Bob Dylan and the Press



This a reason why the video before is funny. Bob Dylan and how he dealt with the press. He had fun with them. How many protest singers are there? Uhh either 136 or 142. The reporter wanting him to suck his glasses. His own fans booing him just because his music had changed. Later, greatly, he takes pictures of the photographers taking pictures of him. Fans calling him a bum and then asking for his autograph. Fame is not all its hyped up to be. He was the complete opposite of The Beatles relationship with the media. Even more so than the Stones were. Dylan went right after reporters. How would you feel answering the same questions over and over again, by people who have never heard your music. Trying to label you or trying to put you into a category, when you just want to let your music speak for itself. A good poet never reveals the meaning behind his works.
