Even now at eighty plus years, dylan goes on touring..He doesn't need the money, fame or attention..He just loves playing with his band..A few years ago I caught him in zurich switzerland playing with some old timers in a park..Love the guy because he's always been just bob, doing his thing..Nothing more, nothing less..
I had fun scoring the guitar on this short and great interview done by my songwriting mentor and friend JP Olsen. I found James Mangold's answers and thoughts encompassed many of the feelings I have about Bob Dylan. I loved the chair and table building analogy for young artists. I'm building all kinds of chairs and tables over on my page. Looking forward to seeing this film with my young daughter and how millions of youth will now know more about this story.
Excellent interview. I've always taken issue with the fact that Dylan is considered an enigma as well. As Mangold says, Bob is constantly laying it out there on the line. And while he doesn't sit down to do talk show interviews, he has done many in-depth print interviews over the years--way more than someone like Mick Jagger for example, who rarely does interviews and when he does, reveals very little.
You know, as someone who’s always been aware of Bob Dylan, and grown up with his music… I forget that it’s not the case for everyone. There’s generations of people who are just too young to maybe be aware of him at all… but I think if someone who falls into that category goes to see this movie, and the music touches and speaks to them, then they want to learn more about the music and Dylan himself, then they are in for quite a treat and ride. I’ve seen Dylan go through his different “ phases “ and seen him perform live probably four times, and there’s a lot to uncover. Growing up in the 60’s and 70’s there was a HUGE amount of diversity in music to listen to… it was just an incredible time to be around…! Music was a friend to me, growing up… it was always there when I needed it to be, it never said NO… but afforded me to have as I refer it to as” friends I’ll never meet “… and if this movie does that or opened a world of knowledge and discovery for anyone… then that’s a positive thing. ( I encourage anyone wanting to see the reaction to Dylan plugging in… there’s a video here on RUclips of Dylan playing “Like A Rolling Stone “ in the U.K. , and he is yelled at by an audience member, and Bob reacts… it’s truly a moment in rock n roll history… on film… check it out)… long live Bob Dylan and his music !
@hiltrud2001 You’re welcome… I’d always heard the story… but didn’t realize it was recorded, till I saw this… backed by The Band… if I’m not mistaken… !
Sometimes I have really read some of his lyrics and made an effort to understand them and what I found was somewhat mystical and open ended that just hit the right strings in my psyche. Dylan is important.
Thanks, we've got a few other interesting ones coming in the following weeks, including with one of Dylan's friends that has known him since they were kids.
I'm almost 70 and never was a real Dylan fan and people who are real Dylan fans have a reverence towards him, like he's an icon. I just remember when Dylan went from folk singer to electric some of his fans were not so respectful anymore. He's had a long career. I liked him a little more when he was in "The Band".I will see the movie.
A big missed opportunity, was when the filmmaker of Don't Look Back, who had access to a whole UK tour, and to see and film many facets of Dylan.... Chose to have a selfish agenda and make a very narrow, and non objective biography... And try to paint Dylan's character into a box... Dylan was shocked when he saw it and felt it was propaganda... It was a catalyst for him to withdraw much more from the public than he already had.

Great interview!
Thank you! He was generous with his time, and we appreciated the insightful conversation.
Looking forward to this
I think Dylan is busy being born not dying. He's always in the process of becoming. But otherwise a great interview.
That he not busy being born is busy dying
Enjoyed this interview; very interesting; thank you!
Thanks for watching!
Sometimes I have really read some of his lyrics and made an effort to understand them and what I found was somewhat mystical and open ended that just hit the right strings in my psyche. Dylan is important.
What a delightful interview!!
Thanks. A few more really insightful interviews coming in the next couple of weeks!
Love The North 1033! Great interview.
Great interview.
Thanks, we've got a few other interesting ones coming in the following weeks, including with one of Dylan's friends that has known him since they were kids.

Beautiful
fantastic interview .. .
Thank you!
What about Woody Guthrie? Didn't he have a massive influence on the early Dylan? His early "persona" certainly sounded and looked like Woody.

I love Bob Dylan and I'll see the movie but I ain't gonna listen to that guy drone on for 15 minutes !! lol Love & Theft !!
is he wearing a fake nose ??
James Mangold may be able to ruin Indiana Jones, but he’ll NEVER ruin Bob Dylan…thank god he’s making this movie about Timothee Chalamet instead
still don’t trust anyone over 30
