Thread Name: Dylan's Humour
Subject: RE: Dylan's Humour
Bob was pretty cruel to most of the interviewers in "Don't Look Back". The were asking questions that he must have heard a million times. The one exception was the fellow who sat with him prior to the interview and told him what he was going to ask. He was obviously familiar with Dylan's music, he asked him some very intelligent questions. You could almost see the look of "Finally, someone who has given some thought to his questions". He was very cordial and seemed to relly enjoy the interview.
Dylan's Humour? I thought that Bob was a very funny man in his early years. "I Shall be Free", His various "dreams", "Stuck Inside of Mobile" and many others are some of the songs that first attracted me to Dylan.
I asked him what his name was, and how come he didn't drive a truck, he said it was Columbus, I just said 'good luck'.
