Bob Dylan and the Press

[Basanti1990]

could anyone tell me where is this clip taken from?

[FuckYourself15]

he's so right, i don't think people should have a reason for things of these effect. honestly.. how are you too explain you're music and artistry- not mentioning you're popularity? he's a humble man, and true artist.

[MrPipis1992]

STOP ACTA

[LukeCageforhire]

136 is the exact number at that time. now I could only count 52.

[kermicheo]

good man. I admire musicians who put all their thoughts into their music, but when asked to elaborate on those thoughts they just say whatever shit like they don't give a fuck. they let their songs speak for themselves. wish I was that way. It would be pretty awesome.

[Skatolotodo]

Bob owning the press!

[philpritchettphan]

"my role is to stay here as long as i can"

(smokes cigarette)

[xxxnwahsxxx]

he DESTRYOED that one girl haha

[zhulia]

"you said about 136 or exactly 136?"

"it's either 136 or... 142."

[MrGawman]

Dylan could of really ripped into that guy

[skuzeskinw]

@lionsome fuck off again you piece of shit! how is he arrogant for being modest of his music and words? someone who was arrogant would say he was when asked if he's the voice of a generation or say his music is the best when he seemed almost shy when talking about his music....

[VirtuosicElevator]

00:34 WTF!?!?

[CTCstoopid]

@VirtuosicElevator hahaha

[JackBurrows231]

@lionsome Fuck off.

[winddancer1562]

I loved hearing the mature Dylan comment on his younger self. The man has aged remarkably well. Thanks for putting this together.

[jrgorilla1]

1:28 that girl must have been so happy that she made bob laugh :)

[freedomflashing]

0:12 "equivalent photograph"? I think you mean equivocal there boss

[ginchygrrl]

@freedomflashing

I think you mean significant there boss :-)

[TheoTsanas]

pause at 0:35 LOL.

[hashamulhaq111]

i swear cigarettes were longer back in those days! or is it just me???

[glovemonkey]

best Dylan line ever "i see myself as more of a song and dance man"

[matthewjamal]

such dumb questions. bob was a true artist. only a true artist has absolutely no idea how to answer such dumb questions. he dealt with it well too.

[bassist448]

HAHAHAHAHA 0:35!!!! WHAT THE FUCK???? HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!! "I thought about it a great deal" *Licks lips all stalkerish*

[violentvelvethat]

i love you, bob dylan. i am just 16. i wished i was born earlier! i wished i knew you this time!

[Xsupermounty]

Wow i feel like I'm watching an interrogation. Poor Dylan

[yesihaveacleveruser]

Possibly the creepiest thing I've ever seen occured at 0:35

[razumfrackle]

"do you think your songs have a subtle or obvious message"

I think listening to Dylan is like watching clouds. You might see a bunny, or a sail boat, or a political anthem, but when all is said and done you're still just looking at clouds.

[Angelpt91]

what a stupid questions...

[UniversalCaitlin]

His laugh. omg.

[locovel10]

He is very well read

Direct questions were answered directly

And indirect questions were answered directly with humor

I like Dylan like Zappa. Their interviews were more entertaining than their music

[beckbeckbeck]

@locovel10 you really think that this is more interesting than dylan's music?

[locovel10]

@beckbeckbeck yes that's exactly what I wrote was your comment incredulous?

or did you want me to expand - - this is an honest and nice response to you so I don't get Lost in Translation and get caught up in a 100yard post (which I'd never do)

so, if the latter, then yes I'd rather listen to their interviews than their music- I am simply more entertained

haven't heard that opinion before? yes it is true.....

[eckleburg22]

@locovel10 I agree with your post to this extent: there is something magnetic about Dylan which is beyond his music. His voice, his mannerisms, his looks - eccentric yet interesting and attractive.

[beckbeckbeck]

@locovel10 well, it's quite strange to me, but of course it's your opinion. enjoy your future interview watching.

[evilfinchman]

that guy was really scary XD

[Milliarca]

He's obviously high

[azzaboi93]

@Milliarca I think you're right Mr. Holmes.

[TheWop4life]

what fake laughs by the media...its so annoying

[chubbycrow]

do you think of yourself primarily as a singer or as a poet? ...

Bob: i wou-rather think of myself more as a song and dance man y'know..

people : WAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

those people would kiss his ass with tongue if given the chance.

[HaroldsCatsRevenge]

what a phoney old heeb

[dhislexic]

what documentary is this from? i'd love to purchase it.

[msgpoker]

@dhislexic "No direction home"

[seeandbelieveagain1]

@maxpowers518 it's for playing guitar, you pluck the strings with them instead of using a pick (finger picking). i have them, too. :)

[maxpowers518]

3:45

Jeez, with those long nails, Bob has hands like the witch in the Wizard of Oz.

