@ 15:00 As an Irishman I was actually caught off-guard when he corrected the significant geographical difference between our republic and the British isles. No apology necessary, sir. You're a class act, and knowledgeable to boot!

Being GenX i missed the Dylan of the 60s and half of the 70s- then in first year university in 1980 took a splurge and bought 2 live albums - Hard Rain and Live at Budokan. IT was those two Dylan albums that really got me hooked. And despite being an atheist I loved Slow Train Coming and Saved - would always listen to those two when the world felt against me and the chips were down.Then over the next 2 or 3 years bought every single Dylan LP available. As Beatle George once said " Bob is the gaffer" , and that he is.

beautifully said. Bob is timeless

A top video to re-watch on the eve of Bob's birthday! What an amazing life, what an amazing person who always knew his calling to write songs and entertain. Not a truer word spoken when it was said here that in 300 years Bob Dylan will be studied like many others who have achieved incredible Greatness. Happy 83rd Birthday Bob and may you keep going till you reach at least 100!

Bob Dylan's paintings of late are magnificent. A lot of detail, must have taken a lot of time to do. Check them out sometime.

There are many Dylan bio's on You Tube, but none quite like this one. Very enjoyable with a nice flow. Thanks for posting this.

I agree. I've been arguing the same except I don't think it is hip hop but rap. . Rap has a two count rhyme scheme, social issues as a theme, focus on cadence, wordsmith, etc. It wasn't hip hop because hip hop is a combination of rap and hip hop beats whi8ch are distinguished by its baseline. Others try to argue saying other instances but, all other songs have traditional rhyme schemes even found in the Bible.

@funisnumberone1 It must be true for so many people. You really can't fully appreciate feasting at the table of Dylan without exploring these flavors, too. The experience becomes a rich and endless journey. To be a Dylan fan brings its own reward. Becoming a Dylan student is a different experience altogether. Either choice is a win. Not everyone will hear the call. That's alright, too. But it has sure been good to me!

Excellent documentary! Bravo in putting this together with pertinent footage and references! It would be impossible to be comprehensive about Bob's entire career without making it 78 hours or more long. But you have chosen a great focus for this synopsis which is no easy task! You have also managed to be so tasteful about it which I appreciate very much! I would be interested in you doing a sequel or two more in the same manner of subsequent years. There are so many digressing paths and rabbit holes that can confuse documentaries especially biographical types; with Bob Dylan more than anyone else! Great job! Thank you!

Thankyou a Brilliant Compilation of Bob's incredible Amazing Life story! ❤❤❤❤❤

Excellent Dylan doc. Very happy i found it.

Dylan is one of the precious few truly great songwriters of our age.

Interesting about the song Pretty Polly.

Lots of songwriters and script writers take inspiration from the newspaper articles!

Totally skipped right over Joan Baez who 'discovered' him after initially panning him. Brought him onstage many times when he was a nobody - after she heard his own compositions. He was barred from most clubs in the Cambridge MA folk scene (very big) and wasn't welcomed at most in the Village - because he wasn't very good. It's when she heard his own song she was floored (she thought he was a toad who chased her younger sister Mimi before that). He basically owes his career to her. How can you not mention Joan Baez in a Bob Dylan documentary?!!! Read "Positively 4th Street" by David Haidju - all about how it happened.

@jeffhildreth9244

No Joan Baez, no Bobby Zimmerman. I met this guy at the Big Sur Hot Springs at an event where Joan, sister Mimi and her hubby Richard Farina were doing an impromptu "gig". Dylan was there as Joan's puppy dog. He was introduced and began to wail. Dylan could not sing, play guitar of the harmonica.. He then slid into his feigned morose, brooding intellectual BS. He was a very poor rip off of Woody Guthrie ..and of course no one remembers Dylan claimed he was the last person to see Woody before he died and made up stories about that. Shortly after Bobby began wearing the garb and boots which were trademark Woody Guthrie. Joni Mitchell had it right very early on when she called him a fraud.

It is clear from Dylan's own comments that for him, it was simply a career of writing lyrics that would ensnare as many listeners as possible and ensure a profitable outcome. He tapped the salient issues of the time as a means to success without really being vested in any of them. Dylan, the business man writing songs condemning the business man.

I think he cared about some social issues but as an artist, not as one who wanted to march and he is a restless man who grew bored with folk genre and moved to more illusive poetic music and then leaped to electric rock and roll, and later country, gospel, to Sinatra covers, he plays to please his artistry and yes is concerned about finances but always been willing to do what he wanted even if it wasn’t commercial success. He’s one of a kind, a true legend that cannot ever be replaced, icon.

Some of them are much bettewr with words and explaining and depicting things than writters. Nor to people who can express many complicated things in casual conversation. why than they should give nobel's prize to musicians? They are not writters. Ok, some of them are authors, they write verses of songs or notes, or both, as Bob Dylan. Music is poetic. Something of his verses could fit a book. Mr Tambourine man, for instance. But most of that can't. Even some of his songs that are considered timeless would be a bullshit in a book. for instance the song about rich people, i don't know the tittle, he sings how he would like to go to their funeral, when their money won't mean anything to them.... Wait a secon! Think. It is timeless. Because people are talking the same about rich people for centuries all over the world. Put it in a book, and it will be a bullshit. Like claiming green grass is of green colour. But in music, it is poetic.... Bob dylan is a poet. But he's not a writter. Not a literateur. Most of storrytelers are not writters. Some musicians are. But he is not... He knows that. And he knows the nobel Prize given to him is a bullshit.... There was a musician in my ciountry who played and composed his poetic songs, an also was a writter. But he never wrote a book of poetry, just a few novels. Novels can be poetic, and his novels certainly were. But not all that is poetic is litteral poetry. He had never recieved even a local prize for litterature. And his songs are realy touching and versitile. Balades, humoristic songs, storrytelling songs... He was equal to Bob. But who cares. No one understands what he's singing about.The Nobel Comitee has never heard for him. And i'm sure every country has some musicians who are equal to Bob Dylan. How they could have observe only english speaking area when the nobel's prize is supposed to be global? And what was the explaination wha they had given nobel's prize to him. "Because of influence he had on american writters".... What about other writters?.... Besides, everything influences everything else. Homeless people are great influencers if a writters have luck to meet them and communicate with them. Casualy off courtse. It wouldn't be the same if they approach in some kind of interrogative and scrutinazing way. Lunatics are great influencers. Sick people. all unhappy people, because you can't write about happy families, as Tolstoy used to say. Literature demands something odd. "You can't write about a dog biting a man, but about a man biting a dog", journalists used to joke long time ago. Everything that's odd is influencive. so, it's nonsense to give the nobel's prize tto Bob just because of influencing. we all know odd things are influencing. We don't need him to tell us that. We need him to play to us what we already know, in order to be touched with such performances. To feel some purpose of odds we are iving
