Give him a break man im tired of dylan bashing if i misunderstood...i apologize to ya. But he earned that award And he didnt ask for it or alot of other things that were hung on him
No, I think he did work in a carnival (if not for six years)... He said so in No Direction Home. Course, he might have been mythologizing himself then too, but I would hope not.
he liked to make up stories about himself early on. i feel there's no harm especially because nothing he ever made up came close to comparing with what he became.
Blue jay, just found this, first thing I thought was, ' Man, he's laughing, he's laughing a lot, that's so weird' .but that kind of nervous, fun laughter is youth. Sadly I must confess.. As I grew older, the world grew colder.. Laughter comes less & less. Anyway, so cool we thought the same thing. Dylan fan all my life. ☮️
Hes got great wit always had.. check out his midsixtes press interviews pure comedy .. he just got sick of all the press jargon.. Bob's got a real warm heart he's a giggler
A lot younger. I can see him smile and laugh early in his career, sometimes at other people's expense (reporters in particular) but as he has aged and some fanatic fans harassed him day and night, he's become guarded. He also seems to get a little more eccentric as he ages. Makes him more interesting but I wonder if he's happy. He has his painting and sculpture so maybe that helps.
I feel like people take him more seriously than he does...Kinda silly that, considering his message has always been not to trust your pop stars and leaders...
Its pretty interesting to hear Bob before the motorcycle crash. I know he is 20 here, but you can really see his youthfulness in how he talks and responds to questions. Great episode, keep up the good work!
Bob's making stuff up here, he never travelled around and played in Carnivals, ha ha ha. Part of Bob being Dylan is telling tall tales, associating himself with giants & larger themes. Truth is subjective
Playing strings that shoulda had last rights said over 'em, and buried in the cold, cold ground. But I was into Dylan at a very early age, back when other people were singing his songs and no one ever even heard of him ... unless you looked over a record, and checked out the songwriter ... Became a born-again Christian many years ago, and recorded several Gospel-related albums. I never saw anyone sing with the kind of timing he had ... you always thought he was vocally going to be late to deliver the next line, but he ALWAYS finished the current line in and on time, like no one I have ever seen. Almost magical.
In this interview (longer version) he mentions traveling all around the country and playing in Gallup, NM, among other places, before going to New York in '62. I played a gig in Gallup and I thought damn! Me and Bob played in the same town, at different times. Then I found out he never played in Gallup, he made up all that stuff to help create a mystique. LOl, oh well, can't blame Bob. That was a great idea.
(from No Direction Home doc): “...in the house that my father bought... [t]here was a great big mahogany radio with a 78-rpm turntable...I opened it up one day and there was a record on it, a country record, a song called ‘Driftin’ Too Far From the Shore.’ The sound of the record made me feel like I was someone else - that maybe I wasn’t born to the right parents or something"
Yeah, this is fun. Hadn't heard it in quite a while. The cartoons look like Bob in 1966, not Bob in 1962 when he had conventional short hair, looked very young, and wore a hat and working class clothes. He had kind of almost a Huck Finn look to him in those days, and it helped give some believability to the stories he told about traveling around with the carnival and all that. He was really trying to emulate the Woody Guthrie life story at that time, because Guthrie was one of his idols when he was young. Some others were Buddy Holly, Elvis, and Little Richard. He had gone from country (Hank Williams) to electric rock n' roll to acoustic folk and blues already by the time he was 20 years old! And that gave him a very solid musical foundation to work from. He probably did not believe he was headed for either fame or riches, but he did know exactly what he wanted to do...and he did it.
I love the harmonica story. I've done similar things trying to play guitar and harmonica at the same time and I also remember stacking piles of books to rig a mic stand. Couldn't afford the equipment. Maybe it was just another Dylan tall tale, but it seems too small to be.
I had no idea Bob made up stuff in interviews before watching this... I’m thinking “Carnival, 6 years? Whaaa? - Wasn’t he was actually in a fraternity at college at one point?” What a nut.
when I see people like Dylan talk about working minor jobs like running the ferris wheel, I always wonder how often we may have passed by a future celebrity and never realized it. I remember meeting Wayne Brady when he was Winston on the Ghostbusters ride at Universal. (He had his unique voice then) unfortunately, had a chance to get ghostbuster's autograph but never got it.. would be so worth it now.
"The sword swallower comes up to you and then he kneels . . .' The beauty parlor is filled with sailors F C The circus is in town / Here comes the blind commissioner F C They've got him in a trance / One hand is tied to the tight-rope walker/ the other is in his pants. That's circus images from just two songs. I'm sure if I searched I'd find a lot more. Below a number of comments say he made up the circus thing as part of his myth. But I think he really did work in a carnival. If only for a day. I did when I was a 16 year old runaway in '67. I was hitching cross country and saw a carnival going up and asked did they have any work and I helped unload some trucks. Dylan did hitch hike out to Gallup, New Mexico where he had relatives and could have come across a carnival going up. At that age everything hits you in technicolor and has incredible symbolic meaning if you're a symbol kind of person. I can see that such images of freaks and outcasts would have provided the perfect symbols for what he was about to try and express. Which was people living inside Montgomery Ward clothes with the wrong narrative by which they defined themselves to one another and themselves. Now the clothes have changed but the narrative is again the wrong one so, young poets, take heart! There's oracular poetry yet to dig up. He also said he was Bobby Vee's (The Night Has A Thousand Eyes) piano player. Could be - for one gig or two or three. At some point Dylan saw that the metaphor was more real than the actuality and in self preservation, he decided to stick with a metaphorical life rather than learn the words everyone else learned so as to buried in the wrong description of things.
"I'm never gonna become rich and famous"
*wins a Nobel Prize*
doesn't acknowledge it
TheOunceler yeah but he's got a much cooler hat now
And damn it.. it almost worked
Give him a break man im tired of dylan bashing if i misunderstood...i apologize to ya.
But he earned that award
And he didnt ask for it or alot of other things that were hung on him
Who gives a shit about a Nobel prize anyway. Just some award some inbred royalty arbitrarily hand out, as if they have some authority on the matter
1962 bob dylan: "i'm never gonna become rich and famous"
1965 bob dylan: hol' my beer
Just one year after this interview he was famous.
Oh my god, its before even his first album...
Lee Oliver How did you get out of the dam?
Ya its a classic interview prior to a performance he had in nyc , before columbia signed him
Ive heard part of it in his documentary
He does a lot of songs on this youcan find it on here
Bob made the carnival thing up. It was part of the character he was making for himself.
No, I think he did work in a carnival (if not for six years)... He said so in No Direction Home. Course, he might have been mythologizing himself then too, but I would hope not.
He made that story up.
+Jared Suchomel nah, he was lying then too. The whole thing was made up.
he liked to make up stories about himself early on. i feel there's no harm especially because nothing he ever made up came close to comparing with what he became.
That's very weird, what an odd fellow. One of my favorites but still an odd duck at times, lol
I love Bob Dylan, genuinely do, but I didn't even know he knew how to laugh this much ;)
Blue Jay same

