60 Minutes & Dylan

Bob Dylan will be giving his first telivizzed interview [in 19yrs] this Sunday on 60 Minutes. He will be interviewed by Ed Bradley. Apparently they arm-wrestle at some point, no word on who won... part of the suspense, I suspect.
Sunday 7pm CBS 60 Minutes
Watch it, should be unusual

*heard about it on BBC... a news show interviews an entertainer and it hits inyernational press, weird
**Oh, I finally read his book, Chronicles, Vol 1. I was prepared to be disappointed but was enthralled. READ IT READ IT READ IT. In case you hadn't heard, the guy has a way with words. Now I'm not any kind a art critic, but someone please tell me what American artist in the past century is on the level with Bob Dylan?

You've persuaded me to read the book. I've read the Clinton Heylin's Dylan biography _Behind the Shades_ and now would like to find out what the man himself has to say.

i saw it, too. don't quite know how to take, unusual to say the least. when he quoted, "it's alright, ma..." they broke into vintage video of him performing it, and then he said, "you try and write something like that", i had shivers. i felt he was self depricating, even in search of a little pity or maybe sympathy. he may have played it up a bit, but the man looked beat, exhausted.
what's your favorite album of his? my favorite single one is "Bringin' It All Back Home" many others, though, are oh so great
