I had the good fortune to meet Mr. Dylan. He is a polite soft-spoken nice midwestern gentleman with good manners. It was at the backstage reception after the tribute to Roy Orbison. He did not have to stop to speak to me but he did. We are lucky to still have him with us at 82 yo!
Bob Dylan's music is so poetic that he raises our consciousness as a society. I discovered his transformative songs in the early sixties and I hope he continues to play and grow for many more years. His songs are classics and he continues to amaze. These songs will be well known by people a hundred or two hundred years from now. He is certainly the greatest poet of our times!
He's a Tin Pan Ally songwriter in the tradition of Irving Berlin, Richard Rogers, Cole Porter etc. If he were in NY he would have been ensconced in the Brill building pounding out hits for stage and screen.
Dylan’s music has kept me alive since I first heard blonde on blonde wafting from my older sisters bedroom in Dublin in 1970 and it shaped the rest of my life .......I play his music daily....!
My Dad a WW-2 veteran first new car was a 1962 Ford Wagon. Same color as Bobs too he was very proud of that car. Love Dylan's early stuff. We lived in Newport Rhode Island less than a 1/4 mile from the 1960's Folk Festival. We could hear Dylan and the other musicians from our backyard. Dad would say those GD Beatniks are slowing up car traffic. Wish I could go back in time!
I had a friend who called me up one day to say that she had purchased a new release album but thought it was horrible and wanted to offer it to me. I asked her to play some of it so I could decide. She played it and I loved it. She thought I was crazy. This was Dylan's first ever album. I flew over to her house to collect my prize gift before she could change her mind. Lol, later on, she had to buy herself another copy when it finally hit her and she became enlightened. 😁 I had an encounter with him some years later. It was in the Club 47 behind the coop. The place was fairly new due to a move from the old location up on Auburn. Anyway, it was a cold, snow and rain slushy kind of night. There was a bench by the door to handle any overflow from the occupied tables. Tom Rush was entertaining. I was seated on the bench with some others when someone in a pea coat and wearing sunglasses (who wears sunglasses at night?) came in and sat down on the bench to my right. After the show was over we all stood up. The overhead puck lights shone down through a cloud of curly hair and behind this person's sunglasses. I suddenly knew who he was. I said, "I'll let you be in my dreams if I can be in yours. I think you said that. You can stare at me if I can stare at you. I said that." He smiled, said nothing, and I headed for the storm outside.
That's quite a story to encounter Dylan in real life. He has appeared in a number of my dreams. In one, we were riding in an old southbound train. I somehow poured a nice tumbler of bourbon on ice and walked back a few seats to hand it to him as a sign of great respect. He was sitting there using scissors to cut out paper to make a small work of art: a kind of collage "bas relief" image of Christ on the cross. It was a superb piece of genius level art! Wow, what a dream.
Very cool, I met him when he was touring with Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Red Rocks 1980's, my daughters father and I were married, we were big fans of both, but Bob is Bob.. We both wept through his two sets, joy, sentiment, anyhow, found out way b4 where he was staying, the Burnsley in Denver, 1000 Broadway, reserved rooms so we could even enter the hotel, made reservations at the champagne bar and jazz room and right on cue he came in, we were still flush from the show, we had a curved booth, 4 of us, his booth and ours abutted each other, I had just gotten a longer time slot on kgnu radio in Boulder Colorado, I was playing bootlegs, couldn't say that then, anyways he did the pardon me I couldn't help but overhear your conversation line, asked to join us, so he and his road manager did, great talk and drinks and food, the 4 of us kids were really into music, food, art, wine, he was cool and genuinely interested, wasn't until we were wrapping up to toddle off to bed that mention of the show came up, we admitted we'd been there, he is about 20 years older than we are and thanked us for not fangeeking out, for being normal and treating him normally, cool cat
Mr.Phil Sooty do you have to use God's name in vain? People who do that is because they are not smart enough to think of a better word to get their point across..Dylan would not be impressed
I am 76 and English. I was blown away by Bob in the early 60s. The protest songs, voice of a generation, etc. But over times I came to realise Bob was not what he was made out to be By the media. He was actually a frustrated rock singer. His hero was Elvis, not Tom Paxton. Hence his switch to electric. He has gone along with all the s..t written about him as its to much trouble to try to put people right. Good on yer Bob, keep rocking.
