So enjoyed that story. I was lucky enough to interview both George & Bob & I can sooooo identify with the initial "holy shit" feeling upon meeting them....and it turns out, if you talk to them honestly, things go well.

You had me hanging on every word. I've heard many different stories from you over the years but this takes the cake! The fact that you ingratiated yourself to Dylan is a miracle in itself. Nice music bed at the end, btw, one of my favorite George songs.

Hey Smokie, 68 yrs old in England, i love Dylan anecdotes, and always had great respect for him, i had a message the other day from hom, but i think it was fake, why would someone do that, does he ever txt people out of the blue, you seem like a genuine kind person. Nigel.

Thank you for telling me about your time spent with George and Bobby. I met Bobby too, we were both still quite young. I guess he hasn’t changed. I wouldn’t know, but for what I read and in his music & lyrics, as I haven’t had a chance or an opportunity to see him since, in 50 years. Sadly …as I fell in love with him too, surly…for so is his pull on choice hearts. And is true of woman that gazed into “those eyes” and found depths of love unknown to them …❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥 “we never talked much anyway” “Some people you never forget, even though you only seen ‘em one time or two.” “Poet in “”the puddle’s”” of his heart” Lydia 🕊💕🕊

Rich, such a delightful, heart warming, heroic human soulful story! I love your heart & your friends too remembering we are all human, we all have needs & wants. You explained how his music impacted you but your sons even more impactful, which in turned was Bobs prayer & hope that his music or any musician (worth their salt & light) reaches the next generation. Thank you for sharing with us all.

Why did Dylan take to Rich? Actually it's not complicated.. I'd say Bob Dylan is shy and inhibited, he lives within and is uncomfortable in his own skin. This man made him feel comfortable no perceived threat, he picked up on his energy and felt relaxed around him. The same happened with George. Some people you meet are like that. I picked it up in this man and maybe that's why he was sent.?

I have been a big fan of the Beatles and an amazing follower of Bob Dylan with his incredible poetry and his amazing songs. George as a single performer did not have the same power and change as Bob or the Beatles. His voice and lyrics were amazing but not life changing or world breaking new ground. An ordinary performer taking his power base from his part of the Beatles. My Sweet Lord stands out and will always be a favourite of mine. Life changing Dylan has extraordinary power and inspiration to the world.
