Bob Dylan - new album just out on Tidal - Rough and Rowdy Ways

I believe Dylan was asked once ‘what he was’, and he replied a ‘trapeze artist’. That’s exactly how I would expect Dylan to respond to a question like that.

Seriously, I don’t think you can classify Dylan, and I doubt he would do so if asked (see above).

There are a lot of bands I don’t consider rock even though others do, and the ‘Hawks’, er I mean The Band, was one of those. I never considered The Band a ‘rock band’. Some band and musicians just don’t fit in a nice tidy box, some others do.

You’re close. Very close. “Song and dance man.”  🕺🏻

Yes, he may have stated that as well once. But he did call himself a ‘trapeze artist’ as well.

Maybe but it’s not as funny as my quote though.
