Bob Dylan 
Jonathan Cott Interviews
1977-1978

These are less formal interviews and more conversational...somewhat cerebral and somewhat "stream of consciousness" in 
an often manic sort of way.  Much discussion focuses on Bob's career, Renaldo and Clara, film and music theory, Desire, 
Street Legal, social criticisms, and "far-out" philosophical pontifications.  Dylan seems fascinated with Cott's intensity 
and the verbal exchanges are really priceless such as ...

"That's right, and that's because my mind and my heart work on all those levels. Shit, I don't want to be chained down 
to the same old level all the time...Sometimes i like a place a whole lot and when people come there i'll go someplace 
else so they'll leave and i'll go back..."
