  • Dylan is a stone wall when he wants to be. But that last line, "Ain't that somethin'?" ROTFLMAO

  • bob dylan is a folksinger and poet. what pushed him into fame were millions of people who thought he was this "spokesman for a generation" and "prophet". once dylan realized that he was famous because of these absurd titles he knew were false (after all, I think someone knows if they are or arent a prophet who directly receives a revelation), its only natural that someone wouldnt want to answer questions from the very people that fed the fire of the misconstrued image people created of him.

  • i don't think whitney houston saw herself the way others did. i think many folks elevated to this level of fame feel the same way.

  • @infamoussero 'rock' IS folk. it became 'loud folk' ever since it dropped the "'n' roll" bit at the end.

    yknow, when it got real white...

    : )

  • When Bob says "isn't that something?" at 1:05 I have always been tempted to think he was putting this interview on as if it was all a game to him and he was just playing with the press. By the way, I met this interviewer at LaGuardia Airport and he was a cold snob.

  • @infamoussero folk rock. It's still rock

  • somercet1

    I too had to LMAO when I heard that line!

  • I think they bumped Ed Bradley off, or I maybe wrong.

  • .......... ushering in the new era of antichrist. Is he responsible for allowing himself to be an instrument of the darker forces? or was it all in just good fun.

  • Incredibly HONET and truthful interview..Dylan is speaking from his Soul here...when he says "Aint That Something" that people did not hear the songs...he means they made their OWN assumptions about what he meant by his early songs..but Bob never dicussed the meanings o when he says "Aint That Something" hes saying--You had me WRONG..your 60's never really existed.

  • @somercet1 i was thinking the same exact thing.

  • Bob Dylan is one of the greatest lyricists of all time. He spoke of the here and now. Just enjoy and think.
