Bob Dylan on his childhood ambitions (No Direction Home)

from Martin Scorsese's "No Direction Home"

[JCridford]

"I was born very far from where I'm supposed to be - so I'm on my way home."
Perfectly encapsulates why people love him, and how so many people feel.

"The bravest are surely those who
have the clearest vision of what
is before them, glory and danger
alike, and yet notwithstanding
go out to meet it."
Thucydides

I can jump back into any time period of this man's life and find total empathy. That feeling of being present but not supposed to be there. As much a brother as a kindred soul met along the highway.

This is the most engaged, least pretentious, honest interview I’ve heard of Bob. He’s eating better, less weed, older. Pleasant to hear.

It’s crazy how 10 year old Bob Dylan looks exactly like Bob Dylan

[zoomonkeydotcom]

Everyone wants to make this dude out like he was some kind of super hippie ... he was not . He was more James Dean or Billy the Kid ...

[HelianaSuper]

Oh, my God! In 1950 I was a baby with one year old.... Bob is so gorjeous in this video...

[Iazzaboyce]

I find Dylan is fundamentally honest, but I don't accept anything he says as being factual. He has an unusual imagination and he talks in pictures and tales.

[philkonestos]

Westpoint didnt want him, so he wrote songs against the masters of war. Seems legit.

[shuddupeyaface]

So good! Lucky we are. We will miss them when they are no longer with us.the

[RoryM]

Does anyone know who sang that version of drifting to far from the shore?

[vincentdefeo]

Iconic, Elvis Dylan, Beatles thats how the rock revolution started, never to be the same its sad son, very sad, cause we really could hear what they have to say about these times were living in, with covid 19, policebeating up the brother, people going hungry, loseing thier jobs etc.and all the politicians trying to do nothing, but worry about thier own, yes bob the world it is changing!!!!

"Some people are born to the wrong parents. That happens, you know?"

[Dana-wqtp]

It always struck me as odd how Dylan disowned his family. Never talked about them, there's very little information about his mother and father or siblings. Other than knowing where he grew up, his childhood is a complete mystery for the most part and once he got to New York, it was like he was reborn into a life where it was only himself. I wonder if he even bothered to call home and talk to his parents when he started his career?

[gandalfshakur]

I already in the direction he's but without the financial buffer

[JamesChicken]

im just so goddamn depressed, i dont know what i'm doing

[godswordjesus]

if the video were made now during COVID they would be wearing a mask, and the video and your comments would be completely different. the important thing to do throughout history and from this point forward is, "Do what Jesus tells us to do and we will be okay."

[lukewarme]

West Point didn’t allow hippies to join.

The more I hear Bob Dylan being interviewed the more I realize that he's not the "genius" that everybody makes him out to be. He sounds, to be honest, full of it and full of himself.
Despite that, I do like his music.