Really cool to hear him so young with his whole life ahead of him.
Great job bringing it to life as usual guys.
" the song was there long before i came around with a pencil" awesome.
Its pretty interesting to hear Bob before the motorcycle crash. I know he is 20 here, but you can really see his youthfulness in how he talks and responds to questions. Great episode, keep up the good work!
The animations and people you do for this is just EXCEPTIONAL. BEST youtube channel by miles.
Thx so much.. reading comments is always a gamble, lots of haters.
Total Gamble!!!
Patrick Smith's animations are so good... and they just keep getting better... Amazing work, as always!
too kind! we got some killer episodes coming up, stay tuned!
Dylan made all of that up. That folks is why we love him :)
Bob's making stuff up here, he never travelled around and played in Carnivals, ha ha ha. Part of Bob being Dylan is telling tall tales, associating himself with giants & larger themes. Truth is subjective
Trying to be like Guthrie
Truth is subjective? Great. Then you, and every other Che Guevara poster owner, don't exist.
He never lived in South dakota either lol. Maybe he stayed there.
@@blackmore4 poor little sad angry man. you'll see someday buddy. happy travels.
@@25-keys44 Poor love, I've already seen.
These are just so lovely, really charming animation. Thanks so much for making these :)
I love Dylan. It was so easy to lie back then. They have no idea
This is an adorable interview. They both seem like they are having a lot of fun :))
How can you not smile when hearing Bob Dylan speak
The man has been a comet blazing across the sky for 60 years.
its always nice to hear his voice
That carnival idea for a song he talks about here might have been what ended up becoming Ballad of a Thin Man
or Desolation Row
i thought the banter might have been leading up to a rendition of "dusty old fairgrounds"
Bob Dylan is the best. Thank you for making this :~)

ivnt see a video as nice this lately, this was just...beautiful
This RUclips Channel is truly a gem! thank you for sharing such things!
One of the best channels on RUclips.
I love this and the choice of which words to animate is inspired. I hope Bob finds this on you tube. He would love it.
I love you guys and what you're doing, keep it up!
The greatest artist of the 20th century, a true creative genius with uncanny uniqueness. I salute you mr Bob Dylan.
He’s a great musician and storyteller

