Bob Dylan interviewed whilst he draws the interviewer, 1986 

People say that Bob is a difficult man to interview, Bob is totally his own man, a wise man, a highly intelligent man, a hard-working man, a man of many God-given talents which he uses to the full and passes onto the people. He is the only singer songwriter production songs that are equal to what he did 6o years or so ago, Yes Bob is the man

Bob has the talent for leaving interviewers being lost for words, amongst welding, drawing, performing, and writing. He's a Don, and the poet laureate of rock'n'roll.

So awesome that Dylan was a visual artist almost as much as he made songs!

This is my fav interview with Bob.

He's as true as they come !

Let him keep on working, let him put one foot in front of the other. He is driven to work. He has proved it by still working in his 80's. He seems to rest only by taking up another creative effort for a while. He is not slothful, does not waste energy. He is remarkable in this way. I have admired him for all my life.

My favorite Dylan interview ever. He's never going to give them an inch. He knows it's their job to try and it's his job to not give in so he just goes with it and I daresay even enjoys the process. Turning the thing around by drawing the interviewer is a genius move and the drawing itself turned out pretty good. I think every interviewer (and this happens during other settings like courtrooms, interrogation rooms) tries to get a subject to agree to a set of assumptions - implicit or explicit. Bob knows this game and he's way out in front of it. So he's the cat and they are the mouse and they can't really figure it out most of the time.

Kudos for Bob staying in his right brain so well!

he is so ultra there

Dylan responds to interviewers differently depending on the quality and depth of the questions...this guy's questions are the typical type they usually ask him - enigmatic and unanswerable shit and he often will sarcastically play with the interviewer and turn it around on them by asking them the same type of ridiculously unanswerable questions.... If you are familiar with Dylan and his interviews it's easy to see why he was reluctant to give them when this is the type of crap he would be forced to respond to if he did agree to an interview... If I had 30 minutes to ask Dylan anything I wanted to I would surely make it count... But either way, I definitely enjoy listening to him talk and the ending scene was definitely cool 😎

"We're making a documentary on Hearts Of Fire WITH special reference to Bob Dylan".... Bob Dylan: EXACTLY!

Thank you Bobby!

Really great.

Pretty unique interview this one, Bob drawing you while you interview him

Ty for this!

Amazing interview !

Those eyes.

He looks good!! And smiling, witty and laughing

Bob looked great during his eyeliner days, lol 😁

The media really are like vampires.

10:48 "That's extremely flattering" 😂😂😂🤣 Can only imagine what the guy really looks like...

who is the journalist?

12:48 Bob predicts grunge.

This was in my hometown?!

Why didn't the reporter ask for that drawing? 😕..That was a very good picture and probably worth a fortune now.

Jaysus I love him

Him and Keith Richards looking kinda similar at the time

That beautiful moment at 14:05 when Bob's face lights up at the mention of his ex-wife's name. Seems to me he still loved her. (Sad it was actually a crazy delusional lady)

isnt that the guy from bbc hard talk?

Every body is a puppet master....

24:54 his next line should be "did you say its shit? Or you should"

Why is Bob signing autographs with his left hand? He plays a right-handed guitar. Is that really Bob or a celebrity imposter? Hmmmm?

13:25 - 13:27

I will be afraid of that guy

He's coked up to the eyeballs here. The constant sniffing, the involuntary jaw movements... The intense stare...

"whilst" - ugh

Don’t quit you day job Bob...

First to comment

hmm...he looks miserable. :(
