Epic Time Magazine Interview with Robert Zimmerman

'Tis the season for sharing videozzzz...

Robert Zimmerman, also known as Bob Dylan, in a Times magazine interview. He decided to turn the table and challenge the interviewer. I mean, interviewee? Ha ha. See for yourself. Take it all in. I have a tendency to stand by whatever Dylan says.

CHECK IT:



Thatta' boy, Bob!

I see my light come shining. From the west unto the east.

I would like to share a video. A video that I find very refreshing...

It is Wilco and the Fleet Foxes during a cover of the Bob Dylan song "I Shall Be Released"

ENJOY!



-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here are the lyrics to Bob Dylan's own, "I Shall Be Released":

They say ev'rything can be replaced,
Yet ev'ry distance is not near.
So I remember ev'ry face
Of ev'ry man who put me here.

I see my light come shining
From the west unto the east.
Any day now, any day now,
I shall be released.

They say ev'ry man needs protection,
They say ev'ry man must fall.
Yet I swear I see my reflection
Some place so high above this wall.

I see my light come shining
From the west unto the east.A
ny day now, any day now,
I shall be released.

Standing next to me in this lonely crowd,
Is a man who swears he's not to blame.
All day long I hear him shout so loud,
Crying out that he was framed.

I see my light come shining
From the west unto the east.
Any day now, any day now,
I shall be released.

I'm Not There, I'm Gone

Since this blog is all things folk considered, here's another item that is linked to the "folk world"

I'm Not There, the Todd Hayes movie. Complimentary to that is the soundtrack...

Bob Dylan once said:
All I can do is be me. Whoever that is.

The movie is basically a portrait of six distinguishable stages in Dylan's life. The music. The actors & actresses. It's all there in the formula for a great movie. And also happens to fit the formula for what equals one of my all time favorite movies.

Sidenote: I'm Not There is rated R. You may want to watch it without the kids.