The greatest man. I love his music. Lately i saw a few of his paintings. Wish i could be 1% of what he is. Id be happy. This man is an universal treasure.
@@createone100 - Well I really don't care how perfect he is as a person. I know only bob the artist. I hardly care for what he does in his free time. Remember nobody's perfect.
We need Lech Walesas, we need Martin Luther Kings, we need Mandelas, we don't need "ethical", yet greedy poets who don't put their money where their hypocritical, preaching mouths are. That era is over..Bye Bob, Bye Bono, Bye Lennon, Bye Bruce...we're looking through you..
Listen to "Things Have Changed".... great little dance tune... and everything on Modern Times CD..... Latest CD is THE BEST..... all songs.... the old songs were good... but he was just practicing for what came next..... he gave it to everyone free... on RUclips... Rough an Rowdy Ways..... Thank-you Bob.... and see his Shadow Kingdom videos..... made the old songs even better
I saw Bob Dylan last night June 25, 2022 Sacramento California I am a Dylan fan I get he’s on tour to promote his new album but would have been great to hear some of his great classics but none. I couldn’t even understand a word he said not to mention when he got up from the piano he had to grab the microphone stand to steady himself. But that’s Dylan and he’s still a legend.
some people say other artists sing Bobs songs better but they really dont get it so its their loss aka ( donkeys dont know the difference between grass snd parsley ) isalute you Bob my inspiration fot the last 60 years respect from Stavros Constantinou cardiff Wales
YOU GOTTA SERVE SOMEBODY I went to hear Dylan perform that in HOUSTON. I passed him in the aisle. Pink satin shirt, very small. I was proud of myself for not bothering him.
Bob Dylans Musik bzw. seine Stimme liebe ich seit ich 7 Jahre alt bin, das heisst seit 1975. Daran hat sich bis heute nichts geändert. Wir waren auf vielen Konzerten in Deutschland, Italien, Spanien ... Es täte mir leid, wenn er nicht zu den Guten gehören würde wie zb M. Jackson 💖 Ich liebe ihn bzw. seine Musik trotzdem...
Also, narrator says Kurt Weill's last name as "while" instead of the Germanic pronunciation. Also, he mistakes "Nashville Skyline" as "National Skyline"
These trashy, rich and famous lifestyle programs, really don’t give a fig about the people themselves. It’s all about trying to wow people with people’s wealth.
One of the most prolific and iconic writers in the English language; and also the world's greatest dramatist, William Shakespeare. Was born in 1564. He is popularly called the Bard of Avon. So I'm afraid I have to somewhat disagree, with the over-exagerated title, bestowed upon this somewhat miserable fellow; Zimmerman. He even stole his second name, from a Welsh poet named Dylan Thomas. Is nothing sacred?
Thanks great video Love his music listened in the 60s and 70s through high school and college some still like a movie sound track for certain events and trigger old good memories. Then when in my 40s and 50s worked with someone who had lots of old lesser known tapes of his songs I hadn't heard and we played them on a player in our basement lab I worked in. Really loved them made me appreciate his work even more ❤. We had a good boss who said it was ok since we weren't disturbing others ( lab was isolated ). Thanks Bob for your great songs and poetry.
All Along the Watchtower, that appears on Highway 61 quite often find myself in a Somewhat more polite and fun mood than usual knowing I'm traveling with the Tambourine Man!!
If there's any better I've never seen or heard them. His lyrics and music resonate just as powerfully in the 21C as well as the 20C. Two centuries of greatness and power. Spectacular!
