Where Dylan Does and Does Not Live
I can't seem to get it online but everybody should read the Bob Dylan interview by Douglas Brinkley in Rolling Stone. It doesn't uncover anything new but it's strangely touching and, I think, says something about the man. I would be worth it just for the Bobster's answer to Sarkozy's question, 'Where do you live?' The Zim: 'Right here.... No, I'm joking. I'm from the Lone Star State.' The first answer is always right - where else could one live? The second answer is untrue he is neither from nor does he live in Texas. Throughout one is aware of the strangeness of genius.

A blog about, among other things, imaginary ideas - What ifs? and Imagine thats. What if photographs looked nothing like what we see with our eyes? Imagine that the Berlin Wall had never come down. What if we were the punchline of an interminable joke? All contributions welcome.
it's a subscription thing - I'm happy to take your word for it. Besides, pop music journalism? no thanks.
ReplyDeleteThat's a coincidence.
ReplyDeleteIn lieu of the Brinkley interview there's a recent interview with Bill Flanagan at BobDylan.com.
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure the Bobster is from Minnesota.
