GREAT interview and post... these first-hand stories and context about the artists and gigs from another time and place are priceless... The observation that Dylan seems to be always acutely aware of the people and small details going on around him (while those around him detailing the story perceive they're not on his radar and invisible) is fascinating... this perhaps has relevance to his work as an artist seeing and articulating bigger, monumental truths from the small details 99% miss... He's just so aware of the world around him, absorbing the constant swirl of events, places, encounters and people.

Another fascinating interview! Ray, your interviews are collectively forming a kind of pointillist perspective of Bob that is different from any of the broad-brush biographies and critical tomes. Thanks for your service!
