Bob Dylan: San Francisco Press Conference (Dec. 1965) 3/6

[TerrariumFusilage1]

Anyone notice Billy Graham?? He asked what bands who cover your songs do them the most justice?

[mazingerZful]

Hobo should appear in an anti-smoking advertisement, showing the risks of cancer (and brain damage). By the way, i really feel "enlightened" by Hobo's wisdom and wit in this interview. He's so witty and funny that i'm still laughing.

[Oallright]

Cigarette after cigarette. How is he not dead?

[mussman717word]

@Oallright

God doesn't die, by definition.

[samlittle94]

he soundes blazed as hell, hese a legend though

[9999bigb]

I don't think that girl at 7:07 was impressed with his answer haha. But he still made her smile.

[butterf1yz]

Lol, "a constitutional replay of mass production"... i think he went for the most absurd definition he could find.

[TerrySleeper]

This is interesting because it contains bits which are often left out of edited versions of this - ahem! - seminal conference.

Bob Dylan really is trying to answer questions seriously, but the questions are so naff that he ends up taking the piss. In doing so, he (unconsciously) undermines the whole scenario of this (and other) forum.

Nice one, Bob!

[hellogoodbye753]

God, the undertone deepness in his voice is so arousing to me. Ugh.

[rjpra2]

i like how he calls them disk jockeys

[fuzzballzz36]

@rjpra2 That's what everyone used to call them in the '60s and '70s.

[thomashjorthaab]

Freeze out? Has it ever been released, or is it released under another name?

[ralfsu]

@thomashjorthaab "Freeze Out" was released under the name "Visions of Johanna" (most likely taken from Kerouac) on his "Blonde on Blonde" album. There's a heavily bootlegged early recording of it titled "(Seems Like a) Freeze Out".

[thomashjorthaab]

@ralfsu Thanks alot for such a quick answer. Is that early version possible to find somewhere?

[ralfsu]

@thomashjorthaab It has only appeared on either 'Blonde on Blonde sessions' or 'The Genuine Bootleg Series' neither of which have been released. I actually had it , but lost it. :/ Hope it will officially see the light of day soon.

[Fodvorte]

@thomashjorthaab it will all be released in the next coming years.

the Genius is in his face, his eyes, never mind what he say, everybody feels it, that´s why he´s a litle bit nervous (and everyone): he´s still not ready for this, but he enjoys it of course. maybe i´m absolutly wrong

[jerryhello100]

When he talks about symphonies, I think he achieved it with Sad Eyed Lady of the Lowlands. That song does the same kind of think as Beethoven or Wagner. When it goes 'my warehouse eyes my arabian drum", there is a sound directly after that makes you fell weightless, and then he swoops in with "should I leave them by your gate, or sad eyed lady should I wait."

[HearWithoutPrejudice]

hes so beautiful

[finchy633]

Dylan is high here, hes licking because he has dry mouth. A soda is required!

[synysterjazmyngates]

He's always doing things with his mouth when he's in thought ^^ Biting his lips, licking them XDDD It's cute.

[BeatlesFanCharsh]

@synysterjazmyngates YEAH!!!!!!!!!! I love when he does it!! I'd like to give his lips a bite myself xD

[fuzzballzz36]

@synysterjazmyngates Amphetamine addicts always lick their lips. It's a common habit and he was pretty wired in this period.

[davidbaldo]

Allen Ginsberg's question is by far the best
