I was looking back over some things I had written all the way back in 2004 and I came across this little gem about a 60 minutes interview with Bob Dylan.
I really enjoy listening to Dylan’s music. The depth of emotion in the music and lyrics is unmatched. What is even more fascinating is Dylan’s matter-of-factness about fame.
“His fellow musicians paid tribute to him when he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, joining him in a rousing rendition of his most famous song, “Like a Rolling Stone.” That song was recently named by Rolling Stone magazine as the No. 1 song of all time. And he has 12 other songs on their list of the Top 500.
“That must be good to have as part of your legacy,” says Bradley.
“Oh, maybe this week. But you know, the list, they change names, and you know, quite frequently, really. I don’t really pay much attention to that,” says Dylan.
“But it’s a pat on the back,” says Bradley.
“This week it is,” Dylan replies. “But who’s to say how long that’s gonna last?”
Leave it to Bob Dylan to remind us that everything is just blowin’ in the wind.
