Bob will describe what he wrote. He still doesn't have a clue how he did it. Yet another classic television moment...

Will it be close-captioned for the mumbling-impaired? :-)

The retirement zone...

The greatly aged interviewing the very old about not much of anything.

[blackdog]

I found Bob(as presented) to be refreshingly truthful. He basically stated that he was creative and inspired by nothing he could pin down other than self described destiny, albeit a rather self absorbed limited one. He said he was never going to be that creative again.....(drug inspired creativity?)

He seemed to have a real visceral hate for Joe Sixpack's and their unfounded faith in his prose, which he claims was nothing more than good songs with no real insight. On this I agree, but why the need to riddicule his fans. He seems like a bit of a hypocrite.

I liked his explanation of the media and feel he's dead nuts on with it. Funny though how he'll use it when it lines his pockets.

Bob came off as a third rate George Harrison with few personal interests and far less talent. He seems like a passionless bitter old man who's never developed other interests and it's eating him.

So I guess Bob is right. He's got fans and wealth, reached his destiny, and done so because of stupid fans who misunderstand entertainment for activism.

I wish Ed had asked him about his Wilburry's year/s as well as aked him about his peers. It certainly was all about Bob wasn't it?

60-Minutes of Tripe

IF it appears on 60Minutes, it has a big fat lie in it. Proven fact.

Maybe Bob will bring back this classic,

LAST THOUGHTS ON WOODY GUTHRIE (Bob Dylan) (1963)

Good drugs back then.

I saw that interview 20 years ago. Even then he said, "I can't believe I still pull it off." The humility by itself is inspiring.

I didn't see this interview but I can't fault him for wishing his fans weren't misunderstanding him, or that they wouldn't just about worship him. He's a regular person, too, and this is the way he makes a living. The customers can get to you, sometimes.

Seeing Bob Dylan, the Animals, Kinks, Beetles, Yardbirds, etc is amazing.. they are children!!!!!

What Bob Dylan may have looked like as a young man.

"The only thing I knew how to do, was to keep on keepin' on, like a bird that flew." A man who didn't lose his decency, in a milieu where that's easy...

They both looked like sick chimps.
