See but they're not idiots, they were interested in really what he's getting at! He was a fascinating character to them. You prove my point written above and prove yourself to be every bit the snob the true realizers of what is wouldn't be interested in
@@Vibeagain No.. they're really idiots. The Press love asking zinger questions in hopes the one being interviewed will say something bad about someone else.. So they can have a splashy headline. They aren't there because "they're interested" normally.. They are just there to work the levers on their clown show.
They were too ignorant to be interviewing him. They didnt listen to his music or much of anything, obviously. They based questions on what they read in the news. Why take that seriously?
Why is it that they were only idiots when they asked Dylan questions? Elvis was magnitudes greater a star than Dylan, and he treated interviewers with respect and answered their questions. It's not difficult to do. In fact, it takes less energy to just answer a question in a straight-forward manner than it does to play the games he plays.
It’s hilarious that the interviewers don’t seem to understand how silly their questions are, and that they didn’t simply come up with more interesting or meaningful questions. He’s just working with whatever they give him.
@@Vibeagain probably because it’s difficult when people are putting you on the spot with random questions and are likely to try and distort anything you say. He was well aware of the game but he still had to play it anyway. Had he chosen not to do the press briefings they would have said that he’s aloof. It’s a case of being damned if you do and damned if you don’t.
@oleggorky906 good to see a fellow enthusiast respond! With a background in communications and public speaking I can tell you it's not difficult to give sincere answers that deepen interest, while yet protecting your privacy. It is my opinion Dylans approach tends to make things more difficult for all involved
@@gloriafayekelley Of course he was not. He has explained many times that he was tired of the ridiculous questions the media were slinging at him so he would give them equally ridiculous answers.
Bob, I love your interaction with the press. You always say something hilarious. You’re looking so trustful and serious . The name you claimed was your first name, oh Bob, you made me smile. My coffee waiting to be drunk. But your name..I’ve forgot what you said , 🌺🤗🥰
If you want raw folk, try “Another Side of Bob Dylan.” If you want rock & folk, I suggest “Highway 61.” If you want country or blues, I suggest “Nashville Skyline” or “John Wesley Harding” If you’d like later Dylan, but with a nod to folk - try “Blood On The Tracks”
Yup, also very sly and funny. I love reading the comments from people who are just so appalled 🤣🤣🤣 “He sounds like he’s on drugs”…He played all these bullshitters like fiddles, but like you say, his spirit remained kind…even if most of them never earned that.
Oh, sure. This is scrupulously respectful. About as scrupulous respectful as Harpo or Chico Marx responding to Groucho. Does it not occur to you that these journalists are functioning deliberately as straightmen?
TIMOTHEE CHALAMET would no doubt be the shoe-in regarding his portrayal of Dylan. He also has that softness in the way he expresses himself as well. Just a personal observation.👏👍
He must have felt so alone. Hearing these obscenely stupid questions and trying to make the ordeal have at least *some* meaning for himself personally.
He is just smart enough to realize that the questions he is being ask are just so that they can use his answers to create trouble for other people. So he only played with the idiots:)

Exactly. They're just trying to maneuver him into saying something that would serve their own manipulative purposes, and they're trying to make themselves look clever at the same time.
Hearing old interviews, it creeps me out the way they talk to him, like he's some alien being they want to crack open.yet his calm wry responses just make them look as clueless as they were.
It mean's he's not going to tell them what his original name was, and he doesn't see any good reason why he should, because it's none of their business. It also sounds like an ordinary Eastern European or maybe a Polish or Russian name which could easily be Jewish also....so it fits his real family origins, while being funny at the same time. Technically speaking, it means "son of Kniz" or perhaps "son of Kniza", because the "vich" part on the end is a suffix that means "son of"........just like "Johnson" means "son of John" and "Robertson" means "son of Robert" in the English culture.
the purpose of the interview is to write sensationalist trifles in the back of newsweek. its not a serious forum. as he explained in other interviews. his answers dont matter. the questions are unanswerable or silly and anything he says will automatically minimise his art so he has no reason to answer them except to entertain.
Bob hungover ate their lunch while commissioning his bird to mr jones talking to queen Jane wearing pearls and taking amphetamines… no match for the undertaker… but it’s alright ma , I’m only bleeding .
He enjoyed being on the edge. He rode in on the coat tails of the protest movement (as he said in the no direction home documentary) so you shouldnt be suprised if people keep identifying you as a protest singer. He was a beat poet who initially used folk- style format as a vehicle ambiguously... looked like one but wasn't. He wasnt a protest singer but he was a defiant singer and founded his identity on having no identity. He was pretty lost really.
Who said or who invented that reporters, journalists have like this devine touch that they think they can pick on you with a stick like if you where a dead animal or somthing 🤔
You become a threat to the establishment . When you sing a protest song. Look what happened to John Lennon, give peace a chance. In my opinion Bob Dylan becomes a threat to establishment. All I see is irritating questions. Freedom of speech is gradually being restricted in the 60’s there’s was a a few protests songs during the Vietnam war. ( Barry McGuire, Eve of Destruction) ( Ten miles high , I loved to change the world) .

Fake. He did not say that. Find me an interview x you'll only find fake quotes pages
But he was absolutely desperate for them to like his stuff. Read his autobiography.
How he didn't laugh at, "...labor in the same musical vineyard in which you toil", I'll never understand.

If you don't dig his songs or voice, simply read his lyrics. Outstanding.
Being in your early 20s and in love with Bob is a real Joy!!! He’s so punk rock hahaha
Nah. He’s just rock n’ roll.
Bob was definitely pre-punk in his own way.
*He's a freethinker is what he is. Stop using tabloid terms to navigate this life*
