Bob Dylan interview - Anything was better than that!

[onediva69]

Thing is....if he sold his sold to God, he would not have to do anything but believe in Jesus. If he believed in Jesus, he would have just said so. Real Christians who fully believe in Jesus never have to talk about him subliminally. He sold his soul to Satan. God doesn't make deals for fame....grow a brain people.

I met the same guy at the Narita airport in Japan at 4:00am and he was quite cordial.

[macandcheese001]

Where can I find the whole entire interview? Is this from a documentry or something?

[jaredf921]

@macandcheese001 it should be on the 60 minutes web site. it's from November or December 2004, I think

[Txsray]

a mediocre songwriter and no singer at all really.

No need to play down your talent bob.

Just turn off the publicity machine.

[ElGoodo]

@Txsray No need to over play the importance of your opinion, just turn off your internet. Mediocre songwriter is completely false, I don't think that's even an opinion any more, anyone that's picked up a guitar and written a song since Dylan has been influenced by him at least indirectly. Not a good singer? That depends on what your definition of a "good" singer is, I don't think the type of signing on American Idol is "good" but other people too, I'd rather listen to Dylan than any one on AI

[nikolawesthemkg]

can anyone say to me what does he say ??? anything was bettter than what ??? thx

[ohiodixiechick2]

In my post I didn't have room to say Dylan's promise he said was with the CHIEF Commander in this world & the world beyond which is GOD. CK out other comments on the video interview to the right......Bob Dylan sold his soul to the Devil for fame....3:01 min. You don't smile when you talk about the Devil!

[ohiodixiechick2]

I am really going to get slammed for this, but I don't think Dylan sold his soul to the devil. He has always been a faithful believer & we can tell from many songs a well read man of scriptures by all his references to biblical conotations in his songs. I think he made a promise to GOD. When he says he made a promise to the big guy that would have to be God not the devil. God is the almighty power. Has anyone ever thought why he made the religious albums & gave a testimony at those concerts?

[stonecrazy99]

The man is a genius.. really puts things in perspective in this interview

[harleybunt]

Arch Bishop of anarchy is not a bad title could turn that into Chief Justice quite handi ly

[profaneslave]

I'd like to have 24% of the money that went up that nose, I'd retire.

[BornToDie90]

nice all of you... worship this fucking hypocrite... a man who stands for peace, love, civil rights and, well, genocide of the Palestinians... your hipocrisy makes me sick

[drvn8]

@BornToDie90 what are you talking about?  you must have the wrong guy... this man wrote songs.

[BornToDie90]

@drvn8 this man wrote songs about civil rights and freedoms and at the same time was a close associate of Zionist extremist Rabbi Meir Kahane, a member of the Chabab hate organization which promoted zionism and jewish power, and also wrote a song praising Israel's war crimes... a song he doesn't like to be known.... check out ''Neighborhood Bully'' in google

[spactick]

@BornToDie90 sPalestines? you mean Arabs? If you knew anything about the Arabs, they are a tribal people, not a country/border people. get your facts straight.

[yusufak]

where can I find the full interview someone pls link it tnx

[SpaceNTime77]

where's the FULL interview?

[tommyisaledge]

@MsAntiCommunist :

First of all, why are you making wild aspersions about university education ? - the aforementioned "arts" are the gateways to thought and understanding - two concepts that clearly bypassed you. Anarchists believe in absence of any form of government, and many of them are subversive enough to use civil disobedience in what they believe is a protest against the system. Just because someone's views aren't aligned with yours, it doesn't make them right OR wrong. Read some Kant!

[forthome3]

@WeAreBullets Dylan and Self Portrait.

[WeAreBullets]

he intentionally made bad records? which ones were those?

[iheartsoapoperas]

@WeAreBullets I was wondering the same thing.

[FreddyBigMac]

@WeAreBullets read Chronicles Part 1...he explains it all

[lexpar100]

@WeAreBullets Self Portrait.

[CheeseGravyx]

@WeAreBullets uuhhhhhhhhh self portrait

[Pedlingoods69]

@WeAreBullets Everything after blonde on blonde

[amaxamon]

@WeAreBullets Blond On Blond, Blood on the Tracks & Infidels :P He's never made a bad album!

[RayasNegroOvejas]

@WeAreBullets

mainly "Selfportrait" was made "bad" on porpuse

[chimp1965]

@WeAreBullets Empire Burlesque?

[thatsthesameoldshit]

@WeAreBullets If you have any it's those

[2much4mymirror]

@WeAreBullets My guess would be "Self Portrait." That's the only one I can think of, though. That was right around the time when the hippies were bugging him up in Woodstock.

[lewars1912]

@WeAreBullets The bad ones.

[pachacutti]

@WeAreBullets "Down in the Groove, Empire Burlesque, Knocked out Loaded, Under the Red Sky, Self-Portrait" were some of the weakest writing and production Dylan ever did. They are only a few but you cannot do great albums without also doing bad albums. Dylan's greatness has always outweighed his weakness.

[DavelovesRealMusic]

@WeAreBullets SELF TITLED is what he refers to..it ewas a JOKE to him....

[xtrmsprts]

@MsAntiCommunist wait so you're against the liberal arts? no room for critical thought? rhetoric? logic? mathematics? astronomy ? I suppose not because picking up these subjects would be "pretending to be intelligent" ,lol i'm making no claims for myself,little ayn rand. I'm just saying you make yourself out to be a kook when you go and slander freedom-lovers.you silly ole nazi hag,happy halloween, old girl.

