  • this is great tells him off and Bob is so right

  • what a twat

  • There's no reason to question anything Bob Dylan does. He's Bob Dylan for fucks sake. And no I'm no worshiping him, it's just the truth!

  • He's so fuckin badass...

  • he is speaking circles around that hefty,portly reporter

  • pearl jam twenty!

  • I glimpse at the old Youtube at the end, ahh the memories.

  • I'm not there got the conversations with reporters so spot on, great movie that all Bob Dylan fans need to watch.

  • i'm obsessed with time magazine i read it every week

  • 4:50-4:58.....burn...

  • I sure as heck don't feel bad for the interviewer.....it's not mean if it's true.

  • I feel sorry for the interviewer, but at the same time Dylan's a complete badass.

  • I think Bob Dylan, at the time, was feeling continuously harresed by the press, what led him say some things that other people would understand as harsh and aggressive. In this interview, particularly, he could have been be more receptive... but, anyway, I cannot say I wouldn't do the same as he did.

  • he is beautifullllllll

  • Do you ever notice how the legends - Dylan, The Beatles, The Stones, Hendrix, etc - all told the truth in their interviews? Unlike today where I wouldn't say they lie, at least some don't, but it seems all fake and scripted. Perhaps that's part of the reason they are legends, besides their incredible talents. And even with all of those famous musicians who told the truth, Dylan was on top and always will be. I've never and don't think I ever will see someone so famous be so honest in a interview

  • @bladesofglory12 People are just lest aggressive because they have nothing to be aggressive about. We live in a rather dumb down, passive society where no one really gets worked up about anything.

  • i love to read or hear the words of people with such a huge intelligence like hum... inteligence, honesty, courage...

  • he's absolutely brilliant too. nailing that Time magazine crony to the wall.

  • goodness. he's perfect. can another one exist, age 17 please?

  • @mikhailagirl I'd like one too, lol

  • complete control.

  • He is way to sexy.

  • Bob Dylan is the man. He agreed to an interview only to lecture the man from Time Magazine

  • I am 16 and pathetically in love with Bob Dylan.

  • Is there a reason Dylan agreed to a time magazine interview and then was a dick to the interviewer?

  • @eurotrash1234 cuz Dylan does what he wants.

  • @eurotrash1234

    you have a strange argument there, cause for many people, including myself, that what you call "being a dick" we would call it being honest and say just what you believe in...

  • @hungerstriker27 He wasn't just being a dick in general, I mean personally and unfairly to the interviewer. And it's a question, not an argument.

  • @eurotrash1234 Is there a reason you took the time to search a Bob Dylan interview just so you could leave a comment contradicting him?

  • @StreetsOfWhereImFrom Yes, because I like Dylan's music and wanted to see an interview from his youth... I'm not 'contradicting' him, I asked a simple (and not a rhetoric) question that no one's answered so far... Calm down, buddy.

  • @eurotrash1234 watch a documentary of him at the least. this was a time in his life where the press was getting on his nerves because he felt people were getting giving him a false identity. I saw a bigger portion of this interview and the interviewer asked a dick-ish question and bob went off on him. I think it was something like "do you care about what you write?" anyways yeah people can see bobs reaction to the press as a bit unreasonable but personally i understand his reactions

  • @XtruhSpecialK okay, thanks :)

  • @eurotrash1234 he obviously wanted to make a point and he did

  • @eurotrash1234 He probably figured "ah fuck it, ill do it." Then once the questions came out, he must have became irritated.

  • @eurotrash1234 cause he probably knows what there all about and its a good way to get his opinion on them out

  • @eurotrash1234 cause he can motherfucker woooooooooooooooooooo

  • Comment removed

  • @eurotrash1234 Because Bob Dylan knows that Time Magazine will attempt to manipulate the information they gather on him to create a story. He is a GENIUS

  • What a great dude.

  • I have so much respect for Bob Dylan.

