Dylan Speaks

History marks 1965 as a pivital year for Bob Dylan. His album Bringing It All Back Home had moved him away from his folk roots and he was getting set to write my personal favorite, Highway 61 Revisited. '65 was also the first time his single "Like a Rolling Stone" was ever heard as well as the first year Dylan performed live with an electrical guitar. So to address all of that--and promote 5 shows in California--he held a press conference in San Francisco. The legendary interview is now available as a dvd called Dylan Speaks, and at least for now can be seen on Youtube. So check it out here, quickly, or click on the picture up top.

Of note: During part 2 of the interview a reporter asks Bob "if you were going to sell out to commercial interests, which one would you choose?" To which he replies only "lady's garments." Skip to that part about 1:15 in during this clip. Of course he DID go on to promote lady's garments, more than 40 years later for Victoria's Secret in this commercial. Oh Bob.
