Out of my mind
DYLAN '65
Note—Three years, some odd months ago, I walked backstage before Bob Dylan's concert at Masonic Auditorium intending to do an interview for a high school paper I edited. Instead, I met Alan Stone, then a Dj for WDTM, A Detroit FM station now disappeared, and after talking with Stone, decided to use parts of his talk.
Here then, is Alan’s conversation in its entireity as it was aired on WDTM.
Remember, remember...
Stone-Last time you were here, you drew a fair amount of people, but with none of the great deal of general recognition you’ve gotten, among the public at this time. And the main question I have for you now is this: what does it mean to you personally, in terms of your work, in terms of what you’re doing, to suddenly be confronted with a tremendous amount of public acclaim?
Dylan-It doesn’t really mean that much to me in terms of words you know. My, I don’t know what you’d call it, training or whatever have you, I don’t really know, and what I do know has already been formed, you know,, and it can’t really mean anything to me, its just, uh, I have to getaway a lot more now than I used to.
Stone-That’s what had in mind, in terms of just functioning as an individual, as a human being. Do you think that the situation is in any aspect too unpleasant for you?