  • b d does not seem an american.

  • that interviewer has the weakest chin I have ever seen... and I love the way Dylan says "folk singer"

  • Bob Dylan is one of the most progressive men to ever walk this earth.

  • I LOVE this.

    The *cough* to break the tension made me laugh.

  • Lol Dylan owns him

  • Shit I live this man. Bob totally destroyed him xP

  • This man is a legend.

  • 2. photojournalism is shown in art galleries alongside fine art photography. it's interesting to note that dylan went on to write a song about convicted killer, rubin hurricane carter. dylan even visited carter in prison after reading his story. the problem with dylan is his song "hurricane" did not get important facts correct--he failed to look at the other side like news sources do--and some believe he helped with freeing a murderer from prison. anyway, it's not one way and not the other--

  • 3. the truth resides in mr. gradgrind's facts and calculations, and it resides in a plain picture or collage of pictures, like a bum puking in the sewer while mr. rockerfeller goes to work. i remember seeing a photojournalism picture of some ghetto scene with tattered run down buildings, and far in the background, a shiny skyscraper of power and wealth. ha, i can make a collage of, say, a bum pukin' outside a stadium, and inside, dylan singing about hardship before a sold out crowd, & a limo....

  • @vinnynumbnuts why are you putting Bob Dylan on blast with your retarded opinions?

  • @imagine27pce yes yes, a rhetorical question i dare say. (ha, what took you so long?) of course, a statement is not an argument, so please show me how my opinions are retarded or illogical or skewed. you might be right. after all, every man, woman has a 'right' to an opinion, but that does not make his or her opinion 'right'. i'm aware of that and certainly am not omniscient. but god forbid i should say something disagreeable on this site about his highness, bob dylan. 

  • @imagine27pce p.s. this might piss you off even more. my last line about my collage of images about bob dylan was basically comin' from c. bukowski, a poet-novelist, sometimes mistakened as being a beat. he was big time weird compared to kerouac and the rest. he once spoke of going to a music concert by some anti-establishment star like dylan. buk came away saying, "but they ARE the establishment." he wasn't condemning dylan & those of his ilk--just making a little correction, no?

  • Comment removed

  • 1. dylan here, kind of reminds me of mr. gradgrind, the curmudgeon character in dickens' "hard times," who demands only facts and not imaginative artsy goings-on; only, it's the reverse with dylan who demands imaginative artsy goings-on like a collage of pictures and has no use for the untruth of facts found in news magazines. but actually, i have seen many plain pictures and even collages of them in photojournalism magazines like "life magazine," when it was owned by "time magazine."

  • @vinnynumbnuts Man, was this interviewer your dad or something so you've gotta defend him? Why are you going so deep into this? Bob just does and says whatever he doesn't even give a shit.

  • @jrgorilla1 a) ain't my old man. anyway, i'll just say i don't find the time guy to be so bad as what others think here; he's just mostly letting dylan have his say and probably making a record of it. but you know, if dylan just didn't give a damn, why does he go through the trouble to talk to this journalist. i wonder if dylan might possibly care in that he felt badly treated by previous magazine articles about him. that would be fair enough, if true. however, i find some things...

  • @jrgorilla1 b) ...said by dylan here to be rather specious and even cynical. you say i'm too deep into this, but what about dylan's pell-mell attempt of throwing in some kantian-like philosophy so as to bolster his case against the kind of truths found in news magazines? his claim that they have no real truths is just plain wrong. sure, dylan is a great musician--i like a lot of his songs--but this does not mean i have to agree with everything he says when he puts his guitar down.

  • @jrgorilla1 p.s. that was my 2 cents worth, as they say. ain't gonna lose any sleep over this. done with this dylan interview. moved on. (problem is i keep getting called back by someone trying to tell me dylan doesn't care...and my thinking is retarded...a waste of time to respond, actually.) anyway, take er easy.

