
and when school teachers taught First Aid, and
common decency.
IV
i am Bob Dylan and my centuries’ old bones
can no longer hold the shape of man
erect or a stringed instrument of any kind;
“i cannot write”, i said, “one more song
to tell of a past full of Sunday morning light,
or warn of the poison pellets (once more) flooding Our
waters”.
“i will not even try, ever-again, to save
this planet from the cancer of Man,
will not give hope to one more generation
or new-born child; No, i will never again sing
of a dove in the sand, or a Man
of peace, or love.”
V
when i got to heaven, God
was Bob Dylan, with (just about) Everything blowin
around in the Celestial Wind (which is, in fact) what we call
Time; every mah-jongg tile ever carved, or struck is
on the wall behind Him, in their Absolute order, and Every
soul, of Man has been cured; and each and Every moment was filled
with music, echoing, “...you’ve gotta Serve Somebody...”
the demented smile on His (not)face belonged
in an interview, in an airport, in SanFran, in the sixties,
and i, was, paralyzed as Every single fact fit into perfect
place and the Son smiled as well, seeing deep in my eyes
the same startled (incredulous, suspicious, but no-longer-stuck-
in 3D dichotomies) light of revelation that every soul
before me had worn; able to see, finally, the Whole Picture.
and we sang of peace and glory, of love and complex Simplicity,
we sang the final song of Life.

Second great artist this month I'm calling out as ticking all the dsm psychopath boxes.
Labelling people with mental illnesses is also a mental illness. Be careful with that stuff.
Bob is so Sassy
100% accurate :D
Christ...he got through plenty of chuffers (cigs)
20:06 WHAT DOES HE SAY??
The interviewer asks "What makes you laugh then?"
And Dylan replies "Something funny"
@ shoulda guessed haha thanks
The man just wanted to make some bank and pay his bills doing what he enjoyed. That he was a genius in his craft just so happened. All the fame and hullabaloo was a consequence that didn't matter to him.
Sorry, Timothy Whatsisname... really? 🤣
Could this be the vocalist whose remarkable ability to sing is matched only by the media's overzealous enthusiasm?
Iconic - "of or pertaining to a portrait". He's not being iconic, he's being adolescent. To this day.
Just because he does want every to know everything about his life good on him he doesn't court publicly either he is not in your face bragging about what he.s got and where he.s been
You're judgemental but with no real judgments. Just a playground bully.
I’m sorry to disagree but he’s being iconic.
@@siouzsie Yeah, in the shallow stupid American misuse of the word, he is iconic, epic and legendary. Whatever.
