Bob Dylan being Iconic in Interviews for 25 minutes!

[@lgpsan]

One thing the movie didn’t capture so much was Bob’s little smiles and jokes. And sometimes very sincere when they ask a question he likes

[@robertrozier2940]

Yes! Exactly. They should have showed more of that. He’s so damn funny

[@Dethmothcreations]

The movie made him seem overly serious and kind of an asshole the whole time, made you think "why would people like this guy?" when the real Dylan was charismatic, charming, funny

[@openone3183]

that's cause timothy a little fashion boy, it's partly a product of that generation experiencing their world through images

[@EvanMendo1]

There’s a lot of little moments that show that part of his personality. It’s more noticeable when seeing it twice. There’s the ‘east orange’ joke, for example.

[@NB-lx6gz]

I only saw the trailers to the movie since it's not released in my country but I randomly clicked this video and I was surprised to see how very charming Dylan was!! Light, and approachable

[@j.johnson2270]

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.

[@thefirewall3308]

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.

[@marmite2500]

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

[@thefirewall3308]

Agree with all of that!

[@GetAlongKidCharlemange33]

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..

[@jimmyjambon9206]

A great thinker indeed. However I believe Bob Dylan himself would rightfully disagree with your last sentence, "A true original thinker of the likes we will never see again."

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

[@thefirewall3308]

100%, I wonder if he was a journalist or just some random guy...

[@Lounge-lizard]

He looked like Charles Manson

[@michaelg6641]

Yea..and stood right there on stage taking constant pictures 3 ft. away...guess they didn't have security then

[@lindalinda0316]

Same - that brief flash of aggression on his face (and in his voice) makes my hair stand on end every time I watch this.

[@racoonlover3000]

that guy was suspected of being the zodiac killer at one point

[@MichaelJamesLorinVoiceovers]

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 other 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.

[@robertrozier2940]

Agreed. But for him it was just natural. Bc he’s a genius.

[@robertrozier2940]

Listen to what he says about words and how they conjure different images for different people. Beautiful

[@patriciafootejohnson2817]

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.

[@robertrozier2940]

He was so sweet, even when asked silly questions. What a soul …

[@SCI-FLI]

Bob was ahead of his time man, it feels like watching a time traveller go back to mess with ppl from the 60s the way he reacts to their dumb questions 😂

[@Begonee]

This is so spot on🤣🤣 his answers are too clever and the humor is so advanced

[@warrenbartlett6405]

I love Allen Ginsberg’s question because it allowed Bob to explain his situation better and he started to take more interest in the press conference. Also they were friends and it was a great question.

[@kingdomcitizenship5613]

Seems like everyone made more of his career and it's meaning then he did... and it's amazing how thoughtful these journalists' questions are. Far different then today's media

[@jamesbradshaw3389]

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

[@deboramccallum3987]

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

[@peterblack9180]

Bob if you ever read this"obviously not" thank you for your contributions to man kind, your music has helped me through the hardest times, im so glad you play your cards close to your chest with your lyrics,have you have inspired my whole thought & understaning of the world my true guru, So glad i get to keep my own interpretation of your music & stand uncorrected x connie

[@janetleatham9772]

Bob being so innocent and real in this Amazing interview absolutely Brilliant and showing a Wonderful Young Man ❤❤❤❤❤

[@hobdabob]

This guy is neither innocent or honest....but very very charming

[@hobdabob]

Bob is the complete opposite to innocent and honest. Sooo charming and sharp, but very calculated.

[@Silentkittey]

@@hobdabobReal facts! This comment is everything. Thank you

[@Imw101]

Bob created a character called “Bob Dylan” just like Bowie created “Ziggy Stardust”.

[@CarolynFigueroa-i8z]

Prince has hints of Dylan in the way Prince handled the press. Witty, light, smart. Dylan is brilliant. Prince is brilliant. Both very "aware" at a very young age.

[@savnerdeg]

Beatles & many others have similar humorous & evasive responses. Everyone is looking for some profound words of wisdom as if his songwriting & musician skills aren’t enough.

[@janicemoy4908]

I'm reminded of David Bowie, too. Very charming and funny while being evasive.

[@Gamma-Inc]

What a legend, never took shit from the medias bullshit questions

[@jcdova29]

Dylan was so cool without trying.

[@LettuceGod1]

I’ve got two thoughts on Dylan’s interactions with the media right now. 1: I think he means everything he says, about himself and about his music 2: especially when he was younger, I think he enjoyed subtlety fucking with the press because of all the dumb questions he got. Although I still think he meant everything he said. He wasn’t being sarcastic, he was being a smart ass I think

[@chrisandrus689]

(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. © Copyright 2022 christo (christo13 at Writing.Com).

"I'm busy tonight" lol I presume alluding to having sex instead of going to some protest lol such a truthful answer and funny

[@thefirewall3308]

I'm not sure he meant sex specifically. I always interpreted it as meaning he would be doing literally anything else instead of going to that protest.

And to the intervju here i think that if the journalists only could have preperaed themselves enouph by asking themselves first: "How would i have answered to this quistions i am about to ask?" Just that litle act would have changed a lot of things. Because some of them are hard for just about anyone to answer if you where put on the spot for many peoples attention.

I love Bob but he’s definitely a narcissist. I would say he’s probably neurodivergent in some way or another too. As someone who isn’t neurotypical I see a lot of myself in Dylan and how peculiar he acted sometimes when the spotlight was on him. He definitely did not deal with the pressure well and he had a short fuse when it came to people being stupid around him

The way he answers questions would make you think he wouldn't do interviews at all, which tells you he ate it up, loved being difficult to create a persona for attention, that probably now at the age of 83, he must feel pretty foolish.

[@modernmedeamedia]

Nah, I just think he was an intelligent man who wanted respect for his art and was willing to discuss it, but got annoyed at what seemed insipid or intrusive questions. He didn’t care about the celebrity aspect much.