[xtrmsprts]

@MsAntiCommunist does Noam Chomsky fit your description of the anarchist? Not one single criterion. FOX-news enthusiasts like you use the word communist like a curse word without having every read a word of academic literature on the subject. Go back to the backwoods and ask your brother to hang a black and take a smiling picture with him, fulfill your fantasy, MsAntiCommonSense.

[KUTVgroucho]

@xtrmsprts Oh please, Noam Chumpsky is the biggest fraud of them all, decrying social injustice and economic inequity and all the while, living in near palatial splendor in the Boston area and on the Cape.

[IZn0g0uDatAll]

@xtrmsprts I find ironic that almost nobody who declared himself opposed to communism I have met could give me a clear definition of what communism even mean. Usually they would answer something about the state controlling everything, not knowing that a communist society is precisely a stateless classless society.

Same goes with socialism, with liberalism, with almost any political notion. People are just ignorant.

[lewars1912]

@IZn0g0uDatAll Very true, lol, but they're happy being ignorant :o)

[xtrmsprts]

"the newspaper changed me overnight into a zionist" WTF , c'mon bob, recognize that the newspapers are owned either by zionists or zionist sympathizers. This part shows that Dylan is just playing the old jewish game of the victim. Yeah, its real victim bulldozing the peoples homes and erecting settlements...

[fischdog7]

Hey in the end you are just Robert Zimmerman...A good jewish boy. Proud of ya Bob! L'chaim!!

[purpleduke77]

Why have you made a string of videos just a minute long? your allowed 10 minutes dont you know.

[tysmove2]

dam so many ppl soul there souls i am ashamed of them

[illgodownswingin]

@tysmove2 hahahahahaha! you are a fool.

[tysmove2]

@illgodownswingin lol sold i meant but you know lol

[tubub]

@tysmove2

lol get real

[bmwileyy]

We are human beings, a life of stasis leads to doubt and desire. He travels because constant change keeps a level head. We are creatures of nature and if you can't see this then i would think you probably dont understand bob dylans profound works of art... I know that i could have written this music, you could have written this music... bob dylan himself knows you could have. People say its a mystery, its not a mystery to me... One day you will realize it too.

[chewlego]

@bmwileyy you say they're profound works of art, yet you say we all could have written his music? are you insinuating that we are all capable of profound works of art, or, conversely, are you making the bold statement that there is no such thing as a profound work of art? because, by using the word "profound", you are suggesting something that is different, separate from the norm - and therefore, abnormal, uncommon, and, by default, not achievable by the majority.

[1337huntard]

wow you people seem to know so much abouy him, you probably are all his personal friends

[elaine31347]

Dylan loved the fame and fortune in the beginning, but it didn't take long for him to see that it came with a price: loss of his own true self and the ultimate luxury, privacy. That is why he dodges labels and hates interviews, as well as keeping a big curtain up between him and his admirers.

Ironically, if he opened up more he could run the risk of familiarity breeding contempt and people would lose interest in him.

I think he has forgotten what a great artist he is now, not just back THEN.

[Doleafol]

@elaine31347

Dyland attempted to demythologize himself with the Nashville Skyline album. How could the counterculture's spokesperson be a country singer who sang about whiskey and love? Then, with Self Portrait, how could the spokesperson of a generation sing bad cover tunes? All he has to do now is do a reality show where we get to see him in his underwear eating Stouffer's frozen salisbury steaks.

[elaine31347]

@Doleafol Too funny! Apparently his life now is on the road performing in various venues, mostly small ones, 10 months out of the year. He travels in his luxury bus/home with his dogs, staying only at hotels that allow him to sleep with the window open...A bit of a recluse. He has said that performing is the only thing he knows how to do, and that is what he does....

[Doleafol]

@elaine31347

When someone is on the road as much as Dylan is, it tells me that he is trying to escape something. He has become a wanderer, a nomad of sorts. It could be that he has an empty home, a loveless home where there is not much for him within its walls.

[1337huntard]

@Doleafol you seem very smart sir

[blueballsredhair]

@Doleafol I don't think it's anything as complicated as that. He's just different as many individuals are. He had a relationship with a woman who loved him (and maybe still does) in Joan Baez, but that wasn't what drove him. The way I see it, he's a musician, a wanderer, and a nomad, not because he had an empty or loveless home, but because that is what is satisfying to him. We have have something that drives us, and it just so happens Dylan is driven by something that seems odd to most.

[AbovePerfect]

@Doleafol You may be wrong about that. Probably, it's not the loveless home, but it's the uncontrollable thirst of a young person for knowledge and experiences. And I am not saying that behind a book, but behind a future, if you know what a mean.

[Domodeath]

@AbovePerfect Are you going to Heaven?

[1956jackfrost]

@elaine31347 I think you (Elaine) have hit the nail on the head and much of what you've stated, Dylan himself has alluded to and sometimes has stated openly. I've been a Dylan fan since his first album in '62 and I think the material he produces now is every bit as great as the great stuff he produced in the sixties -- just the songs contents have changed but so have the times. You examine all of Dylan's lyrics, you'll see that there is not one aspect of the human condition left untouched!
