Some of the stuff is just childish though. Take the last couple of minutes of this footage for example; they barge into him, probably at the airport where he’s most likely tired and not at his best because of the cabin pressure etc, then start asking him a lot of silly questions that don’t mean anything … he must be thinking, “What the heck do you expect me to say; wtf are you even talking about?”

Bob is wise enough not to answer questions designed for the interviewers benefit. He knows it really doesn't matter because people believe what they want to believe.

well actually they do. I am a painter and people are always asking me, what were you thinking when you made this? what is this painting about? I tell them it's subjective, and they tell me they see all these things in the painting I never even thought of, but just say, that's the beauty of art. I rarely tell them anything about what I was think, because you really can't. I might tell them how I made it, the process, the media, etc. I think painters get this more, because songs have lyrics and people have some sense of what it might mean, whereas painting is all visual vocabulary.

William Alford I had a book of Dylan’s lyrics translated into Spanish. A friend of mine met a guy who claimed to know Dylan and my friend asked him if he’d ask Dylan to sign the book. He said he would. A few weeks later the book was returned in the mail with a signature purporting to be Dylan’s. I never believed it was Dylan’s signature. Then, few years ago, I saw a video on KZread of a fan getting Dylan’s signature on an album. The fan showed the signature to the camera. I wanted to compare the signature to the one in my book. But when I went to look for the book I couldn’t find it. The End. Ha! Ha!

I think its overlooked just how well Bob Dylan is on guitar.

The man is just amazing really. I love how even in just a conversation he can just something that is just a great line, like "how can I answer that if you've got the nerve to ask me?" or "I'm not questioning you because I don't expect any answers from you."

Princess Diana was vapid human who thrived on publicity and had no discernible talent. She's the antithesis of Dylan.

It's not that it's torturous, but there are hardships that come with fame. That's not to say that it's not worth the trade off, but just because it's nice to be famous doesn't mean there aren't things that are difficult about it. It's nice to be beautiful. but it comes with problems. It's nice to be rich but that comes with problems. That something is good overall doesn't mean there isn't a downside. People don't lose the right to have problems because one area of life treats them well.

the message is self evident. You don't even need to explain. If it needs details you probably shouldn't listen.

Poor Dylan, hahahahahahahaha, he had to hear all those stupid questions...he was too smart for those interviewers!! :P That's why he became so irritated with them...sigh! He was a deep person, and all the media trying to stereotype him, label him...He just understood he was being very creative and doing what he loved: compose and sing songs. :)

I love his attitude to interviews.

Its funny, one would say that he's acting irrationally or rudely, but he is simply reacting the way a good, humble human being would, and should. I have so much respect for Bob Dylan because he cared about nothing but to get his best music out and to play it for those who wanted to listen. A great man indeed.

such a fucking legend

This interview was great! He never did the talk shows so hearing him speak is a rarity. There is always something quotable whenever he does talk. "The moment we're born, we're old enough to die" Loved the answer to why he doesn't go on the internet "Some pervert might lure me away" So funny! I could of seen him perform in the 70's for free. He did the Michigan State Fair. It was getting dark and my car was parked in a sketchy area. Totally regret not staying to see him. You could sit right at the edge of the stage! Finally did see him and the Band in Ann Arbor, MI.(11/6/2019) Says he plays to the back row, thought someone was playing harp along with him next to me. Guess it's the unique acoustics of Hill auditorium. Absolutely, positively one of my favorite people!

I think the truly miraculous thing about Dylan is the fact he didn't let the mindless masses squash him. I am so glad he was the voice of my adolescence he gave me refuge and hope. I remember seeing the interview with the journo who actually said 'I haven''t listended to your music'' ! When Dylan asked ''then why are you interviewing me'' journo replied ''because it's my job'' WTF 90 percent of a journos job is research. Dylan helped keep it real and pull them in to face themselves - and still does. There is serious depth and courage in that. Got to me thinking - who do we have like that now? Anybody?

Classic brooding poet. A master, the foundation of modern rock as we know it.

i love people who put these interviews together in one video he's so perfect

God gave Bob Dylan a beautiful gift for all of us, beautiful ❤️ and I thank you for your music and paintings my love, Elizabeth 💓

I saw a clip of Duke Ellington being interviewed he had the same demeanor as Dylan. If the person asking them questions has an ego, is controlling or tries to pry things out of them then Duke, Dylan and those like them put up a wall and watch you struggle to climb it.

Also, he knew and had experienced that press doesn't really care about what he has to say anyway, because they only want a story they can sell. So he figured not to give them anything.

Once upon a time loved that bob dylan just for his attitude, youth culture.

I love the way he deals with these stupid reporters and their questions! He is brilliant

My take on this is that Bob never wanted to be put on a pedestal and found the whole scene absurd, much in the same way The Beatles did. He makes music. People can listen if they want to, or ignore him if they want to. It's easy to see why he and George Harrison became friends from this common perspective.

This is great ..... a man fully aware that the God like status thrust upon him was undeserved. A poet? ..... definitely ...... but a prophet? ..... hardly. All Dylan did was describe exactly what he saw in front of his face. Which goes to show how blind the rest of us are.

Imagine Bob gave a straight and direct answer to a question.. that’s a crazy thought.

I love the way he takes no prisoners. He challenges the press every time ...their stupid questions

He knew whatever he said they would just twist it anyway.

Everytime I hear that woman- "you know him, he's yours" I get creeped out- Great footage- It really shows that Dylan has been consistent in his refusal to be what the "image" that developed was and his trying to push back against it. Bob is always "being born" and that IS his art.

Bob Dylan is forever bound by truth and the living word. A song taken captive by the heart in a thirsty desert. Everything about Bob Dylan Robert Zimmerman is honesty's moan of ecstasy.

I'm always left speechless by him. That's it. !!!!

Aside from the sharp comments check out the guitar playing, and the incredible sound he gets on that small Nick Lucas. Dylan is really blazing, and in my opinion never sounded better.

Bobby as mellowed, God bless Bob Dylan.

I forgot , that beside everything else, Bob is a great guitarist.

Everybody should be as awkward as Dylan, the world would be a better place.

Some people are a decade ahead of the times. Some people are 20 years ahead. Some are 50 years ahead. Some, like Dylan, are at least a century ahead. He's STILL ahead of the times. Perhaps 40 years from now in 2060, people will get it.

Dylan learned early on to not get trapped by loaded, steering questions. Some people tried to shape Dylan into something that would support their cause. I remember seeing Dylan on stage in concert with, among others, Pete Seeger. It seemed that Seeger was visibly disappointed at Dylan not chanting some cause or protest.

Bob Dylan is inspiring to many people because he left his home and ventured to New York to do what he loved. He tripped into fame whether he liked it or not. He accepted this fate, so is it just a terrible thing for him to also want to be a person and continue his life? He became who he wanted to be, against the media and the booing crowds. Love Bob for the man he is, or stop watching these videos. Good lord.
