NP: Was Augie March thread, Is now Dylan interview thread, still NP

[Mark Kohut]

Shortly after Dylan's autobio came out, I went to a panel discussion at Book Housing Works in NY about it and
more Dylan whatever. 

One rock journalist---I'd have to look up who---told this story. He worked for one minor rock mag when a young nobody
and he had a chance to interview Dylan on one tour. He did. 
 
Jump to seven years later and he is a bit more established a rock journalist, but still no Jonathan Cott, and he is at a different
music magazine.  He has a chance to interview Dylan again. 
 
And when they get together Dylan basically starts where he left off seven years earlier..almost "as I was saying" .....the writer blown away that he 
remembered him and the interview at all.

yes, that's where I got the details behind the statement.

Can't think how I forgot to mention that and recommend the article,
so I will now!  Well worth clicking on the links.  Looking forward to part 3.

It was interesting to read and quite a saga, and I remember,
having been a young newspaper hound in the 60s, reading some
of that bad press and disapproving of Dylan at first (till the direct
experience of his music convinced me of his worth)
