Dylan kort #4

Baby, Won't You Be My Baby [live 4 juni], staat inmiddels op YouTube.

Audi: reclame met een boel nep-Dylan en een beetje echt op YouTube.

John Tytell - Reading New York [2003]: New York had become an international artistic center, "a dream of cosmopolitan riches of the mind," as Bob Dylan put it. [blz. 286]

Ik heb even moeten zoeken waar Tytell deze quote vond. Het komt uit het interview met Ron Rosenbaum voor Playboy [mrt. 1978]: 

RR: Why did you leave Minnesota?

BD: Well, there comes a time for all things to pass.

RR: More specifically, why the dream of New York?

BD: It was a dream of the cosmopolitan riches of the mind.

RR: Did you find them there?

BD: It was a great place for me to learn and to meet others who were on similar journeys.

RR: People like Allen Ginsberg, for instance?

BD: Not necessarily him. He was pretty established by the time I got there. But it was Ginsberg and Jack Kerouac who inspired me at first—and where I came from, there wasn’t the sophisticated transportation you have now. To get to New York, you d have to go by thumb. Anyway, those were the old days when John Denver used to play sideman. Many people came out of that period of time. Actors, dancers, politicians, a lot of people were involved with that period of time.

RR: What period are you talking about?

BD: Real early Sixties.
