DYLAN SPEAKS — TO BRADLEY
New York Post
November 24, 2004 -- BOB Dylan, the great American Bard, will appear on "60 Minutes" — his first television interview in more than 19 years.
Dylan sat with correspondent Ed Bradley for 90 minutes last Friday while on tour in Northampton, Mass. — the interview is slated to air on Dec. 5.
In the broadcast, Dylan talks about his career, fame, his difficult relationship with the press and his relationship with his father.
The singer has recently written a memoir called "Chronicles Volume One" and it is believed that he agreed to sit for the interview to help sell the book.
A CBS News press release to promote the interview noted that the book's publisher, Simon & Schuster, and CBS News are subsidiaries of Viacom.
Dylan has been on tour more or less constantly for years — but he has been reluctant to sit down for interviews. — Don Kaplan

Wow! Thanks for the tip!
But doesn't this take away the uniqueness of Martin Scorsese's interview with him, which was billed as Dylan's first on-camera interview in nearly two decades? |

The Parsons tribute (which Keith played at in july) was shown on a PPV station in the US on November 15th, I believe. Maybe its being re-broadcast, I dont know.
If you missed it, no problem - and thanks for offering.
Most VCR's in the European (PAL) format now are "multi region" playback in that they play the US (NTSC) format as well. However, whilst I could watch that tape, I couldnt copy it to another video - I'd have to get it transferred to PAL format before I can do that.
Was hoping if someone had taped both shows for themselves they could copy them onto the same tape as it would mean me paying for the cost of having one tape converted to PAL instead of two...(plus I'd imagine the Dylan interview is barely going to be more than 20 minutes, based on other "60 Minutes" interviews I've seen before. |

I would like to know if he has come back to his jewish roots or is still caught up in that quasi-religous thing...The only song I like by Dylan is 'Joker Man". |

Bob Dylan's journey
Influential singer touched generations with heartfelt lyrics
SHARON WOOTTON FOR THE OLYMPIAN
Bob Dylan's "Blowin' in the Wind" was well on its way to becoming an anthem of the civil rights movement when Experience Music Project curator Jasen Emmons was born in 1963.
ADVERTISEMENT
Today, Emmons has become a Dylan expert as the curator of "Bob Dylan's American Journey, 1956-1966," an exhibit of more than 150 artifacts.
"Dylan's not a collector," said Emmons, who tracked down artifacts around the country. "He doesn't have a nostalgic bone in his body. He doesn't look back."
Although Dylan continues to write and perform, the exhibit focuses on the early years.
"I would argue that his first decade was his most creative period," Emmons said. "If he never wrote another song after 1966, he'd still be one of our most influential artists."
"American Journey" is an excellent complement to Dylan's current best- selling book "Chronicles: Volume One." Next summer, Martin Scorsese will release a documentary on Dylan, who made an indelible mark as a folk singer.
From age 19 to 24, he released seven incredibly diverse albums that evolved through folk, blues, topical (Civil Rights, anti-war), introspective and rock categories, all marked by a signature style.
The exhibit begins on a wall outside of the entrance where Emmons has chosen about a dozen songs and lyrics to represent the decade, including "Subterranean Blues," "Chimes of Freedom," "Masters of War," "Girl of the North Country," "A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall" and "The Times They Are A-Changin'."
Chronologically explore Dylan's growth and the influences of people and places, starting in Hibbing, a small town in the Iron Range of Minnesota.
EMP had 1,500 pounds of iron ore shipped from the Iron Range for a backdrop to the first section. There's a clock from his father's furniture store and a 22-page essay written as a high-school junior on John Steinbeck and character (he got a B).
Dylan wanted to be a rock star, but then he discovered Woody Guthrie. On display are Dylan's personal copy of Guthrie's "Bound for Glory," the "Woody Guthrie Songbook," and the only known Guthrie guitar.
Like Guthrie, Dylan stood up for causes and drew some of his songs from the news.
"He sees himself as a link in the musical chain," Emmons said.
But Dylan's vision was larger. He helped launch the singer/songwriter model that undermined the Tin Pan Alley model of songwriters writing for vocalists.
Trace Dylan's steps through posters and handbills as his world expands beyond Greenwich Village. Dylan and Joan Baez were dubbed the King and Queen of Folk at the Newport Folk Festival.
Folk meets politics in the next section as Dylan became a spokesman for a generation, a title he refused to accept.
Here's a draft for "Blowin' in the Wind," a No. 1 hit for Peter, Paul & Mary in 1963; and the FBI files on folk singer Phil Ochs.
The guitar that Bruce Langhorne played on the first five Dylan albums is here, as is Langhorne's tambourine that he played on "Mr. Tambourine Man."
In 1964, with Beatles' music reminding him of his rock 'n roll dreams, Dylan started to move away from folk/politics, breaking the heart of folkies.
In July 1965, he appeared on stage with an electric guitar at the Newport Folk Festival and was booed by many fans who felt he had sold out. According to Emmons, Dylan said: "Eventually, they'll get it."
Dylan's 1966 motorcycle crash is the last big event of the exhibit. He retreated into silence, which only added to the mystique.
"He was tired of dealing with all the expectations. The accident was also an excuse to step away. He was a very different person afterwards," Emmons said.
That will be a story for another exhibit.

The interview lasted 90 minutes. Not living in the US,I dont know how long interview segments shown on "60 Minutes" tend to last, but going by Ed Bradley's pieces with the Stones in both 1994 and 2002, it would appear 15-20 minutes would be about the standard. Do they ever do interviews that run for the entire broadcast? |

I don't know for sure, but in this case they'd be goddam fools if they didn't. Unless the editors want to save "hype footage" for a later date. Anyway Bob's a devious bastard and so aren't the 60 Minutes producers. Anything is possible. It's Bob on national TV though....what more could one ask for? |

yeah it would be quite an exclusive, but surely what they are more conscious of more than anything is ratings - and would a 60 minute chat with someone like Bob Dylan appeal to the masses watching in prime time, considering most of them have the attention span (not to mention intellect) of a squirrel? |

They have run interviews longer than 20 minutes but it's very rare. I don't catch the show every week but I've seen it frequently over the past 30(!) years. Bon Jovi in 1987 did get 40 minutes... |