  • The reporter doesnt know shit about what he's saying

  • obviously dylan has a big problem with journalists asking him questions about his art and life as a famous, influential man. i think dylan should've just kept his mouth shut or just said, "no comment."

  • "i just write em...i don't have anything to say about em...i don't have any reason...there's no great message..." ha, i don't know. i'm a nobody poet (dylan was a poet, too, no?) who had about 23 published, and i know it would be disingenuous of me towards myself and others if i told them what i had to say in my stuff is just something i wrote with no message of importance to me and the reader. if i felt that way, i never would've spent all of that time getting it down on paper and sending it in

  • @vinnynumbnuts I think he meant not that there was no artistic message but that there was no political message, not something readily share-able. I don't think he was saying he didn't mean anything, just that his songs were not a part of the generational movement.

  • @ComicallySanePolitic i see. but you know, for eg., when a dictatorship takes over a country, the poets & other artists can get rounded up and possibly even shot. and this, i think, is for the reason that art indeed expresses many kinds of views that can have social and political ramifications. as for me, i'm a nobody who wouldn't get noticed, but a poet-song writer of dylan's magnitude certainly would. he wanted fame, but as they say, "be careful about what you wish for."

  • @ComicallySanePolitic an example of my example would be, say, the cuban poet and novelist, reinaldo arenas who, because of his writing stuff like i do, unintentionally got into big trouble after castro's communist regime came into power. he was tortured, imprisoned, and eventually fled the country.

  • @vinnynumbnuts No question: art needs freedom, and vice versa.

  • I love his eyes' moves on the interviews... they say a LOT

  • I love his self-sarcasm at the end!

  • The funny part is that Dylan IS pigeonholing this journalist. It is the right word for it.

  • "Do u ask the Beatles that?"

  • how old is he here?!

  • @JustSomeGuyOk 24, it's the 1965 tour of England. He'd recorded Bringing It All Back Home but hadn't 'gone electric' on stage yet (see Newport 1965)

  • @TaylorDylan100 damn.. i hope i'm like that when i'm 24 lol

  • Bob is the kind off guy who have clear ideas and who can leave you speechless he's quick and knows what he's saying.. a great personality, he speaks his mind

  • dylan gets pissed at 4:40 when the guy asks him if he cares about what he writes. but after what d. said at 0:20 it's not that odd a question

  • i think dylan is a dick here

  • This says "Interview" but it doesn't have anything to do with an interview.

  • That interviewer wanted to cry.

  • Comment removed

  • Who's the one ass hole that disliked this video?

  • Damn at his teeth! He looks like a jack-o-lantern... Smiling like it's alright. yuck!

  • This is hilarious

  • "I'm not questioning you because I don't expect any answer from you" WIN

  • Anybody know who that woman is in the background.

  • Who wants to go get whipped?

  • It seems as if Bob is interviewing him. 

  • lol i wish someone would do this to someone who worked at the sun

  • Dylan is brilliant. He, long before anyone ever did it, told the reporter of a slime magazine just important they really are...That dumb ass reporter looks like he is suffering from brain loss...

  • @ConservativeInk Fell on his head too much.

  • while dylan is awesome, i feel so frickin' bad for that interviewer, he looks so embarrassed and sad :(

  • @lord0thief I don't think he looks sad at all. I think he's smart - which is why Dylan is even interested in sparring with him.

  • that guy is visibly shaken

  • awesome song writer and huge pretentious douche

  • I felt sympathetic to the interviewer until he made the 'Do you care what your'e saying?' comment.

  • holy shit, he's hot.

  • @girlsailor123 Glad I'm not the only young girl who thinks so. lol

    Also, Bob Dylan knows how to stick it to the man, which makes him more attractive.

  • Everyone thinks we know things, but we don't really KNOW nothing.

  • Wow, he was sooo cute back then - gorgeous AND talented, what a man...

