Bob figured it out years ago and I'm sure he is still figuring it out today. He didn't buy into celebrity. He loves his family and loves his friends and wife and god and that's that.
@@karlconnolly3994 he’s done 3 commercials, first one for Victoria’s Secret, second for Chrysler and the third for IBM and a language program they developed, he’s only allowed one song to be licensed for a commercial, a cover version of “The Times They are a Changing” was used in a Bank Of Montreal commercial. I wouldn’t call that vacuous advertising lol. He learned how to handle his publishing rights at a very young age and the trappings of the business side of music, after finding out his long time manger Albert Grossman was getting 50% of his publishing rights, he got a lawyer and forced Grossman to renegotiate his contract, then found another manager and left Grossman. He’s smart with his handling of business for himself and I’ve heard both Jakob and Jesse say he helped them a lot by teaching them the business side of show business. He just sold off all his music to Universal for $300 million which as also a good business move, he’s 79 and sweeting his family up nicely. Can’t fault him for any if that. He’s written over 400 songs and is one of the most influential American artists, he’s always shied away from celebrity and has kept himself grounded in his music, painting, welding and a weekly themed radio show. Before the pandemic, he was still in the road doing shows 150 days a year and just released a new album. I don’t think he’s ever cared much for celebrity, it’s just part of what he became as a jusucan and singer.
@@sspbrazil Everything you said , I know. I am a big Dylan fan, have been for over 35 years... advertising is vacuous and only exists to promote and profit, its a con that’s researched to the ninth degree to tell us the biggest lies... it’s despicable especially for a great artist such as Dylan to sell his art to promote big business, banks, cars and booze... zero integrity max profit makes for a husk of a man/artist... immoral greed is ugly af. My relationship with Dylan the artist is badly damaged since he went and sold his art to the highest bidder... I thought Dylan was one of us... while in fact he’s one of them... I can’t explain my disappointment.
Geniuses are often detached; being alone, studying one's surroundings and rationalizing them in a historical context is often what sets them apart from we mere mortals. Bob knows that "Like a Rolling Stone" isn't the greatest song ever (I hope he knows it 's right up there). But the man realizes the moments of generational adulation are brief. Dylan, always one to find inspiration from those who came before him, understands the context of these ridiculous polls. P.S. - Thanks to Ramblin' Jack for always being so understanding of Bob and sharing his insight with us, and thank you for this post
Very interesting insight, thank you! I wouldn’t have put any of that into that perspective before. Now that you have given this that light, I have whole new way of viewing things, and the way those things relate to one another.-LZ
Amazing how even before listening to this, or even if someone asked me randomly on the street on any given day-I'd have said Like A Rolling Stone as well! Gave me goosebumps how I heard it in my head in those very moments leading up to him saying it!
I think it's just a survival skill since people will impose so much on other people or intentionally attempt to manipulate them emotionally. There is little trust left.
Bah! He's just some song and dance man, happens to be my favorite one of all time, who I've listened to more of than the next top 20 combined. But so what?
Mr. Dylan has the opulence of renunciation....that's the hard one to acquire. The other 5...strength, fame, wealth, knowledge & beauty...are easier to acquire.
Bob has no compassion, nor any values ... and right there ... within that limitless void of NOthingness, is the pure expression of ... Unconditional LOVE.
The way I'd put it; is that Bob Dylan--despite being (in my opinion) the baddest ass in folk and rock 'n roll history; has always been a most reluctant hero. At once he sees both the notoriety and irrelevance of being famous. Couple that with (IMO) his sentiment that fame is not only worthless, but bothersome--he is both the most elegant, thoughtful, poetic, remarkable performer--while in his own mind, worthless. You and I know this is insane; but I see his point of view. We're all a product of our time. FWIW--I can CERTAINLY identify with Bob Dylan's sentiment. . . . . and not for nuthin; but I'd be his personal caretaker and butler until the end of time. I'd ask for no pay. I'd do it simply for the opportunity of being at his side. (Which to him, would make me everything he despises.) Ah, the irony!!
It's like you want him to dance but he won't dance. I get it though. I am an optimist and have enjoyed any recognition I have had but don't strive to be " Employee of the month." It is more about the doing.
Sounds like BD knows his songs are not his. Good stuff, inspirerad ”downloads” come from God/Being/Love/Universal Intelligence. Heard him say that à couple of times. Here he points out that acomplishments are temporary so that is extra cool of him I must say. Happy for him and happy for us. Good vehichles rock...
Hi 🙋🏻♀️, I’m just accepting my spirituality and learning to embrace it wholeheartedly, mind, body and soul. Would you be willing to share with me what ‘LARS’ is? I would love to know, and appreciate any help you are willing to throw my way. -LZ
We as humans shouldn't be attached to anything on this earth except turn to Jesus Christ. Wealth and belongings can not save us from sin, only HE can. Houses and properties can not free our minds to be happy, but Jesus Christ can make us happy forever. He said:"I am the only way to the Father. I am the light and the truth and the way. The one who believes in me will surely not die but have eternal life!" .

Victoria Dylan but we are not in Rome...
He also seems to love money with his vacuous advertising for banks and big businesses..man can’t serve two gods.
He hasn’t been married in years. Lol. He’s got dogs, he loves them.

BD has a fairly consistent perspective, doesn't he?
No he did a complete U-turn on advertising.
power and freedom in detachment

That's our Bobby.

Echo. True. Precisely.

Phil Granito what is opulence of renunciation ?

Why’d you make it seem like Dave Van Ronk was interviewing Bob Dylan

Ah, the irony!!
freddiemercurious might have to do with his midwest upbringing
It seems he is aware that everything is "temporary", as it really is!!
But those albums he wrote and recorded in the 60s & 70s will last forever, for me and plenty other fans
He is the greatest Jewish Sage.
The rabbi "vomits"
He’s Christian now.

@@craftycriminalistwithms.z3053 Like A Rolling Stone, my dear!~E
this guy read alot into that comment..
bob dylan is a prophet..
He’s the trickster.
I'm being bad.
because he knows where those songs came from. Went down to the crossroads and made a deal with the, um, Chief commander.
dummy
He pulled a Robert Johnson I suppose
Isn’t he saying his ‘papa’ made that deal? I am not saying I am right, just asking.
Bob Dylan does a Great version of "Dixie".
Detachment
Prophet of a generation? How so? Prophetic about what? I'm a huge Dylan fan, but why do people mindlessly repeat that? Try an original thought.
Dylan has always had eternal bed head smh....basically he was born with it.
show him the money...
Then you became old
I love Dylan's music but always thought he could be a bit precious and pretentious
You leave out that Bob chose Jesus.
IS DYLAN GOD ???
God wouldn’t do advertising..that’s the devils work.
He's just a song and dance man.
Aren’t we all
This man said he was the prophet of this generation.
No he wasn't! He was and still is a singer/poet.
We as humans shouldn't be attached to anything on this earth except turn to Jesus Christ. Wealth and belongings can not save us from sin, only HE can. Houses and properties can not free our minds to be happy, but Jesus Christ can make us happy forever. He said:"I am the only way to the Father. I am the light and the truth and the way.

who cares what the world requires when you said what the world requires is when i disliked your video. your message is wrong.
