“You can go ahead and make that record, but we won’t pay for it, and we won’t release it”

“Square? I don’t think anybody would have been bold enough to call Frank Sinatra square. Kerouac listened to him, along with Bird [Charlie Parker] and Dizzy [Gillespie]. But I myself never bought any Frank Sinatra records back then, if that’s what you mean. I never listened to Frank as an influence. All I had to go on were records, and they were all over the place, orchestrated in one way or another. Swing music, Count Basie, romantic ballads, jazz bands — it was hard to get a fix on him.”

- Bob Dylan til AARP The Magazine, februar/marts nummeret 2015. Læs hele interviewet her. Det er langt og interessant og kommer vidt omkring..

Når jeg ser forsiden af AARP The Magazine, kan godt se, at jeg kender layouten fra lufthavnskiosker mv. Jeg har dog aldrig købt eller læst et eksemplar, selvom det henvender sig til folk over 50 år og har omkring 35 millioner læsere. 

Dylans nye plade 'Shadows In The Night' er ude i dag.

PS: kl. 20.42. Nu har jeg fundet ud af, at AARP står for American Association of Retired People