[maychild100]

i love how he never pretends to have all the answers <3

[synysterjazmyngates]

My brother just saw this and said, "Oh is that the interview where the creeper licking his lips is like, 'I want to stick my dick in your ass' and Bob is like, 'Oh have you thought about that a great deal?'" I laughed my ass off when my bro said that!!! XDD

[seeandbelieveagain1]

Now if I ever see someone lick their lips again after 0:34, I will need therapy... Bob was pretty hot though.

[3habaneros]

he is timeless , he sounds like he could have been answering the questions today , but the reporters sound like they are from a totally different era , amazing 

[dieBerggoas]

146!!! Haha

[alienshe0]

the laughing is so exaggerated!

[MsPassenger7]

@alienshe0 You're right, usually people only smile even at a good joke when they're in public!

[SoadMind87]

@alienshe0 Either that, or in those days people found things funnier.

[rio197]

LOL pompous questioners FAIL, Bob hilarious.

[synysterjazmyngates]

The creeper has thought about Bob a great deal. Bob better hide.

[glovemonkey]

@synysterjazmyngates people like him make me wish i never had kids!! Bob "people like motorcycles" Peado " i do"

They should  have ended the interview after he liked his lips and admitted studying the album cover for a long time

[synysterjazmyngates]

@glovemonkey HAHAHAHAHHAHAA XDDDD

[H7Johnson]

The reporter at 0:35 is fucking hilarious!

[doctormarmalade]

It's strange that someone asked about the triumph t-shirt, as dylan almost died when he rode on one a few years later

[forthewin36]

For such a sweet face, he has such a deep voice.

[Batmanwaffledog]

He's soooo cool

[erazero]

the reporter at 3:55 sounds like an old woman

[Beatlemaniacaa1]

@erazero hahahahahahaha xDD

[blackyblackblack505]

Artists are such beautiful emotional wrecks.

[prativaaa]

he's sooo baked! 

[HearWithoutPrejudice]

his mannerisms remind me of Prince (its a good thing - too legends)

[punkvictim]

there are some beatles interviews like this too. it's the power of of not answering stupid mundane questions and making the interviewers look like the idiots that they are.

[Lan5in6]

This was disliked once by one of the interviwewers...seriously those questions were retarded

[jaysmithbiatch]

wow...the people over 30 were stiffs back then...wtf?!?!

[IHaveAMask]

@jaysmithbiatch If you've noticed, over the generations the actual maturity of a person, has slowly been pushed back. 

[jaysmithbiatch]

@IHaveAMask i agree... the obvious decline of society...

[cikonuric]

I clicked 1 dislike hehehe, but i like the video, but i like the red color more ! :D hehe

[IHaveAMask]

@cikonuric It was kind of cool, it was one of the only videos I had seen with so many likes that wasn't extremely popular, and 0 dislikes.

thanks.

[pinks4men]

@cikonuric Your Cool..

[aushom123]

bob dylan was not the voice of a generation he wrote those songs because he was around alot of folkies at that time and he new how to tap into peoples feelings with the lyrics he wrote.He was really in touch with the mood of society in america at that time and his public image became distorted because of the songs he wrote.He went electric to lift alot of weight off his shoulders and as an artist he had to grow it was inevitable...

[maxpowers518]

lol, Bob just pwns all those Mad Men-type smart asses!

[velvetinetable]

i love how he doesn't take things to seriously. He's just like the coolest human being

[AnAddictsEmpathy]

Bob is amazing because he is so real. He doesn't play to the phoniness.

[monkeyturdman7]

I think if anyone wants to know the what he was talking about in "Ballad of A Thin Man" they should just look at themselves.

[venakew]

Anyone else notice how ridicously fast his grew in that week?

[Venomkey]

the rezon he looks so sleepy is cuz he has rubbed his eyes so much he has big bags under his eyes. usually cuz of allergies etc.

[heldinahtmlhell]

@Venomkey Very true. The smack probably didn't help either.

[gus305]

What a bunch loser , all smoking , most of them dead ! now because of the time but because of that stupid cancer stick !

[801Current]

@gus305 Bob Dylan's alive, he smoked cigarettes and marijuana regularly

[ConstantineRobbins]

HEW LOOKSS SO SLEEPY!!1

[MLBuckProductions]

Press 1 over and over... Pedooooo

[thekingbeyondthegate]

"It's either 136 or 142" lmao!

[NinkasiDelight]

HE IS AS HIGH AS A GEORGIA PINE

[MrHomeChef]

Genius talks to room full of cows.

[electric23sand]

he's like a good professor answering a bunch of questions from bad students. stop saying he's stoned. he's just a tired chill dude. some people just have stoner eyes, like sicilians.

[manwithouthat44]

Why do people think he's shy ???

[robertpisarek]

I can confirm he was stoned here hence the shyness and odd physical behaviour. A genius!

[bearsfan10883]

@robertpisarek that's just the way he was... hes very aware of what other people are thinking, whats motivating what they are saying, and hence the nervousness and behavioral oddities. You better think twice if you think he got high all the time. Alright that's enough. you get the point.

