Bob Dylan: San Francisco Press Conference (Dec. 1965) 4/6

This great one hour press conference isn't on KZbin in its full length so I figured I'd share to fellow Dylanites.

[@elimarie1696]

It always amazes me how someone so young, could be so intelligent. It's always a breath of fresh air to watch any Dylan interview. It's a shame about most of the questions, but the responses are great :)

[@muirwoods3829]

agree, love his interviews

[@joshuaWEC]

Allen Ginsberg gave the only really good question. He was probably the only person there that really cared about Dylan.

[@isaacruthen9313]

Jim Gindele He's at about 3:57

[@danettecute]

I have watched this video many times and I think some of those reporters were real admirers of Dylan--that it why I like watching this.

[@danielcropp8553]

Thank you. Very considerate.

[@DougieFresh13]

"When I say house, you hear house, yet we both are seeing different house's. " That was a brilliant way to explore spin.

[@nikkiejanee1972]

8 dislikes? Why?? Were they expecting a Justin Bieber interview instead? I would give Dylan a million thumbs up. Love4Dylan

[@danettecute]

I love this part of the conference. Dylan's answers and reporters questions are so diversified and bring me back to that time of my generation. He was and is so light-hearted and helped his generation cope with the establishment.

[@xswivelx11]

Now we'll never know a rhyme for orange. Darn it.

[@bigbl4ckbird]

xswivelx11 lynch, gringe, grunch. You're welcome :P

[@farflownfalcon1076]

+KrautMasker erm, only one of those words rhymes with orange.

[@ElstonsGun]

+xswivelx11 door hinge

[@timwilbur4387]

+xswivelx11 Eminem solved that problem already, look it up.

[@Zephead10]

storage

[@johnmiller2132]

I think he meant being stoned when he spoke of the "certain type of mood" for songwriting. I saw that cheeky smirk Bob

[@mdaczewitz]

+John Miller and when asked if he writes on inspiration, he says something like "i write on a lot of things"

[@dang5341]

I have a different idea of all the words we are using...brilliant.

[@nikkiejanee1972]

i like how you appreciate that quality too....that's what makes him beyond special....it's not just the music......there's something else beyond the music....you can see it everytime he talks

[@romans52345-cy3tq]

Reporter: Mr Dylan what were your thoughts when you met The Beatles? Bob: SSSEEEUUSSSHEYYYYOUUUUHEWWWWWWSLABBBBINHEYHEYHEYHOOOOOO Reporter: Interesting, Mr Dylan do you think today's music and it's influence on the young people in comparison to the Music of Yesterday? Bob: WHAAAAAAAAAAYUUUOPLAYYYYYYYOUMYYYYHEWWWWW Reporter: Have you ever taken LSD? Bob: YEAHHH HEEEE HEEE HOOOOOOOOOO TIMES THEY ARE A CHANGING HEEEEUUUUWWW All that being said Bob Dylan is a Fucking Genius... Bob:

[@danettecute]

Since Dylan is a home grown philosopher, it would be wonderful if he had his own talk show. Americans of all ages would appreciate hearing from a legend on his opinions about everything. I would certainly tune in to hear him.

[@SHALAt22]

Who has this much gutsy confidence in their 20's?

[@cody7378]

R u kidding me most entertainers r at their best when they r young

[@russellcampbell9198]

He wrote and performed the songs - exactly. I never expected any more from him.

[@lissonicarla]

Incredibile...!!! Grandioso !fantastic . Carismatico , ironic ... Bob ! , disarmante...Hahaha .. ...che grande Sei !!! adorabile Bob Dylan!. Love genio ..❤️❤️❤️

[@harrycory7661]

Bob Dylan is being held hostage by his generation.

[@joshuaWEC]

I never truly realized before watching this interview how ahead of his time Dylan really was. He might even be ahead of this present time.

[@where7847]

he said he never lies then his pants almost catch fire

[@fidelpetroupoli]

Yeah man! Tell it like it is 47 years later.

[@sfgiantpoet]

holy cow he smiles... my gosh...

[@danettecute]

Love this interview----true to the times and Dylan's answers honest and sincere.

[@jem.183m.6]

Bob Dylan is a true visionary and intellectually a millennium years ahead of our time. Bob's response to every inane question is spoken word poetry.