I first heard Bob Dylan singing 'Positively 4th Street' in 1965 ..in South Africa..and was hooked! Have a few of his albums and went to a concert in Stockholm to see him in think 2004 🤔 My favourite song/hymn is 'In The Garden'.. Thank u for this really informative video :)
Dylan has said that once he had children nothing else mattered more to him. With all the accolades and awards, money and celebrity, being a family man was the one thing that rang truest to this great artist.
It’s hard for me to read all these comments of people trying to analyze him. And I think that’s partly why he reacts the way he does. Because there are so many of them. I first saw him in 1962 when Joan Baez brought him out to introduced to the audience. But that’s exactly why I went. I loved her but I mainly went to see him who was unknown at the time. The next year he was solo acoustic I saw him. An acquaintance of mine was in his movie Ronaldo and Clara. And a close friend did the sound for his tour with the grateful dead and had lunch with him. He’s just a normal guy who doesn’t like to deal with millions of people around him all the time. Artistic temperament I suppose for lack of a better term. But my daughter said he look straight at her when she was in the front row. When I went with some friends playing music for the inmates of the prison, I had no idea they were going to call me out on stage to dance! How could I possibly face all these faces? I danced with my back to the audience. So regarding Dylan,Does it really matter that much? Why do you call someone a jerk just because he doesn’t feel like facing thousands of people? Does he have to do that when he writes? Why do you have to ask him to play the same song over and over. It’s like Joni Mitchell said hey they didn’t ask van Gogh to paint a starry night again.
He has many awards that you may not know of. An artist like Bobby earned so very many. Many people don't realize. These are his words he sings. He write them. Melded them together and added the music to make them easier to hear. Some of his songs are rough around the edges. Because life is rough around the edges too.
I will say that Bobby is a different kind of artist. Brilliant writer, but his voice by itself wouldn’t win any rewards. I’m 70 so I’ve gotten used to Bobby over the years. Truly a great.
This is a dignified, respectful, well produced video. The title led me to brace myself for a video that would skip the biographical stuff and leap into how a rich old songwriter has a bunch of stuff only a millionaire could afford. While it touches on the luxuries, it doesn't dwell on them. Good balance.
Great coverage of a man who mastered Mysic. The mark of a great 🎵 musician is his or hers ability to compose songs that an average musician, like me, can play in a smelly bar in front of those who don't care 💅😘. Bob, I want to play backtracking with you for at least one song, damnit.
Im a swriter I still look to bob dylan for inspiration and direction ..hes so iconic to me and such a bridge builder and great writer It d be a shame not to learn from his amazing gift of writing .
Amazing how the guy who wsas the poster boy for the hippie movement back in the 1960s has become so establishment. He lives at a lavish estate, drives a $200,000 sports car and flies around in his private jet. Some radical!
This world is satan and his fallen angel’s playground, but not for long! Lord Jesus Christ is coming soon🙏🏼❤️🕊REPENT, believe in the Gospel, Be Born Again
@@richardjarrell3585 Everything about Elvis AND Warhol seemed dubious, toward their respective ends. PLUS, who knows how ANY of us would have behaved, having just partied with the likes of an Andy Warhol !
no mention of his life-changing motorcycle wreck, oor masterpieces like John Wesley Harding, Blood on the Tracks, Highway 61 Revisited, Blonde on Blonde, etc.
Bobby has always been my favorite artist of music. His voice is unique. Yet when I hear him here,he doesn't even have the unique sound that I know he has. Interesting.
@@jackpeters9349 you need to be a junky to like him/ i never liked him. i also very much hate bruce springtine. he is another armature that has no place
There’s an awesome trope that sums up celebrity’s worth: “How much did Howard Hughes leave of his fortune when he died?” Answer is “all of it”. While fame and fortune serves one well while you are alive, it means nothing once you are dead.
…..”youth and beauty fade away, O’ you have not long to stay, be in time. Time is passing quickly by, death and judgement drawing nigh, to the arms of Jesus fly, be in Time”…🏴
Saw him at concert in Detroit on October24 , 1965 at Masonic Temple. I bought tickets as a birthday gift for my 18th birthday. A lot of beatniks attended. It was pre Vietnam War protesting, Hippies as social phenomenon had not emerged as yet. I was drafted into Marines in January 1966 and did not have much access to his music for awhile.
