I beat you in number of Dylan viewings (4) but you definitely win in celebrity conversations. All I can offer is Barry Manilow, and I can't exactly brag about that one.

Have the audio on my comp at home. Have you found any other similar footage? Saw Dylan twice ( two nights consecutive ) in Eugene summer of 96'. VM twice in Wales over the summer of 99'. Even lucked-out & met the man himself for a little chit chat following the gigs. The whole thing was really quite surreal

That whole video is surreal???? Bob must be stoned to death!!!! That is one of my fav. songs and Morrison still rings true even if it appears he is lipsynching.....But Dylan, laughing my ass off watching him on it. It actually looks as if he has a gun to his head (off screen). But thanks, love anything with him in it. ...........

Bob Dylan makes disc jockey debut

Dylan's weekly show airs on Wednesday in the US
Music legend Bob Dylan has embarked on a new career, by becoming a regular DJ on US satellite radio service XM.

The 64-year-old singer is presenting Theme Time Radio Hour, an hour-long mix of songs based around a central theme.



The first show featured songs inspired by the weather and performed by Jimi Hendrix, Judy Garland and Muddy Waters.

Listeners found the icon in uncommonly chatty mood, commenting on Dean Martin, the weather in "windy city" Chicago and Hendrix's "gentle side".

"Into each life some rain must fall," he remarked at one stage. "Trouble may be waiting along the way."

He signed off with the words: "Until next week, you are all my sunshine.

"If you think the sun is too hot, just remember - you don't have to shovel it."

'Hand-selected'

According to Lee Abrams, chief creative officer at XM, Dylan has "complete creative freedom, both musically and in terms of what he says".

The first show premiered on Wednesday on XM's Deep Tracks Channel.

"A lot of my own songs have been played on the radio, but this is the first time I've ever been on the other side of the mic," said Dylan last year.

According to the station, Dylan will not play his own material on the show but "music hand-selected from his personal collection".

How does it feel ... to be 65?
Many to celebrate Dylan birthday -- though maybe not Bob

Tuesday, May 23, 2006 Posted: 1606 GMT (0006 HKT)


Bob Dylan performs at the New Orleans jazz festival in April.

NEW YORK (Reuters) -- Bob Dylan has announced no plans for his 65th birthday on Wednesday, but around the world and in the hometown he couldn't wait to escape, the musician who has insistently resisted labels will be celebrated as the voice of a generation.

Dylan's spokesman, Elliott Mintz, responded to questions about Dylan's birthday and touring plans by saying only that he had passed along the inquiry.

But a new compilation book of Dylan interviews has been published for the occasion, radio stations from Norway to Australia will air salutes, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame has mounted a special exhibit and in his hometown of Hibbing, Minnesota, residents are baking cakes in hopes he may return.

The singer-songwriter who is also an author, filmmaker, actor and, most recently, radio disc-jockey has changed his name, religion and musical styles along the way. He has sometimes shocked his fans but always kept them guessing, while writing culture-changing songs like "Blowin' in the Wind" and "Like a Rolling Stone."

"May you stay forever young" was his fond wish for his audience, and "He not busy being born is busy dying" his credo. At retirement age, with hundreds of songs and nearly 50 albums behind him, he is still constantly touring, with a European swing about to begin.

"I don't see why you can't last as long as you want to last," he is quoted as saying in "Bob Dylan, The Essential Interviews," edited by Jonathan Cott.

"All I can do is be me -- whoever that is," he says.

The book traces Dylan's progress from a kid besotted with 1950s rock 'n' roll to a young folkie who gave voice to the anti-war, anti-racism youth movement of the 1960s.

He quickly renounced the title "protest singer" and became an electric rocker on a personal exploration of Christianity, Judaism and many other issues of identity.

"The second we all think we get to know him and what he stands for, he throws us a curve ball," says Warren Zanes, of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum in Cleveland, Ohio, where the top two floors are devoted to "Bob Dylan's American Journey: 1956-1966."

The 15-week exhibit, which just began, includes a high-school yearbook in which senior Bobby Zimmerman tells the girl who sat in front of him in math class how pretty she is -- and how he probably will never see her again.

Hoping to see him again are the folks in Hibbing, where the Dylan Days celebration started informally in 1991 at Zimmy's Fine Bar and Restaurant -- "the world's only Bob Dylan tribute bar and restaurant."

There will be concerts and readings, a bus tour of Hibbing and a one-day-only opportunity for fans to get their mail stamped with a special U.S. Postal Service design.

And of course there's birthday cake. "We have cake all over town," said Zimmy's co-owner Linda Hocking. "We'd love to see him here this year," she said, adding that this was the first year Dylan was not touring during "Dylan Days."

The Internet is also Dylan country. One Web site, Expecting Rain, http://www.expectingrain.com/, compiles 10 to 20 items per day of interest to Dylan fans.

With an 850-entry "Bob Dylan Encyclopedia" due in mid-June, the fascination with Dylan shows no sign of letting up.
"It's hard to believe he's a senior citizen because he really is 'Forever Young,' even when he's cranky -- and he can be cranky quite a bit," said Cott.

Who Was That Girl? Bob Dylan Asks In Brazil

SAO PAULO (Reuters) - The normally taciturn Bob Dylan was moved to words on Thursday night when a young Brazilian woman rushed on stage and hugged him during a concert in Sao Paulo.

The American singer-songwriter is known for saying very little to his audience between songs and if he does it's usually an incomprehensible mumble.



During the encore of his second show in Sao Paulo, a long-haired woman ran on to the stage and embraced the star. A startled-looking Dylan hung on to his black Cordoba hat before a bouncer carried her away.

At the end of the song, he spoke to his fans for the first time in a two-hour show. "Thank you, friends. And I'd like to thank that young lady for coming up and joining us on stage."

Then he started chuckling to himself and said: "Where did she go? I want to give her my hat. Don't let her get away."

It was not known if the two did eventually get to meet formally.

Dylan is currently on tour of Latin America with dates in Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay and Chile.

I always thought there was a connection between Jim changing his name to Roger and this: 'Her name was Magil and she called herself Lil
But everyone knew her as Nancy'.