[@maybeimjustadreamer7]

8:05 "Well, what can I say? You must know more about the music than I do.... How long have you been playing it?" Love that part. xD

[@lindab30]

Bob was so so cool! Listen to him, see his devilish smile, He says what he thinks at the time!!!! Love his antagonistic questions Don't ever forget one of they few that opened the door!!! Freedom of speech!!!!

[@michealcurrie8272]

Loved controversy...lived for it. Against the norm.

[@10123wow]

these people are fucking badgering him for every little thing he does. bob dylan was being quite and evasive before not out of arrogance..he clearly just felt as though he was in a really awkward situation, and is also not the type of person to bother with artificial formalities.

[@patriciathewisher2315]

Used to have a friend Lucia when I was 10 and she called house housch. Drove me mad.

[@synysterjazmyngates]

Lovely and beautiful man.

[@326cher]

Ed Sullivan show censored John Birch Society Blues. This answer is about a century late.

[@arru23]

how i wish i could hear that "mess around" with the beatles

[@rlfstr]

Check out Theme Time Radio Hour.

[@GregoryWonderwheel]

Dylan was really a home grown philosopher and not a simple thinker putting it in boxes.

[@TheJonSadler1]

Anybody notice the rhymes at 8:32? I know what they all are all about There's nothing hard to figure out For me I wouldn't write anything I can't really see

[@kibbles1962]

to kennyg - Yes, he knew it was ginsberg at 4:00. That's why he was pissed and told him he would tell him later. "I thought you were a friend!" "I wouldn't do that to you!" Ginsberg was trying to tear his mask off. (get a genuine response.)

[@bluesborn]

Q."What are you thinking about right now?" A."I'm thinking if I hear one more stupid question I'm going to leap out the window."

[@juicyi3ig]

He's an enigma.. it's very interesting but at same time feels like nothing is answered. Could someone from this era please describe his effect on this period in time? Thanks

[@FuchsiaFire444]

he appears to be an enigma because he is of a generation that thought differently from the establishment. He's not an enigma when you realize he's commenting on people beliefs and events that are out of alignment. He knew there was nothing mysterious about his lyrics and had a hard time dealing with people who liked being lost

[@chgosatrap]

He is a social justice musician of the 60s (my era). The folk singers of that time were bringing the civil rights' message through their songs. Back then, it was civil rights. Today, it is Black Lives Matter. He also didn't like bullshit. You weren't going to put him in a box.

[@maxattack5772]

Yet one big reason why he broke up with Joan Baez was because she tried to mold him into social protesting.

[@mschloejean]

"Oh, well you must know more about music than I do...How long have YOU been playing it?" :)

[@gwenmeneilly2585]

fine talk from a young and upcoming young talent. of the time .x

[@kibbles1962]

sorry, I was referring to another interview (i thing) where ginsberg asked him "what is the craziest thing you have ever done?"

[@nikkiejanee1972]

very good description.....dylan is charisma on steroids

[@nevermindmyprocess]

Why does the guy at 4:56 look exactly like Harry Styles? How frickin' creepy.

[@heathermcdowellmusic]

Mikaela Chantelle TRUTH

[@patriciathewisher2315]

Even if he didn't know any of Clancy bris songs he couldn't have sung it like them....

[@rogerrrubin]

They used to hang out together in SF

[@rlfstr]

It is him.

[@rlfstr]

@skeletonkey6 Yes.

[@MrJeremyGm]

Ginsberg was in the audience and asked a question Awesome

[@michaelleigh]

Orange is one of the words there is no rhyme for.

[@rogerrrubin]

bobby knew.......most did not nor do not now

[@davarph]

Bill Graham from the Fillmore fame is there too.

[@emanayayas]

Allen Ginsberg, whaaaaaaaaa?! Was not expecting that!

[@danettecute]

Thanks. Good to know that he had a talk show on the radio back in 2009. Anything current?

[@nikkiejanee1972]

badass cool combined with the cute little kid smile.....priceless

[@mrfester42]

Yeah, but actually he's just been sitting their with all the others not saying anything until he asks that question although at the beginning they show him sitting there for a few seconds when Dylan's answering the question about his favorite poets.

[@mmazio262]

"because I got nothing else to do, man."

[@joshnoidea1496]

I wander if you'll ever get that rhyme for orange.

[@coltairesings]

Whoa - is that Allen Ginsberg @ 3:58?

