I'd be petrified to have Bob Dylan draw a picture of me, staring again and again with those stern, scowly, dagger sharp eyes.

fucking hell man, what a wise dude. thank god for people like bob. society would be utterly fucked without minds like these

An interview that originally looked as if it was going nowhere, then Dylan opens up, and gives some deep perspectives.

One of my favourite musicians/artist. Dylan is temperamental and brilliant 😆👍🏻🎸

"Machines are making the music. Have you notiiced how music all sounds the same?" Dylan said this in 1986! It's a thousand times worse now.

The interviewer did well here to find a topic that Bob wanted to talk about then NOT interrupting him.

You can hear Dylan's confidence when the interviewer asks him about the drawing and he says I don't like it, "but I'll get it right"!

When you go see Bob, you just take him the way he is. He plays what he plays and you either like it or you don’t. I know cause I’ve seen him three times in concert.

Pretty sure he predicted the grunge/punk rock of the 90s here....

Wow, he totally predicted grunge!!!!

This is true my heart, In the 80s it was true all machines, In New York City in the Ritz, massive same music, Love you Bob Dylan

oh god, imagine having a drawing of yourself by bob dylan

I love watching videos of him getting interviewed he always gives the interviewer a hard time

Dylan is really having fun in this interview, putting on the interviewer. The way he turned the table on the interviewer by drawing him during the interview was hilarious. “Do you know what I’m talking about.”

When the interviewer said he met "sara dylan" Bob said "jesus" under his breath probably thinking he was about to ask him about his ex-wife.

My late father loved Bob and we listened to his music throughout my youth and still today I love him

the reason he was ignoring the interviewer in part 1 is because he nervous and uncomfortable...hence the drawing but the more time goes by....he talks more and gets more comfortable with the guy' he's sooo cute!

He was so right about kids going back to acoustic in the 90s holy cow

This is his and quite possibly the greatest interview any artist has ever gone in my opinion

"the machines can only do so much." That's great.

I am so impressed by his ability not to completely lose it given the ridiculous questions and insinuations along with the woman in the back telling Dylan his sketch is "good, that's good" like a grade school art teacher or my old auntie.

Two months after this interview Guns 'n Roses released their first album. This is what he was talking about. Real musicians doing real music.

If you are wondering why Bob looks so fed up and miserable in this clip, take a look at the film he was making at the time, Hearts of Fire. Then you'll know why.

This is a great commentary of Bob Dylan ❤ Elizabeth 💞

You know when the interview’s over and Bob’s alone he says to someone: “Can I get some more markers? These are all woorn ouuut. Just tryin to make these doodles. While I’m giivennn this INTERVIEWW. Same talk same hairstyle. Since nineteenth sixty TEW.”

Thanks for this amazing interview...

Holy crap! Dylan perfectly predicted the Grunge movement of the early 90s in this interview. He knows what he's talking about. :)

for a while he was right, the 90s had lots of good music, especially the early-mid 90s, then it regressed to the manufactured state it is today.

'NOT 4 ME..I DON'T PLAT THAT GAME'.. There's no 1 that I'd spend ANY time listening...let alone HEARING, what another says being interviewed OTHER than BD...always straight up..true blue. Young girl long ago & traveled w/every BD album from NY 2 CA.& back again..75 yr.'s young now w/a whole Lotta respect 4 BD since it was a rare time you'd get dialogue let alone tapes 4 us 2 hear/view . MAKING MY DAYS amazing...This is my 1st cell ever so u can imagine how great this is 4 me.

Its sad that I come from the generation where "all the songs sound the same." :( I wish we could all go back to when music=art. :(

Imagine having Bob Dylan do a sketch of you wow.

Nothing but love for you Mr. Dylan - thanks for sharing your mind.

I love the trailer Bob! God, that was so long ago. I also love the way you think. We only own our souls. Money has nothing to do with that. No one can take that away because it's all ours. Thank you for sharing what you love with us. Your inspiration has touched our souls.

He's cool with metaphors! Choosing to draw the interview in the first place, then the interviewer asks him if he likes what he has drawn and he answers that there is a bundch of thing he don't like about, but he will get it right! Lol, like he is working on the interviewer, basicly somehow softening him or reschooling him. Not that i think he is preaching or beein holy and all that stuff, just giving him a human face - he is even drawing him quite loveable somehow :)

Music never found the same in the Motown era,,,, These were pure musicians.... Pure writers ,pure singers.... From Aretha to the Jackson 5..... From Smokey to the pee funk.....lol All were sure and pure......

3:00 "In 4 or 5 years, that's all gonna turn around." 4 or 5 years later, NEVERMIND... yeah, Dylan was right.

"too many songs sound the same now".... I've been saying that for YEARS!!! lol

wow he defiantly predicted the 90s alternative scene

The BIG problem with today's music is that all of the best & live musicians have been replaced by computer generated music. We need to put talented musicians back to work again.