  • @EdNortonisMineLol Oh Yeah!!!! Hot and hot headed with confidence and an I don't give a ....about it. He had a lot to say which came out in all his great songs. He is an Icon as bad assed arrogant that he is!!! LOVE him (then)

  • @lindab30 Hell yeah!

  • so dawn TRUE!!!

  • he was soooo hot!

  • I (used) to get time and I agree a GAGILLION percent with Bob, though he does come off a bit on the harsh side, he's not bein mean, he's just telling the truth.

  • the girl looks like middie gylanhal

  • Historical context is critical to understanding this interview. We have to remember that weekly magazines like Time and Newsweek consistently oversimplified, distorted, and even sensationalized emerging trends in literature and music in the 1950s and early 1960s. Time was particularly notorious in ridiculing the Beats and dumbing down their critique of American culture. Not surprisingly, Dylan was concerned about being misrepresented in a magazine with a large readership.

  • @TheBronxzfinest That point is well made, I'm old enough to remember a report in the Vatican newspaper L'Osservatore Romano in the sixties critical of the Beatles' music, even to the extent of ridiculing their name. Yes, we have to remember the context of the time. Still, I feel a bit sorry for the journalist. Strange to think that I was unaware of this interview at the time, but my future self 45 years in the future would be expressing an opinion on it...

  • @TheBronxzfinest PS - last year L'Osservatore Romano praised the Beatles and 'forgave' John Lennon's notorious claim made in the sixties that the Beatles were more popular than Jesus! How times change...

  • If you read his book, you'll find that he was a political conservative who had been hijacked to be the spokesman for the 60s hippy movement which he did not believe in. He was afraid that if his conservatism became known it would destroy his musical caeer since the hippies loved him. Thats why he was always so combative and elusive during interviews. I find it personally deliciously ironic that the left-wing, hippy icon actually agreed more with Ronald Reagan.

  • Bob Dylan is a joke...that is all.

  • @loopdigga3 agreed!

  • @loopdigga3 Don't call Bob a joke! You're the joke, you're existance is a joke, You're the joke you no one!!!

  • @loopdigga3 your just jealous because you haven't wrote over 1000 songs, your not loved by 10s of millions of people, and not a billionare. Good waste of a life there you joke.

  • He is absolutely fucking amazing. 

  • @unavaliable13 how so?? im just starting in music so im just interested in hearing your opinion as to what what makes dylan so amazing other than the fact that many ppl relate with his lyrics..becuase many ppl relate with my lyrics but im a nobody and i certainly dont think im amazing.

  • Just let me get this straght, Dylan was saying to never to take yourself seriously as a person?

  • Comment removed

  • Bob Dylan is an idol,a true revolutionary,a poet and a sell-out at the same time.

    That's why he's a legend.

  • @fidelpetroupoli A sell out? I'm not much of a historian, but how is he a sellout?

  • Comment removed

  • 1:12 love that look from the girl

  • bob dylan FTW!!!!!!! i love how realistic he was being with the press!!!!

  • As much as I'd want to, I had barely any idea what he was talking about at all when the things he said became so weird and abstract I didn't even know who I was anymore.

  • @skaterskill123 she was recording the interview, according to D.A. Pennebaker, she was trying as hard as she could to look nonchalant

  • I'd like to see the article that came out of this

  • Lol, pull out a clean and ordinary piece of A4 paper. That's propably how it looked like.

  • good messgae from dylan and i like his headstrong anti-establishment. however the delivery was a bit mean, and personal towards the interviewer

  • @oscaroscar11 Ah, the arrogance of youth... wonder what Bob thinks of his young self in this?

  • @oscaroscar11 -- that's defensiveness. it's because he's got one eye on being exposed as the pretentious git he always was. he's quite skilled at evading the possibility.

  • @oscaroscar11 but its the truth they are bothering him its just his free will of toughts

  • haha "im not questioning you because i dont expect any answer from you"
