Bob played in Canberra, Australia, in about 2001. I saw him having a coffee and smoke outside of a cafe down the road from where I lived. I was going to say something and he looked at me as if to say, so I thought, 'go on, say something original's. I closed my mouth and nodded respectfully and he returned the nod. I read Chronicles when it came out in which he wrote that he liked to meet strangers and jam. Big regret for me as I lived up the road and had several guitars and amps. I wish I had of been brave enough to speak to him. None the less, I shared a nod and that was magic. Thanks for being who you are Bob.

I met Bob Dylan while working night shift at a hotel in KCMO where he and his band stayed. As was the case most times famous people would wander down in the middle of the night when it was less busy. There was a piano in a lounge just off the main area near front desk. Several musicians including Jon Waite and the like, would play piano for 2 or 3 hours with no audience and no one really knowing who they were.
We knew they were there and while we weren't allowed to approach they, in Bob's case, he simply came down at 4am and struck up a conversation. Being night manager, I could move us to the back office. He was quite talkative and explained the stories behind several of his songs. He was just like you and me only he was very lonely it seemed. I could've listened to him for hours. I only had up until the next shift arrived. That was too soon at 7am.
He was a perfect gentleman, I will add. Thanks Bob. You signed every album I brought. They were my older boyfriends, and you were his favorite songwriter singer.

Joan Baez' song about her relationship with Dylan is called "Diamonds and Rust" NOT "Diamonds." It was also the name of the album. It was a top 10 Billboard hit when it was released in 1976 and rose to #5. It is considered her best composition.
I am constantly amazed at how videos like this make really ignorant statements indicating that, with all the technology available, they can't take literally 2 minutes of searches to find and report accurate information.

âI laid on a dune, I looked at the sky
When the children were babies and played on the beach.
You came up behind me, I saw you go by
You were always so close and still within reach.â.
Growing up I was more into the sound of the music than the words of the song⌠till I heard Dylan (and the Beatles). This whole album is wonderful and the song Sara paints a perfect picture in my mind.

Interesting little video. I live in Greenwich Village and my friend owns a bookstore across the street from where this photo on the album cover was taken. he had a few photos from that very day he showed me. He was, and is a good friend of Bob's. I got to know most of the guys in The Band over the years and have been friends for decades now. The Village is the place dozens of guitar players came into being. Hanging out in WSP playing around the fountain and other jams in the neighborhood are always fun.

I've listened to Dylan's music my entire life. It's played pivotal moments in my life, songs shared between my lover and myself over 40 years. And i can tell you, they can say what they will, but the passion that connects Joan and Bob, is tight...has stood the test of time.
Listen to Diamonds and Rust. (By the way this is what the bumbling narrator was trying to refer to here, gee do your homework)...."Well I'll be damned, here comes your ghost again, but it's not that unusual"....
"Speaking strictly for me, we both could have died then and there".
You can only write lyrics like this when your mind and heart are in sync with each other. They very much loved each other. In the PBS special mentioned here...for Dylan to apologize to "Joni", after so so many years, that's a heart that's held onto passion. If only â¤â¤

I grew up, listening to my brothers blasting Bob Dylan
I Albums, since I was very young. I know every word of every song on every album. My brothers and I went to all of his concerts in NYC I always wish I could have met him. ⤠Iâm 65 years old now, and still one of his greatest fans. During those years, though, my oldest brother Charles, also introduced us to The Band & I Phil Ochs. Their music is what I listen to most all the time.

Outside of knowing he sold his entire catalogue, the rest of your content was News to me. I only know he was a prolific Songwriter and many of his works were hits for other artists. âMy Back Pages,â and âMr. Tambourine Manâ by the Byrds, âIt Ainât Me Babeâ by the Turtles, and the Amazing rendition of âAll Along the Watchtowerâ by Jimmy Hendrix. I actually remember the first time I heard âLike a Rolling Stoneâ in the Summer of 1965. I was in my backyard getting my gear ready for a Boy Scout camping trip. That song blew me away from the very beginning! And over 6 minutes long?!!! Thanks to KRLA in Los Angeles for playing it!!! I have never tired of the song either. Canât get past the lyrics and the organ parts! On a personal note, my Sisters favorite artist was Bob Dylan. She actually got to meet him at Cal Berkeley. I was on the phone with the nurse that told me she was just leaving this earth. What are the odds on that one? After telling my Wife and young Daughter that Aunt Susan went to Heaven, we turned on the TV, which happened to be on MTV and âKnock Knock Knockinâ on Heavens Doorâ video was playing!!! This was Jan 1, 2000. Iâve never met Bob Dylan, but I will ALWAYS be connected to him! Thanks again for your great work Mr. Blaine! â¤
