Its like interviewing a cat

Interviewing him is the ultimate nightmare of a journalist.

he is a GENIUS. I met him in cleveland, ohio on july 17, 1991. he was very nice to me. came over to me and shook my hand. did not say a word to me.

Wrote incredible songs, influenced a shit load of bands / artists and the dude introduced The Beatles to weed, what a legend.

Imagine an artist nowadays having an importance and influence on culture that was grand enough to hold a press conference and all in attendance would actually care deeply about what they had to say.

Man he is practically eating those cigarettes

Never saw the press ever laugh as much .😅😅 They clearly enjoyed the interview.😅😅

I came here for some Atomic Science and riddles & rhymes answers.

I love how the first dude is trying to be so smart and analyze dylan, and dylan's just annoyed

I remember when I was 14 and all my friends were just crazy over Bob Dylan. The man could write some amazing music.

OMG, he was so cute when he was young, he had incredible lips...and his way to laugh and trying to hide it sometimes, his being so nervous, full of life and his attitude generally....his way of kidding most of the time...I love it!

A lesson in the art of speaking cryptically. Never answer a question directly and avoid being labeled, even positively. How Dylan knew not to get involved in all the drama of the times is beyond me. The level of discipline is rare, ESPECIALLY for a guy in his early 20's. Fun to watch!

This is incredibly clear video and sound! Thanks for sharing.

"I want to needle them" is the most revealing answer to me, in that he (uncharacteristically) answers quickly, directly, honestly, and meaningfully. Makes you reassess those songs. Rewatching some Bob after seeing Complete Unknown.

At 11 I refocused my attention to Dylan instead of the Beatles.   Happy I did. Loved the lyrics immensely of all his songs.  My classmates couldn’t understand me!  I didn’t care. I just kept listening and enjoying my favorite singer for all my life.  Saw him 3 times.  Such great memories.  At my age 71 I still appreciate his music.  I loved his voice also because it was so genuine.  Keep it rolling Bob! ❤❤❤.

Such a genius, this young guy. What a chill press conference, everybody smoking and laughing.

One of THE best things on youtube ever. Thanks to whoever posted this.

12:07
Reporter :"What do you think of Donovan ... is he a good poet of love ballads?"
Dylan: "No.  He's a nice guy though."
Boom, roasted.

At around 6:07, when he is listing his favorite poets -- it's an amazing list -- he names Allen Ginsburg, the then-famous author of a book of poems called Howl.  A few seconds later, the camera rests on a balding, glasses-wearing, bearded guy in the audience. That's Allen Ginsburg.   No lie, for a second I thought he was David Cross via time machine. But no, that nerdy fellow is one of the greats

What`s impressive about this is that Bob is still alive after 70 years of smoking!
