Audio/ Video: Bob Dylan Heads for Australia – Look Back at Interviews, Songs Dylan Did In Australia – ‘Who’s Bob Dylan?’

Bob DYlan, press conference, 1986.

Bob Dylan will be performing 15 shows in Australia beginning August 13 in Perth, Australia. He’ll also be in Melbourne, and Sydney.

So today you can check out some past performances and interviews Dylan did in Australia.

Dylan said some interesting things during the following 1986 press conference.

Journalist: What does Bob Dylan think of Bob Dylan?

Bob Dylan: Bob Dylan doesn’t ever think about Bob Dylan

Journalist: Are you shy man?

Bob Dylan: Yeah, most of the time.

Journalist: Because of being shy, is it a burden being Bob Dylan?

Bob Dylan: Who’s Bob Dylan?

[laughter]

Bob Dylan: I’m only Bob Dylan when I have to be Bob Dylan. Most of the time I can just be myself.

And later in response to a question about the past, Dylan says this:

Dylan: We live here in the present time. You get up and have to deal with today. Yesterday’s gone, tomorrow’s not promised. So this is all we have, really.
