As a carpenter I did some structural repairs to on one of the original Byrdcliff houses , I drove past that home frequently , but I never meditated on the lawn.
Dylan wrote in his autobio about the hippies coming to this house, even climbing on his roof & generally giving his family no peace. I remember reading somewhere that a subsequent buyer claimed the house came with some furnishings, including a "big brass bed." I've no idea whether that was true. I believe it was when Dylan lived here that he also began taking art lessons from an artist who lived nearby. He's quite the accomplished visual artist now. I especially like his welded metal gates and his French Quarter paintings.
In Bob's autobiography Chronicles I, he said his wife (Sara) never understood him again after he began art lessons. (Either that or she couldn't understand why he thought having more than 1 woman should be acceptable, lol) He said it bothered him that men today have ONE wife while Holy men during Biblical times had multiple wives and/or concubines...😆 Oh Bob! It was a different time, different circumstances & culture Become a Mormon Zimmy, polygamy continues to be acceptable
Nice footage-I've driven around up there but I wasn't sure where Dylan lived exactly. Anyway, I think Bob made some of my favorite music of his while living in Woodstock: The Basement Tapes, John Wesley Harding, Nashville Skyline, and New Morning are all masterpieces and "easier" listens than some of his mid-60s work.
"If all the hippies, cut off all their hair, I don't care, I don't care, cuz I got my own world to look through, and I ain't gonna copy you" (Jimi Hendrix 1968) From the song "If Six was Nine"
Because hippies were liberal phonies peace and love yeah robbing and throwing trash while doing fuck all else but letting the players play while they hide
Technically Bob was one of the outstanding hippies of all time. He took his LSD, he saw the force, he wrote his consciousness expanding songs, he wore weird clothes, he is still a hippy. Why not, the hippy movement was stupendous, and like all stupendous things, it was destroyed by propaganda. "They're selling postcards of the hanging, they're painting the passports brown." Not a doubt this is a referral to the anti-tripping propaganda machine. By the 80's the lie was complete, and the movement was made into a comic farce that they called Maynard G. Krebbs, and there was no one left to hang. Or, so they thought. The hippy movement is stronger now than it was in the sixties. What do you think 'Mr. Tamborine Man was about? It described a trip before the passports were dipped in shit. But till this day, every man and his dog say 'cool' every second word, an unconscious token of respect to the hippies. The folk who hung around his house leering weren't hippies, they were groupies. A hippy is hip - which means 'I understand at last.', and 'be cool' meant 'Don't let the bastards get you down.' His conciousness exploded while the fish truck was loaded', so pertinent and so utterly true.
@@kenbellchambers4577 Interesting thesis but I disagree completely. Bob certainly had an affinity with the earlier Beatnik thing but by the time the hippies came along he was already moving off somewhere else. Of course, there are many aspects of his 60s music that the hippies found tied in with their world view but as for Dylan being a hippy? No way. From what he has said, he viewed the entire counter-cultural scene with great suspicion.
@@jeremystone6641 He may have moved on from the 'hippie thing' but that's not to say he wasn't one. He certainly did the things in the previous comment...actions often speak louder than words.

He played numerous instruments in a very unique style, having lost several fingers in a childhood mishap, & was said to be a magical character like nobody else around.
It´s all about money ... wtf?, everybody has to live somewhere, I think that house looked pretty ordinary, not like the mansion you could imagine Bill Gates living in. I´m sure Dylan has a bigger house today :)
Well I was hiking the mountains in Woodstock/ Bearsville area and met a local female hiker who directed me to this house which she said was his...and it was in an artist colony in the area so it did make sense
@@gabesen1451 Oh! Thank you!!! You have an interesting profile! 😍 I see you are very funny! Did you come Brazil? I would like to travel with you... if I was newer...😍
I don't believe he owned it, I'm sure I read somewhere he was a renter. That forest looks exactly the same as the photo on the back of Self Portrait (except it was a sunnier day on SP). Amazing. It
Thanks for the clarification. I actually met a local hiker in the area who led me to the house, but didnt say if he owned it. Guess my choice of words in that regard (owned or rented) was a bit confusing- lol
'... and Bob Dylan once urinated on this tree right here. We'd like to install a plaque on the spot but the Town Supervisor said that there's some stupid ordinance prohibiting that.

Depends on how u look at it---with fame comes the fans...ummmmm- I think I would put up with it for the tens of millions he made from them...he could of put up a fence with attack dogs
I actually can't tell you as I was hiking in the mountains of Woodstock, met a local woman hiker who told me how to get to his former home which happened to be quite close to where I was at that moment. After that I kinda got lost to where my car was, making lefts and rights....I finally finding my car....cool as it was getting dark by that time.
I bet the owners love the tourists coming over to "gawk". Hey..If you like I can tell you where Kieth Richards and Anita Pallenberg lived in South Salem NY. Just down the road from George C. Scott's house.
Well, it's truly in the middle of nowhere, so I doubt if anyone can find that place...took me years and I been going to Woodstock forever (i had a ski house in the area). While hiking the mountains nearby I met a female hiker who showed me....
Yes thank you for sharing. Think about how many souls bob Dylan has brought to Christ and you will see he deserves much more than this lovely home in the woods. My wish is that he finds the peace of Christ on Earth and is happy today.😎💐😘
Thanks for your comment, however Dylan is Jewish so not sure what u r saying. I do understand he found Yabushua (Jesus real name) for awhile, but I think he does not follow Him now

Fun fact: Don Fagen (from the band "Steely Dan") currently owns the house.

Don't see any of Dylan as easy listening in the conventional sense. He just is adept at so many different musical genres. A man of many voices.
"don't go mistaking paradise for that home across the road" Bob Dylan Thanks,I enjoyed the video 👍!!

Upstate NY is so beautiful ☮️

He was never a hippie. Never had or thereby faked the persona of a hippie. And, in fact, he like Kerouac had zero love for hippies.

Thanks for the tour. Why didn't Bob play Woodstock in Aug, '69 so nearby? Motorcycle accident?
Dylan was never a "Hippie".
I know Bobs house in Minnesota, he’ll walk over to the ball field to watch the baseball game going on. It’s no big deal for anybody. Bobs just cool.
