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.
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.
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...
@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
@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
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....
@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?
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.
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.
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 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...
@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)
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.
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.
@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.
@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.
@WarningRules He used to sing for civil rights,working class,against racism,and other truly inspiring songs...Then he saw that by making remarks against protest songs,he was embraced by the mass media.Hell,singing for Victoria Secret?Being a born-again Christian?These had nothing to do with the absolutely amazing fDylan,in albums like "The freewheelin" or "The times are a-changin" or his more poetic, amphetaminic "Highway 61 revisited","Blonde on Blonde".Look at him now,singing Christmas songs.
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.
@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.
this is great tells him off and Bob is so right

@WarningRules He used to sing for civil rights,working class,against racism,and other truly inspiring songs...Then he saw that by making remarks against protest songs,he was embraced by the mass media.Hell,singing for Victoria Secret?Being a born-again Christian?These had nothing to do with the absolutely amazing fDylan,in albums like "The freewheelin" or "The times are a-changin" or his more poetic, amphetaminic "Highway 61 revisited","Blonde on Blonde".Look at him now,singing Christmas songs.

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

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.