I joined in February 1966, influenced by the Green Beret song. Then the Masters of War and Eve of Destruction played, and I was disillusioned with the war.
Pictured with Bob is not his missus but old flame Mavis Staples she having posted it on FB but without the house and car as background. In 1964 my English teacher brought the Freewheelin album to class. Many classmates indignant at his appearance and voice but the times (including me) he was already a changin' them.
What's with the annoying constant zooming? Dylan came on the music scene at just the right time for his music. He was daring, self-centered and arrogant - which accounted for his success as much as his music did. It wasn't until I saw him in person that I realized he had a lot of charisma.
Fun fact: Where have we heard "Rolling Thunder"?..... The Operation Rolling Thunder bombing campaign began on March 2, 1965, partly in response to a Viet Cong attack on a U.S. air base at Pleiku. The Johnson administration cited a number of reasons for shifting U.S. strategy to include systematic aerial assaults on North Vietnam ..... so Bob calls his tour "Rolling Thunder Review". What a guy.
I just turned 80. Hooked on Dylan 57 years. Still like the old ones. Listen to “Good as I been to You” a lot ! Thanks, Bob. Phil Capp.
I had the good fortune to meet Mr. Dylan. He is a polite soft-spoken nice midwestern gentleman with good manners. It was at the backstage reception after the tribute to Roy Orbison. He did not have to stop to speak to me but he did. We are lucky to still have him with us at 82 yo!
MOST OF THE TIME, I THINK HE IS. SOMETIMES I THINK PHOTOGS & FANS PRESSURE HIM & IT PISSES HIM OFF. CAN'T BLAME HIM.

Well said Bruce I agree to right mate 🏴🎸👍😄
I have always liked Bob Dylan since the mid 60s...fantastic...music and lyrics...I wish all the very best...
Often regarded as THE Greatest Song Writer of all time.

@@BeamMeUpAlready ? Although rewatching the video, was delusional making that statement.
I'm always amused when they said he's considered "one of" the greatest songwriters. I'd have thought he topped the list easily.
I’d love to hear who they think is better
Engelbert Humperdinck is way above Bob!
As a human being we need purpose...Amen..
And we also need to work towards that purpose 😉
There is no PURPOSE. Our job is to come to grips with that. Be a stoic and rejoice in freedom!

He has been the soundtrack of my life. I just finished his latest book, going to read it again. The Philosophy of Modern Song.
that's a real work with some great stealable lines within!
Dear Bob Dylan always timeless always classic
He's an iconic artist
Greatest *POET* of the 20th century.

It must be so strange to be such a huge living ICON.
Dylan has said that once he had children nothing else mattered more to him. With all the accolades and awards, money and celebrity, being a family man was the one thing that rang truest to this great artist.
A wonderful soul! And the catalyst for Sam Cooke writing his classic 'A Change is Gonna Come'.

Awfully glad to have seen those multiple shots of his cars and bikes.
I've loved Bobby Zimmerman for 53 years....
very interesting summary of Dylans life style. I had no idea that he lives in southern California

He loves black women. 🥰
After seeing this, I checked out some of his paintings on google. Very impressive. A lot of them have a bit of Edward Hopper feeling.
Dylan traded the Warhol painting to his manager for a sofa. In the 80s, the manager's widow auctioned it off for $720,000.
I love that he used it as a dartboard, yet that didn't decrease its value much.
Imagine how much it would have sold had Dylan kept it!!
@@nachobidness2553 Seeing as how Dylan was such an Elvis fan, the idea of his using Warhol’s painting as a dartboard seems dubious.
@@richardjarrell3585 Everything about Elvis AND Warhol seemed dubious, toward their respective ends. PLUS, who knows how ANY of us would have behaved, having just partied with the likes of an Andy Warhol !
It was a pretty nice sofa.
