@posthumanhero So, so true! I absolutely agree with you! Bob Dylan is a total asshole-dickhead-arrogant-bast­ard!!!

[posthumanhero]

no matter how hard people try to be honest with him he won't be honest, no matter how hard people try to respect him he won't respect, no matter how hard people try to engage him he won't engage.......he's a condescending prick who should just denounce interviews altogether if (godforbid) they're so bad for him...........is this supposed to make him cool or add to his 'mystique'?.........this interviewer should just say "'bullocks' your not [that] special you pompous prick: i'm leaving"

OMG stop dissing him, he's a speed phreak, he's paranoid and reluctant to talk.

I really don't dig Dylan after his first two albums, the folky stuff, but u can't talk shit about an artist of that caliber.

If you're positive u can sing Corrina, Corrina better, with more feel, than him, go ahead, diss him, if not, GTFO pricks.

@nikkiejanee1972 yes, i want him dead.

[nikkiejanee1972]

@mazingerZful

you want him;)

Hobo looks like a mess here...i guess after 24 hours of smoking crack your face ends up looking like shit, (or a Halloween mask). I'm sure that's the reason why he's arrogant with the reporter: "the answer, my friend, is written in the dope", tra-la-la. I hope this motherfucker Hobo dies very soon, with a needle in his arm, and his nostrils full of "snow".

Before you all slam Dylan, think about it. Here is this guy whom everyone is seeking answers, wisdom, insight... all things that he can't offer. He's a very private guy who just wants to play music and mostly... to be left alone. The "arrogant" Dylan is just a facade. When you are as famous as he, one has to always be watchful for those seeking money, a story or some other self-serving desire. This interviewer is nice, but imagine how much money this interview is worth.

@MrJamesLongstreet You sound way more arrogant and rude then "Bob Dylan" you types just enjoy being mean!!!!!!

[nikkiejanee1972]

he's not being an asshole...he's just uncomfortable that this guy has a man crush on him...but who can blame him right.

dylan is charming, funny and clever as always

[rickbandana]

In these videos he looks like an ugly and weird motherfucker. Maybe that is why we love him.

[jnc07res]

Sure he comes off like an asshole, but he's obviously stressed out and uncomfortable from the get go, just to be in the position to disclose what he thinks and feels about anything. A more interesting concept would be to examine *why* he allows himself to be put in the interviewee position when its obviously so stressful. The bind, to me, is his desire to speak out but without the cover of song and dance.. this stuff for him Must be 'dancing with the devil'. It's a public/private split bind.

[tricia7773]

that is awesome that he is drawing while interviewing......he is totally in control and giving the media no control.....i am so glad that someone put the media in their  place...and i do pray that the assumption that was made in an interview that he made a deal with the devil........that is not what he says................this man is highly inteligent and just told this guy he is not a puppet for the puppeteers.that means more than some will understand
