I just heard. I thought I’d post in case someone who hasn’t heard will know.
I wonder what he has to say. Might be interesting, possibly important. He is getting old, you know.
I’m watching, that’s for sure. I’ll be back. 
Peace,

Anybody else think he was just screwing with the reporter’s head? In the full-disclosure bit, the reporter noted that Viacom owns both CBS and the publishing house that published his book, so I’m thinking that Bob’s decision to do that interview was maybe made with the aid of his publisher.
Well, he wasn’t exactly a new, forthcoming Bob Dylan.
Hadn’t heard about his name being submitted for a Nobel Prize, though, so that was interesting.
He said he couldn’t write like that anymore. Whaddya want?
I hope he gets the prize. Literature intellectuals will be talking about his poetry centuries from know.
The narcariels are dancing in my head.
G’nite.
Any interview with Dylan is big news, because he has refused interviews for most of his career. He has steadfastly refused to explain his songs, too.
Well, I saw the interview, and I thought it was an utter waste of time. Dylan had nothing to say, and Bradley had no interesting questions to ask.
The Dylan interview on the Simpsons minutes later was almost as enlightening.
Why was Andy Rooney wishing Merry Christmas. He says he’s an atheist.
Didn’t 60 Minutes cause a stir by not mentioning the Viacom connection re Richard Clarke’s book? (or was it the ex-Treasury Secy?)
I’m not sure that was really Dylan. Maybe they stuck a Dylan mask on someone (Lesley Stahl?) and told her to give short cryptic answers and that was just the best she could do.
Bradley: “So–you’re Bob Dylan?”
Stahl/Dylan: “Yup.”
B: “How does it feel to be you?”
S/D: “Feels okay, I guess.”
B: “How do you feel about being worshipped by every moony-eyed geek of the past 40 years for gifts bordering on the God-like?”
S/D: “It’s okay if you don’t breathe.”
B: “What does that mean?”
S/D: [shrugs] “If you hold your breath.”
B: “Come again?”
S/D: “You know, those creeps usually smell bad.”
B: "Wow. Speaking of Wow, could you write another anthem like “Rolling Stone” or ‘Positively Fourth Street’ or “Tambourine Man’ again today?”
S/D: “No. Don’t have a pencil.”
B: “Here.”
S/D: “Not the right kind of pencil. All chewed up and all. Used to have plenty of stubby toothmarked pencils, but no more. Ain’t recapturing those stubby pencil days. Have a computer now. Watch a lot of porn.”
My question would have been: “Bob, if you can talk this clearly in complete sentences, what was the deal with the last thirty years of goofball mumbling gibberish you’ve been doing? Did you decide that promoting your book was a reason to drop that loony persona?”
Every time I see Dylan, all I can think is how much he looks and sounds like George Harrison.
prr – your version was infinitely more amusing than the actual interview.
I spent most of the 15 minutes trying to figure out if he really had had permanent eyeliner tattooed on. Doesn’t look like it – or maybe he’s just due for a touch-up.
You guys are still pissed ‘cause he “went electric”, aren’t you. < notice no ?
How, I ask you, can a tambourine man play a song? Eight tambourines?
Don’t get up gentlemen, I’m only passin’ through.
