Blasphemy!…
You had Bob Dylan here. How did that go?
Here’s what I love about Dylan: He was exactly as you’d expect he would be. He wouldn’t come to the rehearsal; usually, all these guys are practicing before the set in the evening. He didn’t want to take a picture with me; usually all the talent is dying to take a picture with me and Michelle before the show, but he didn’t show up to that. He came in and played “The Times They Are A-Changin’.” A beautiful rendition. The guy is so steeped in this stuff that he can just come up with some new arrangement, and the song sounds completely different. Finishes the song, steps off the stage — I’m sitting right in the front row — comes up, shakes my hand, sort of tips his head, gives me just a little grin, and then leaves. And that was it — then he left. That was our only interaction with him. And I thought: That’s how you want Bob Dylan, right? You don’t want him to be all cheesin’ and grinnin’ with you. You want him to be a little skeptical about the whole enterprise. So that was a real treat.
“Bob is more conservative than a lot of people suspect.”

In the late 1970s, Dylan became a born-again Christian and released two albums of Christian gospel music...
"He's the property of Jesus
Resent him to the bone
You got something better
You got a heart of stone"
Because he showed up

“I hope Chumley is smarter than he acts. He?s funny.”
I doubt it. Love the show though!!
Bob was also apparently not outraged a couple of years ago, when a young New Jersey cop failed to recognize him and rousted him as a "suspicious character" wandering around a neighborhood.

Found this that is mentioned upthread (All: we do not have TeeVee)
Dylan may recognize a phony, but he must be gazillionaire by now.
He’s one of the guys Obama’s going to tax.
Dylan’s a long way from, “I was hungry and it was your world.”
Having been a huge Dylan fan for over 30 years, familiar with his lyrics, I’d like to think that the Pres_ent should be happy that while Dylan accepted the gig, had the class to not flip him off to his face.
I don’t wanna work on ‘bama’s farm no more!
once one gets suckered into attempting to pick up a terd by the clean end....it leaves its mark on ya forever...
Kuehl.
I used to play that song a lot in my youth. Drove the dog crazy however...he couldn’t stand Dylan’s harmonica. Oddly enough, a co-worker and I were reciting lines from it the other day at work. I think the line about the agents and the superhuman crew rounding up everyone who knows more than they do is Dylan’s best.
Because their entire livelihood depends on him and he can fire any of them at the snap of a finger. That’s what it’s like working with the mega famous.

Here ya go.
Thanks for the correction. I was going by a radio blurp that I had heard saying that Dylan had endorsed The Usurper.
“Chumley for president!”
I predict the Gold & Silver Pawn Shop from Pawn Stars will have their taxes audited.
Hello MB! I’m happy to see you still gracing this joint!
I think that covers it
