Subject: Dylan at the Obama White House From: GUEST,Bill Amatneek Date: 19 Sep 13 - 02:46 PM Interesting video of Dylan performing at the White House for Obama. The story that goes with it is vintage Dylan as well: http://www.rollingstone.com/music/videos/flashback-bob-dylan-plays-for-obama-at-the-white-house-20130910 Best regards to all, BA |

Subject: RE: Dylan at the Obama White House From: bobad Date: 19 Sep 13 - 04:47 PM "He [Obama] continued, "He came in and played 'The Times They Are A-Changin'.' A beautiful rendition. The guy is so steeped in this stuff that he can just come up with some new arrangement, and the song sounds completely different. Finishes the song, steps off the stage – I'm sitting right in the front row – comes up, shakes my hand, sort of tips his head, gives me just a little grin, and then leaves. And that was it – then he left. That was our only interaction with him. And I thought: That's how you want Bob Dylan, right? You don't want him to be all cheesin' and grinnin' with you. You want him to be a little skeptical about the whole enterprise. So that was a real treat." |