Also known as Jack Frost and has produced some of his own albums under the name Jack Frost
Thank you. I was wondering if anyone else would mention that. Then I started to think, am I right about that? You know, getting old. Lol.
The man won a Nobel Prize for Literature, ffs
It was about time. They waited long enough. He earned it years ago.
2016
I like his words and music.
Me too, he gave me the fabric to begin my process of ideas political stance, compassion and social justice....
As you age, the times they are a changing.
Tonight BoB Dylan is playing in Amsterdam evening time!💞
no mention of his life-changing motorcycle wreck, oor masterpieces like John Wesley Harding, Blood on the Tracks, Highway 61 Revisited, Blonde on Blonde, etc.
I know; I was struck that his cars and motorcycles got more attention than those classic albums, which transformed pop and rock music forever.
At 4:55 that photo is not of Carol Dennis but of Clydie King to whom he was also married for a while.
After reading his book I really like him. He's not who I thought. He's not who I think either. But definitely not who I thought.
Prince playing blues!
Bobby has always been my favorite artist of music. His voice is unique. Yet when I hear him here,he doesn't even have the unique sound that I know he has. Interesting.
he is awful
Dylan's music defines eons mage concisely n brightly
@@jackpeters9349 you need to be a junky to like him/ i never liked him. i also very much hate bruce springtine. he is another armature that has no place
Intelligent man
Randy looks remarkably like Tom Petty!
🤣🙁
My gosh, this dude is rich!
His station wagon looks just like the one my parents had. I had to use it to pass my road test in high school lol.
There’s an awesome trope that sums up celebrity’s worth: “How much did Howard Hughes leave of his fortune when he died?” Answer is “all of it”. While fame and fortune serves one well while you are alive, it means nothing once you are dead.
…..”youth and beauty fade away, O’ you have not long to stay, be in time. Time is passing quickly by, death and judgement drawing nigh, to the arms of Jesus fly, be in Time”…🏴
"Bob Dylan's 115th Dream" sure sounds like a jester to me.
Saw him at concert in Detroit on October24 , 1965 at Masonic Temple. I bought tickets as a birthday gift for my 18th birthday. A lot of beatniks attended. It was pre Vietnam War protesting, Hippies as social phenomenon had not emerged as yet. I was drafted into Marines in January 1966 and did not have much access to his music for awhile.
I am glad you survived!
I joined in February 1966, influenced by the Green Beret song. Then the Masters of War and Eve of Destruction played, and I was disillusioned with the war.
He may be part of the system now, but he’s enjoying his money!! 👍👍👍
Moody Blues for a interveiw
He’s probably the most financially successful musician in history !
The introduction does not mention he was also awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature.
But it is mentioned at 3:25.
A very sceptical but defnite liker of certain Albums of his.
Pictured with Bob is not his missus but old flame Mavis Staples she having posted it on FB but without the house and car as background. In 1964 my English teacher brought the Freewheelin album to class. Many classmates indignant at his appearance and voice but the times (including me) he was already a changin' them.
Dylan has fooled us all. He’s the greatest magician to ever live.
Didn't he sell his soul to Satan??
He’s a master at his [witch]craft.
How come I've actually never seen him take a drag out of his cigarette ever. He just holds them..
YOU TELL SOMEONE ELSE TO BE KIND I CHOOSE MY WORDS CAREFULLY
What's with the annoying constant zooming? Dylan came on the music scene at just the right time for his music. He was daring, self-centered and arrogant - which accounted for his success as much as his music did. It wasn't until I saw him in person that I realized he had a lot of charisma.
Fun fact: Where have we heard "Rolling Thunder"?..... The Operation Rolling Thunder bombing campaign began on March 2, 1965, partly in response to a Viet Cong attack on a U.S. air base at Pleiku. The Johnson administration cited a number of reasons for shifting U.S. strategy to include systematic aerial assaults on North Vietnam ..... so Bob calls his tour "Rolling Thunder Review". What a guy.
If there was ever a jester running around, it would be me.