[@colterheirigs4431]

***** lol, well played. David Cross does play Ginsberg in "I Am Not Here" though...

[@Leowalrus]

That's what I thought! Ha ha

[@mdaczewitz]

+coltairesings It is ginsberg. dylan says he "asked you here as a friend" when ginsberg was asking needling questions. then ginsberg feels bad and asks the clarifying question about devious reporters and false interview write-ups. redeemed.

[@matthewrider217]

Colter, I think you mean "I'm Not There." Not trying to be an ass. Js...

[@TheWoud]

A constitutional replay of mass production... brilliant! What did Bob said to the guy with the hat and sunglasses when he asked the question about different images?

[@JTam2222]

....hes so amazing

[@danilo664266]

poor bob, this is torture for me to watch much more for him to endure, its like they dont even apprreciate him, or they make him to be someone he doesnt want to be. relax people, i know the times were changing but bob is just a man. hes not the answer hes a song and dance man. just let him entertain. too much pressure.

[@MrJeremyGm]

I think its Alan Ginsberg in the audience at 4.00 minutes I could be wrong though

[@brandeis71]

It looks like Harry Styles' grandfather at 4:55.

[@DestroyerOfworlds47]

"I don't have any hopes for the future and I just hope to have enough boots to change them." made no sence..

[@patriciathewisher2315]

The songs is what I do too. Just other ppl's.

[@kevincribby6256]

Wittgenstein would be proud.

[@brendawright6373]

Smart , I love it.

[@nikkiejanee1972]

ooh man he's sooooooo cute!

[@Psyfi85]

Or door hinge even though its two words.

[@RISKILNIKIV]

Hi... I'm trying to see "Renaldo and Clara"? Do u know where I could find it?

[@123987username]

5:17 its the guy from the blues brothers

[@tallilaholzel4677]

Du hast ja offenbar auch geraucht wie ein Schlot! Genau wie ich! Aber GOTT war uns gnädig.

[@mmazio262]

oh sure, makes sense.

[@rlfstr]

Doesn't "storage" fit?

[@michaelleigh]

I suppose that could work...close enough!

[@Manu2Banjo]

Sure, there is a whole range.

[@An-Éire]

min 5.08 wtf up with those jam jarr glasses massive yoaks

[@Flippaarn]

yeah that's true, thank you :-)

[@Oallright]

@kennyg03 He did.

[@ivyssauro123]

"its not about the words, its about the interpretations. if i say the word 'house' you would think of another house, a different house" tell me its not genius.

[@TheMina31]

Why the shades inside the studio??? LMAO

[@patriciathewisher2315]

He's so pretty

[@bwaters735]

How this guy alive after smoking for 60 plus years?

[@Zv5Q8]

Michael McLure at 3:19.

[@domepiece79]

michael mcclure i see you. 3:18

[@mmazio262]

they were friends, of course he knows.

[@NicolasCurcioWriter]

They were friends at the time, right? I wonder why he didn't acknowledge him.

[@skeletonkey6]

Who's the bearded guy asking the question at 4:00, is it Allen Ginsberg?

[@FuzzyCabesas]

Wait, didn't Dylan use to play Clancy Brothers songs?

[@areyouthewalrus04]

Love(:

[@GirlGeorgeTVshow]

Thats Larry Hankin of the S.F.Committee..at 2:36 in a Hat..

[@elvanvilla]

possibly close but no cigar

[@Fodvorte]

mortgage would work as well.

[@joeklose1994]

when was this interview?

[@patriciathewisher2315]

Heart 💗 shaped face

[@astridmonteleon8953]

No, that is just plain obvious. It is therefore common sense. But he is a genius anyway.

[@rlfstr]

@JesterGuy90 Keep a good head and always carry a light bulb!

[@Flippaarn]

when? Can't see/her him :-)

[@BuddyBoo123]

Ralph J Gleason

[@tyrannized]

what was it with all those men in sun glasses? the look ridiculous

[@SiriosIX]

Orange rhymes with orange.

[@andrewkim7700]

u act like hes really being tortured. theres people having a good time in the background just from him giving an interview. this should actually be a good thing fr you. and there asking him questions, that means ther interested in him. he probably jus feels tired from doin all the work in music that he does.

[@polokaka1234567890]

is*

[@TheLegendOfCourage]

who's Allen Ginsberg?
