It’s been a rare occasion if the elusive Bob Dylan has ever divulged much information in an Q&A, let alone even accept the possibility of an interview. Bill Flanagan somehow managed to produce an 8,000-word piece with the hugely influential musician. Dylan talks about everything from friendships, missed opportunities and iconic musical moments.
There are stories about meeting Frank Sinatra, vetoing a recording session with Elvis Presley, his mourning over the deaths of other iconic legends such as Leonard Cohen and Muhammad Ali. He even goes into what music he’s been into lately, praising artists such as Amy Winehouse and Iggy Pop for their latest efforts.
The whole interview is a marvel to behold as a Dylan fan, and even if you’re a bystander that wouldn’t devote themselves as a Dylan follower, it’s fantastically engaging. Make sure to read the whole piece on Dylan‘s website here.
