So, I don’t know if Bob Dylan was totally out of his mind or if he was just playing crazy, but this 1966 interview is brilliant stuff.
I can understand maybe a quarter of it all, or maybe a pint; but see if you don’t smile at this reply (interviewer asks if he’s selling out):
What can I say? I’d like to see one of these so-called fans. I’d like to have him blindfolded and brought to me. It’s like going out to the desert and screaming and then having little kids throw their sandbox at you. I’m only 24.
Or the response to the question “what made you decide to go the rock-‘n’-roll route”: Monty Python stuff.
Or… well, you better read the whole thing for yourself. If you’re only a little misaligned, you will enjoy it.
Final quote:
The thing that most people don’t realize is that it’s warmer to have long hair. Everybody wants to be warm. People with short hair freeze easily. Then they try to hide their coldness, and they get jealous of everybody that’s warm. Then they become either barbers or Congressmen. A lot of prison wardens have short hair.
(it strikes a chord for me, as I used to have long hair before it all started to fall).
