Are you a folk singer?
No, I could try to explain to you,
But it'd make no difference.
How does it feel to have such success in pop music?
..More like suck-cess
Josh Dunson implies in his new book you have sold out
To commercial and topical songwriting success...
No comment, no arguments, I certainly don't feel guilty.
Describe this, describe that
Fuck if I know, man.
When you did this, wrote that, said that, what did it mean to you?
I don't know. I don't remember.
Do you care about what you sing?
How can I answer a question like that?
He's got a lot of nerve asking me a question like that!
Did he ask the Beatles that?
This man has never heard a goddamn song of mine
And he wants to question my success?
The real question is does this guy care
About what he writes?
He's the one who traveled across the world
To interview a stranger
He knows nothing about.
Why do I care?
I've never been in Time Magazine
And I've filled this hall twice-
I don't need Time Magazine.
This guy is wasting his time
And mine.
This can't be a good article.
The guy who is really writing this article
Is sitting behind a desk in New York City
With his feet propped up
And his eyes laid shut-
He's gonna say something like
He has his finger on the pulse of our generation.
He's God.
He's the voice of the movement.
He's a prophet.
Let me tell you something Time Magazine,
Newsweek, Rolling Stone, Melody Maker-
I'm no god, I'm no prophet,
And I sure as hell don't belong to you.
I don't belong to anybody.
Hell, I don't even belong to myself.
I don't want to anymore.
I'm gonna find me a new Bob Dylan tomorrow.
You can have him.
He's all yours.
