Title: New, very long Bob Dylan interview Post by: rn57 on March 23, 2017, 08:45:09 PM https://bobdylan.com/news/qa-with-bill-flanagan/
The former editor of Musician: Player And Listener magazine talks with ol' Bob. The opening third of it focuses on his recent albums of standard, including the new 3 CD set, but then comes a torrent of questions covering a lot of unexpected topics, and Bob has plenty of interesting and at times funny answers. It's been quite a while since a Dylan interview got this in-depth. Title: Re: New, very long Bob Dylan interview Post by: pixletwin on March 24, 2017, 06:52:44 AM Good interview. Thanks for posting.
I always thought the "Jester" in American Pie was referring to Mick Jagger. Title: Re: New, very long Bob Dylan interview Post by: Chocolate Shake Man on March 24, 2017, 07:02:55 AM I always heard the jester was Dylan, but I don't quite agree with Dylan's interpretation. The court jester is part of a tradition of people who challenged and critiqued power; however, they did so from within power. Maybe it's the latter point that Dylan objects to, but I don't necessarily think that it's the worst comparison that could be made.

In that case I think Dylan fitted the bill nicely back then. I thought of the joker as kind of a fool... I guess I think Jabber is a fool. :lol |
