interesting... i'm wondering if he's EIE. (if not, then IEI?)
As an old guy
- seems gruff and rational. i was suddenly reminded of leonard nimoy.
- he sees the writing of his songs as magical (it just happened), he doesn't know where it came from and as an older man doesn't believe he can do it anymore ("well you can't do something forever... i can do other things now, but i can't do that")
- he always knew there was something greater he was meant to do, even as a child (because of knowing this, his childhood wasn't happy or unhappy) -- he was destined to become a music legend
- destiny: you know something about yourself that no one else does... you know the vision of yourself in your head will come true... you have to keep it to yourself and not tell anyone because it's fragile, and if you put it out there it will die
- feeling like an imposter because the image of who you are and how others see you isn't who you are
- he didn't see his songs as sparking a movement, didn't see himself as a "prophet"... he wasn't trying to be a spokesperson for anything or create any cultural movements... there's no great message in what he writes... they're just songs
- creatively tried to shatter the image others had of him - didn't like how the public was perceiving him (because it wasn't him), and he'd rather be anything than the great shining light they saw him as... it's hard being just a man and everyone treats you like a god, as though you have all the answers, when you see yourself as having none
- didn't like the media because they were trying to pin him down to something
As a young guy (other video)
- the truth is just a plain picture (you don't try to paint it any way, it just is)... it's like a tramp throwing up while a subway goes by
- goes over the process of how something gets in Time magazine and all the people involved in different places at different times putting it together, and how they each do their little part of it... and the end product then just doesn't seem like it's anything that's true or real at all, so why is this even important? there's no point in his trying to explain why he doesn't see himself a certain way, because it won't go anywhere or do anything, and the interviewer will just nod and that's it
- when the Time magazine guy questioned "do you care what you write?" the tone came off imo as an accusation, and Dylan threw this back at the guy with a charged expression of being offended: "how do you have the nerve to ask me that?!" it was very effective at shutting down the situation
- the interviewer seemed very uncomfortable the entire time, and Dylan seemed rather confrontational
- Dylan seems to think that everyone will just go and listen to his music for entertainment and seems to deny that his music represents anything more than that to some people... when the interviewer says he knows that people have said they're seeing him perform for other reasons, Dylan exclaims "who cares what they say!"
- Dylan finishes off the interview joking about he's a better singer than someone else and can hit the notes and hold his breath longer (it's a sort of jovial display of exaggerated conceit)... it changes the mood and tone of the situation (lightens things up)
- seems to have a sort of "whiny victimy Fe thing going"?
It's odd, how he looked in the video where he's older reminded me of Leonard Nimoy (LSI), and his mentioning how the public sees him as something else than he is reminded me of something I remember reading in Nimoy's autobiography... Nimoy mentioned that people want to meet him because they want to meet "Spock", so he feels like they're not even talking to him or seeing him, because he will forever be that character... It felt like a similar attitude to Dylan's (and it's a completely understandable attitude), but it's interesting the lengths that Dylan went to trying to change this, where as I don't think Nimoy really did anything. But stereotypically, I wonder if this large image concern should be associated once again with Fe, just like it always is.
(i wasn't trying to plagiarize, i just was too lazy to put quotes there among the bullets, my computer is being insanely slow and the typing is dragging)
