I’m not sincere at all, not any more sincere than you are.
– Bob Dylan
How productive have you ever been on a taxi ride?
WENNER: Where did you write “Desolation Row”? Where were you when you wrote that?
DYLAN: I was in the back of a taxi-cab.
WENNER: In New York?
DYLAN: Yeah.
...sorry 'bout that
Just letting you all know, Tumblr’s queue is spazzing out and posting 2 things within minutes instead of 1 with an hour interval. My apologies.
Tidbit:
None of Bob Dylan’s singles has ever reached No. 1 on Billboard’s pop chart. Like a Rolling Stone peaked at #2, as did Rainy Day Women #12 & 35, but The Byrds flew to #1 in 1965 with a version of his Mr. Tambourine Man.
The Rolling Stone Interview: Bob Dylan
WENNER: Why did you leave the city and city songs for the country and country songs?
DYLAN: The country songs?
WENNER: The songs... you were talking about “Highway 61” being a song of the city, and songs of New York City...
DYLAN: What was on that album?
