Song originally written by Syd as a teen during the height of Bob Dylan mania in Europe (pre-Pink Floyd).
During the recording of one of his solo albums (post-Pink Floyd), Syd was reminded of this track by producer David Gilmour & encouraged to record it. That tape stayed in Gilmours possession for 30+ years until released in 2001. In "Bob Dylan Blues", Syd not only composes a song poking fun at all of the Bob Dylan hype, but manages to do it in Bob Dylan's own talking blues style!
The music video is by director Jimmy Lee. It was made during his freshman year of college at Temple University in Philadelphia. This was his first attempt at editing a video on a computer.

so unhip, when you say Dylan he thinks you're talking about Dylan Thomas

Cool Syd You too were a talent

@jonathan1994ish1 You're telling me Dylan wasn't a bit egoistic in the top of his career? He was, something wrong with that? Doesn't take anything from his music. Syd wasn't mentally stable, are you gonna tell me he wasn't? So what if he was? Doesn't take anything from his music. I hate people who think all their idols were perfect people. Mine's sure as hell ain't, they're human.

Syd saiu do floyd fisicamente, mas a semente foi plantada e o floyd não seria nada daquilo que foi, se ele não estivesse passado pela banda.
VIVA SYD BARRET!
