(np) Dylan's _Chronicles vol 1_ AuH20

[Jed Kelestron]

Makes one wonder what generation he was the voice of.

Here's an excerpt from an interview that allows Dylan to explain
himself on this and other matters.

---------------------------------------

Fortunately, public access cable channel 731 in Redfield, South
Dakota, secured an interview with Dylan following his “60 Minutes”
appearance. What follows is the transcript of reporter Brad Edley as
he tries to pin Dylan down and set the record straight:

[...]

Brad: Some of the people you wrote about in the book, people you said
you admired might have come as a surprise to your readers.

Bob: Mmm-hmmm.

Brad: Frank Sinatra Jr., for one. And the singer Johnny Rivers. And
Barry Goldwater. The same Barry Goldwater who, you sang in one of your
songs, you wouldn’t let move in next door and marry your daughter?

Bob: See, I don’t know where those lyrics came from. It was like a
hand of mystery came up and wrote them down while I was payin’ the Con
Ed bill or somethin’.

Brad: So were you disappointed when Barry Goldwater lost the
presidency to Lyndon Johnson in ‘64?

Bob: Yeah, sure. But then,
If you think I’ll let Lyndon Johnson
Move in next door and marry my daughter
doesn’t rhyme so good. And, Even Barry Goldwater must have to stand
naked is an image no one was ready to contemplate. Too ahead of its
time, I guess.