Ahhhh how fulfilling. I've been waiting for a Dylan episode since I first started watching Blank on Blank two years ago or whenever.
Bob Dylan is one of my heroes
0:34 subterranean homesick blues reference ftw!
+Emilios Antoun ;)
You mean Talkin' New York?
God I was about to type that :(
Fantastic animation. It really adds richness to the interview.
love Bob's music, this is a gem.
Love your channel guys! Keep up the great work!
He sounds so young. Love this.
Wow, this is brilliant. You are amazing. Love it.
Fascinating as always! Keep it up guys.
This made me happy
I once had a friend who looked, dressed, acted, spoke and laughed exactly like cartoon Dylan here. Except with a Scottish accent
This is so amazing! Thank you so much for putting this up
DUDE.... THIS HAS JUST BECAME MY FAVORITE VIDEO.
thank you so much for this i love it to bits

I love this! And the homesick blues cards!
James Dean Next ?
that would be cool
@@BlankonblankOrg still waiting for James dean
This was delightful!
A genius.
I love the interviews on your channel. I really do!
thank you so much for this!
Great job -Loved it !!
Bob Dylan is the greatest ever
Pretty Cool Interesting Blast From The Past 🌸🧡🧡🌸
it's crazy that I'm the same age as he was in this interview he speaks as if he has lived though a lot despite his young age
I love this interview. He sounds so high, but the music he played was so good! Worth looking up the whole thing x
"I had just come there from South Dakota"
X Doubt
holy fucking shit!!! I love you so much for making these small animations! Keep it up
What a gem of history .
I'm so happy you did Bob Dylan :D
I love the harmonica story. I've done similar things trying to play guitar and harmonica at the same time and I also remember stacking piles of books to rig a mic stand. Couldn't afford the equipment. Maybe it was just another Dylan tall tale, but it seems too small to be.
"It was all there before I came along.." So much class :-)
Yay! I got what I asked for...thank you!
b.d a giant of the 20th century..respect xx
thank you
thanks for this
I had no idea Bob made up stuff in interviews before watching this... I’m thinking “Carnival, 6 years? Whaaa? - Wasn’t he was actually in a fraternity at college at one point?” What a nut.
“Yeah I must be tweny” 😂
How about River Phoenix or Thom Yorke
Let me Eat cake THOMM
Thommmm yes💛💛💛
I dig this
Awesome, was hoping you'd do a Dylan episode. Do Leonard Cohen next!
Brilliant!!!!!
damn I'm almost 20 and I'm still in school..
They didn't have school in 62
He graduated from high school and went to new York when he was 19. He told some whoppers.
He did attend the Univ. of Minnesota for one semester. He talks about it in Chronicles Vol. 1.
Bob bull shitting his way thru an interview. 😂
It doesn't really sound as he does like in later in the 60s
nep
Cause later in the 60s the Nigga was on drugs
Its bcos it's the early 60s
He’s had many sounds
♥
Awesome.
awesome
Brilliant
great animation
when I see people like Dylan talk about working minor jobs like running the ferris wheel, I always wonder how often we may have passed by a future celebrity and never realized it. I remember meeting Wayne Brady when he was Winston on the Ghostbusters ride at Universal. (He had his unique voice then) unfortunately, had a chance to get ghostbuster's autograph but never got it.. would be so worth it now.
Your best work will always stand taller than you
NICE JOB!
damn, happy 79th bob
These young artist even in their time talk like how teenagers talk now and they're so down to earth

I love u bob

One of my hero's
This is nice
Mr. Dylan!

I love the drawing keep up the good work
Hard times for the country living up in New York town
Great video! You guys should do Marc Bolan with The T. Rex Electric Warrior Interview!
How is Bob able to play the guitar if they don't have strings at 1:56?
They invisible
Blank on blank on blank