[kyannac21]

1:28, damn he's sexy.

[davidbaldo]

The "movie magazine girl" is my favorite

[macandcheese001]

How old was Bob in the press conference?

[Cristojosh]

@macandcheese001 24 :)

[satinhell818]

where is the girl now?

[ChrisssThomas]

ive seen this video a good few times and i could have sworn the guy at the start was wearing a hat

[TheBeatlesNvrDie5]

@ChrisssThomas ME TOOO! 

[imastermyblade]

Somehow throughout most interviews with Dylan' I feel that he must've found some kind of enjoyment with ALL the media and reporter's attempts at labeling him and he being him' heh'

[TheBeatlesNvrDie5]

I feel bad for that girl with the bow! She was cuuuute! It's nice that Bob let her down easily.

[peccece]

He seems like a very shy person.. but a genius! :)

[shimwah]

How about 'I was just writing songs about things in my life and events that were happening around me. Sometimes I just played with words and made things up as I went along without any particular agenda in mind' Why doesn't he just say something like that instead of being so coy and vague. He acts like he doesn't understand why he wrote half the shit he wrote. They say Genius's don't know how they do what they do. Perhaps that's why he can't answer a simple question, the guys a frigging genius.

[BuckLA84]

i like how everyone thinks that everything Dylan does has to "mean" something... the poor guy just wanted to write songs and sing! geeeez! he's so annoyed!

i love Dylan sooo much!

[werobanks]

MOVIE MAGAZINE!  I like his switch from a cowboy to a pulp fiction character - both have their interestingness

[alizarin89]

Christ, that 1st interviewer!! lol!

[ABmxFilm]

press 1 a phew times to give yourself nightmares

[PMDevien12]

The guy at 1:39 laughed wayyyyy too hard. lol

[Spectic]

Oh, we all like motorcycles... to some degree...

I do.

[jaesoan]

That 1st interviewer looks like a pedophile fuck...

[slye1991]

there was alot of nervous laughter in that room

[abbyleigh321]

Exactly 136 people. He counted.

Or maybe 142, he can't remember very well.

[blessiththechily]

they dont even know that hes really just laughing at all of them.... and how stupid and lame everyones questions and statements are. theyre just so in awe of him cause he can make cool sounds and tell great stories. grow up people

[12bulkhead]

@ 1:37 OK, let's see him dance, then,

[synysterjazmyngates]

His voice is still sexy. Even at 69.

Hahaha.

[BungalowBill0816]

hahaha we was so sarcastic with the last question. he's just screwing with the press because he knows they think he has all the answers. gotta love him.

[powergirl901]

Eve of Destruction was written by PF Sloan, not Dylan. But his songs did carry a message too.

[MichaelBallack91]

0:55 - 1:30 that was funny haha. It was almost like she expected Bob to answer that way. Like she was embarrassed to ask that question haha. everyone thinks he's got some secret message in his songs, and maybe he does because his lyrics are truly genius, and there are many different interpretations...But Bob will never tell haha. Like in that Time Magazine interview he says the same thing lol.

[jerryhello100]

"You want me to jump up and say hallelujah and crash the cameras and do something weird ..."

He wanted him to pull a Tom Cruise.

[itstonymannn]

the guy who asked the question at 4:32 took like 25 seconds just to finish his question lol, and used such odd words

[rangerbsh]

90 percent of these questions are all fail because he just makes it clear to them they don't know what they're talking about.Amazing.

[megachrismc2]

0:35 to 0:37 creepy

[ruderrrr]

@megachrismc2

I was just thinking the same thing !

look at him so passionate...so SICK !

AAAH!

[RyanLeach123]

@megachrismc2 hahahahha

[thekingbeyondthegate]

@megachrismc2 That "look" = "Maybe, I shouldn't have got that picture tattooed all over my back."

[boatofcoins]

@megachrismc2 absolutely

[ItwaterDAME]

@megachrismc2 Like He wanted to take a piece of him.....................hehehe­he

[beyondblues]

If you keep hitting 1 while watching...ultimate creepiness

[TClundy]

@megachrismc2 lmao!

[arrudakid05]

I love this man.

[ElnaCopper]

bob, u love twisting wigs, u did what we wanted to do, but tried not to.

[Yinnzio]

"It's either 136 or 142." Hilarious.

[nutsbutdum]

@Yinnzio It's weird, because the minute the reporter said "how many", I immediately knew he'd answer that way:)

[StellaOmega]

@nutsbutdum yes, and you can hear one lone, quickly muffled, giggle out of the audience-- one person who got it....

[geniemist]

I bet Cate Blanchett was studying this video -.-

[plumberleyland]

@geniemist That movie was soooooooo bad

[DavidofThe]

This is wonderful

[lelobest]

Clever guy, Bob Dylan
