More Of An Outlaw Than You Ever Were?

Hiya from Cincinnati, Bob. Not that I really expected any special interview dispensations from your Dylanness, after all, not when youve made yourself inaccessible to much more powerful journalists than me, for more years than Ive even been writing.

BOB DYLAN

"But this is just for the interview, you know, when they want to do interviews in places like Omaha, or in Cincinnati, man, you know. I dont do it and then they write bald things.

—Bob Dylan, 1965 quoted in The Rolling Stone Interviews, Vol. 2

Hiya from Cincinnati, Bob. Not that I really expected any special interview dispensations from your Dylanness, after all, not when youve made yourself inaccessible to much more powerful journalists than me, for more years than Ive even been writing.
