'Just because you like my stuff, doesn't mean I owe you anything' Bob Dylan

That was the whole thing he seemed arrogant because if the press or the audience pays you a compliment they expect gratitude for their praise. The media is used to being able to make or break a star but he was more self made just doing his own thing then they were furious he was middle classes and well educated not actually a poor beatnick except by his own choice to be too what should he owe them an apology for being intelligent and successful I think that's what they wanted to demand of him.

Love his gentle way of telling them they're idiots

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.

@@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

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”

Bob Dylan (Duluth, Minesota; 24 de mayo de 1941),[4]​ registrado al nacer como Robert Allen Zimmerman (en hebreo: שבתאי זיסל בן אברהם, Shabtai Zisl ben Avraham), es un músico, compositor, cantante y poeta estadounidense, ampliamente considerado como una de las figuras más prolíficas e influyentes en la música popular del siglo XX y de comienzos del siglo XXI.[5]​[6]​[7]​ En 2016 recibió el Premio Nobel de Literatura.[8]​

This is so funny 😂

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.

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.

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.

Thats what I was thinking …136 protest singers 😮 maybe…141 ..or 142 at the time not counting Edie Gorme of course…😂

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.

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 🤔

A hundred and forty six.

doing the interviews is part of promoting himself . he wouldn't not do interviews. he needed those guys.

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) .