Drawing the interviewer is how he takes control of the situation. Look at his posture

He predicted the return of real music in the 90's quite accurately.

shit he predicted the grunge movement. I hope there's another change in music

He is right about the music.

2:37 relevant to today as well I think!

Dylan predicts grunge in a way around the 3 minute mark

The 'mock concert' referred to by the interviewer was a scene from the film 'Hearts of Fire, involving a performance by Bob in character as 'Billy Parker'.

this was in 86... after 4 or 5 years grunge came in... this guy was tuned to whats going on

Bob sure is good at what he does...as artist in many ways

Those hands are so lovely to look at.

There is only one Bob Dylan. Don't judge him.

86 I left Ireland. Went to liverpool that July.

i totally understand that.....there's something extremely interesting about him that goes beyond music....he's just so badass. i'm only 19, its strange to have a crush on him....but the minute he starts talking...it's like wow

how the hell did bob dylan know that, 4 or 5 years (1990/91) from the point which this interview took place that music would change... bob said the kids werent listening to the music in the mainstream (aka madonna/poison) and kids were listneing to older stuff like for example kurt cobain was (older punk bands and the beatles/led zeppelin etc). and that these kiids wuld change music and Heck bob even said it will be exciting and fuck It was!

Country music still has good songwriters..

Dylan, just Dylan, what more is there to say

very enlightening interview

This whole part of the interview could have taken place yesterday.

God blessed us with Dylan

He is drawing down on you man!

also, he's drawing because he's brain is always being creative...he can't turn it off i love how he holds up his picture.. like a little kid waiting for them to say it's good:)

he kinda predicted punk/grunge coming back in the late 80s/ 90s

I like this man.

The only time EVER Dylan spoke on camera 😁

The reason he gives for why he makes music is interesting. Years before this, the writer Flannery O'Connor gave the same reason for why she wrote.

Love his drawings...

A magnificent songwriter ...poet.. He speeks with music and poetry.... Why all this questioning about What????? Finding out who he is ...what he is thinking about...... Lalla tralla... Forgett it.....

Bobby, unsere Augen ähneln sich sehr!

Hard to believe this is 25 years ago!

He's on something for sure. Buddy tries to interview him and he draws his portrait. Hilarious

He predicted grunge but grunge only last a few years. The state of music today is flat out dead. There is no zeitgeist.

The Ballad of Reading Gaol.

Sara Dylan haha that made Bob’s blood curdle..

''Whent to the seclution of his own little kingdom''!! HAHA, Bob surely knows Bob!

@salsburysteakjr oh please...freeze frame at :37 he's sweet face looking up for approval of his picture...he looks like a kid there

he drawing and doing the interview....he's talking to him and answering his questions...just not in the ordinary way other people do.... but he's doing the interview people . and drawing the guy (he should be flatter that he's drawing him...it's nice)

I love his out look on life you love me or hate me he doesn't give a shit 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿👍🎸😄

"In four or five years, it's all going to turn around" - yep, it sure did. You could say this was prescient - but I guess even in 1986, the signs were there. In 1991 we got what the press called "grunge" - and that spawned alternative music after. But what Dylan talks about regarding synthetic music, having no ... history ... well, it went and got one - the machines got better, but more importantly, the _use_ of those machines got better - and it went and got that history. The important thing being the _creative_ use, by humans, of those tools. He was 45 at this time - and hell, he looks it - hard life, I guess. 31 years later, he's still touring. Still touring - the never ending tour.

Hes for sure on something. buddy trys and interview him and he draws a picture of him. hilarious

I'd like to have an interview with Bob and maybe sign my guitar but I would really like to have a talk with him...just you know talk not interview but like a "Hey how are you doing?" kinda talk. Just simple stuff.

I love the Sara Dylan part.

cool drawing ..i like that

This man is a puzzle to say the least.

I'm sure I posted a comment about 10 years ago..maybe 100,,I dont know

i totally agree , songs today sound all the same.

At this point he does it to keep from dying. Retirement kills.

He was right, when grunge turned things a few years later.

This guy has nearly an hour to talk to Dylan and this is the shit he says?

He is right about the 'synthetic' music these days,.. The music back in the 90s was interesting,..But now many of the musicians from that time are in their 30s & 40s and have stopped making interesting music. Today i find music coming out totally synthetic. I can't even bear to turn on the radio. Not to discredit good musicians out there, ( i'm sure there are many), ..but they are just not being heard.

Would the BBC ever cover such again?

Interview on tv tonight

100% yes!

he predicts pop music, dance-electronic music more so to

Bob is being modest about his money. At the time of this interview he was eating bars of gold and pissing champagne...and then lies about it.

how cool

Liebster Bobby, auch FALCO musste ja schon feststellen, dass Mitarbeiter schwierig werden können.....Aber alles gut, alles gut!

Sad that the turnaround he speaks of still hasn't happened :(

The interviewer sounds quite intimidated.

he looks older but he has that same sexy cute dylan voice

pop = popular music so I am using it in the context of what era I am discussing.

0:42 "It's about to change" Yeah, it got even worse....
