I too found his comment about no longer being able to write the songs that everyone hails as "his best" to be revealing. The boring part of that statement though, is he seemed so unreflective about it.

Like I said, nothing we hadn't heard before. Dylan seemed mostly bored with the interview himself, so it is no surprise that others found him boring as well.

I guess for you Dylan devotees who hang on his every word, this was just another tasty fix. But from most peoples' perspectives, it seemed dull and not very illuminating of the man or his canon of work.
