Ieva Lesinska: Professor Ricks, Why do you have a bathtub in your office?Posted by Vanderleun at April 11, 2008 10:44 AM | TrackBackChristopher Ricks: It's Bob Dylan's childhood bathtub. It's where the young Dylan made his first splash. It belongs to two former Boston University alumni.
IL: One of the things I'd really like to understand is why it is that I fail to appreciate Bob Dylan?
CR: And what does your psychoanalyst say about this problem? -- Eurozine - A lesson in Dylan appreciation - Ieva Lesinska, Christopher Ricks
Yeah.... I had a 34 year old friend who was all excited to go to a Dylan concert. We made merciless fun of him.
After he went, he quietly admitted: "It really sucked. Every song sounded the same...."
I'm 40. Bob Dylan means nothing to me or mine.
