Bob Dylan Bob Dylan 1966 Playboy Interview

PLAYBOY: What made you decide to go the rock-'n'-roll route?

Bob Dylan: Carelessness. I lost my one true love. I started drinking. The first thing I know, I'm in a card game. Then I'm in a crap game. I wake up in a pool hall. Then this big Mexican lady drags me off the table, takes me to Philadelphia. She leaves me alone in her house, and it burns down. I wound up in Phoenix. I get a job as a Chinaman. I start working in a dime store, and move in with a 13-year-old girl. Then this big Mexican lady from Philadelphia comes in and burns the house down. I go down to Dallas. I get a job as a "before" in a Charles Atlas "before and after" ad. I move in with a delivery boy who can cook fantastic chili and hot dogs. Then this 13-year-old girl from Phoenix comes and burns the house down. The delivery boy - he ain't so mild: He gives her the knife, and the next thing I know I'm in Omaha. It's so cold there, by this time I'm robbing my own bicycles and frying my own fish. I stumble onto some luck and got a job as a carburetor out at the hot-rod races every Thursday night. I move in with a high school teacher who also does a little plumbing on the side, who ain't much to look at, but who built a special kind of refrigerator that can turn newspaper into lettuce. Everything's going good until that delivery boy shows up and tries to knife me. Needless to say, he burned the house down, and I hit the road. The first guy that picked me up asked me if I wanted to be a star. What could I say?

PLAYBOY: And that's how you became a rock-'n'-roll singer?

Bob Dylan: No, that's how I got tuberculosis.

Nirvana.

Im looking forward to it, cant hardly wait. I wonder if booze will be involved?

Exile On Main Street - The Rolling Stones

Blood On The Tracks - Bob Dylan

No.1 Record - Big Star

Delta Momma Blues - Townes Van Zandt

Zuma - Neil Young

Bennett was blatantly the catcher, i wanna know what kind of a US special forces unit that was, one geezers austrian and the other ones sounds like a fuckin kiwi

Dunno man, maybe Matrix was a 'power bottom' - he told bennet to put the knife in him after all. Are the rumours true die hard was originally a sequel to Commando? A retired austrian us special forces commander turned disallusioned new york cop down on his luck with marriage problems....

It'd be a toss up who was more Germanic, the villians or the "new york cop" Bennetts the catcher though, with dodgy underground gay club clobber and his fat wobbley arse Surely they could've gotten the cunt to get a few hours in the gym first.

I can just imagine Arnie delivering the line yippie ky yay motherfucker....

Another good one is Riggs V Dalton. Who the fuck would win outta that one?

You don't see John Matrix breaking into tears every two seconds because of PTSD...

True..... but i wonder who was the catcher or pitcher as far as him and Bennet goes.... I mean he did tell bennet to let off some steam.

Man, i just dont know about this one... could go either way.

Your guess is as good as mine man.

Interesting article here. Led Zep are number 5.

Appetite is more like the Stones mate, bluesy sleazy rock n' roll. If Guns sang about 'elves' I would take my cds and fling them in the bin. Have you heard Mr Brownstone? That song is the sequel to Sister Morphine.

I like Nirvana, i think theyre ok. For me theyre totally overrated though and i clearly remember pearl jam being kings of the hill back then. My friends brother was actually going to see Nirvana here in 92 or 93 at a night club but they cancelled. Biggest bands in the world dont usually play clubs. Dont get me wrong in 95 after kurt died they could have filled any stadium in the country. Another thing that shits me is when people call them original, bollocks, they just sort of combined what bands like Husker Du and The Replacements had been doing for years but with slicker production. Imo nirvana are a classic case of the imitators getting all the glory, however i dont think they should be on that list but then rolling stones a fucking joke anyway....

Husker Du

Exile - perfect album for me. Anyone hear Don Was talk about it? Had some interesting observations, how the whole record is just about 'being in the moment' and its a 'zen like record'. Completely agree with him.

Exile to me is like stumbling into a bar in the American South and having some band walk on stage after having a couple at the bar and then playing the most perfect set imaginable where their just having a ball.

Zeppelin? i used to be a fan but kind outgrew them, i mean their lyrics at times are fuckin laughable, and it just seems to be showing off, like look how loud we are! And look how fast and hard i can play the drums, look how well i can play the bass and check out this amazng solo plus i can sing really high! Dont get me wrong though i still theyre not a bad band.

Grant Hart seems like an interesting dude.

I dunno, Yankee Hotel Foxtrot maybe......

Big Star.

I think Nirvana are a good band, not that i ever listen to em or anything but if im out and i here them i dont scream, "Turn that shit off!" or anything. For that kinda band/attitude, whatever you wanna call it, gimme The Mats anyday of the week, imo Paul Westerberg is one of the most underrated song writers of all time.

Even though its from 94 i think, I love the tune you hear in the making of estranged, its just Slash with Axl whistling and humming a melody - beautiful stuff. I think the tune ended up the first snake pit album and it sucked imo, similar melody, terrible production and shite lyrics. Shame what happened with this band. When you think about it that small snippet is the last GNR recording, I'm surprised people don't 'go more nuts' over this. Anyway id love to hear the unreleased stuff from this time.

Shit that video made me laugh.

Elan Street Child.

Slash is incredible here.

Awesome interview. Great read over at that other forum as well.

I've said it before but this board is full of nutcases.

No i dont think he owes them an aplology. The only people, i feel, that axl let down by not turning up are the fans. And maybe himself.
