Jokes:
Bob Dylan has been seeing a psychologist because he has been having mental and social problems. The doctor says to Dylan, "Repeat after me .. Your Name is Bob Dylan." The problem started when Dylan said to the doctor, "Your name is Bob Dylan." The doctor says "No. YOUR name is Bob Dylan." Dylan again says "Your name is Bob Dylan." This went on repeatedly for several moments. ( The doctor has since resigned and is now seeing another doctor himself. ) Submitted by: Jeff Williams
| Bob Dylan, Mick Jagger, and Steven Tyler are going on a tour next year. It will be called "The Triple-Centenarian Tour". It will be very well run. The crowd will be very entertained, and "medics" will be standing by for the performers. DON'T MISS IT!! It may be the last time Bob, Mick, and Steven will ever see you. Submitted by: Jeff Williams

Band Name Origins:
- According to Bob, in his book Chronicles, he actually did select the name Dylan from the poet Dylan Thomas. Hence, Robert Zimmerman became Bob Dylan. He didn't want to keep his real name because another Bobby Zimmerman, at the time, was a motorcycle racer that had crashed and died. Submitted by: Eldon
- It was neither Dylan Thomas or some fictional uncle. He chose his name because of his childhood affection for Marshall Matt Dillon in the TV show Gunsmoke. Submitted by: Prada-Meinhof

- Jakob Dylan - Sorry, Honey. "Jakob" is not Hebrew. German, maybe. But the original form of Jacob (the only proper English spelling) is Yaakov. Enough with the pretentious phony starchild monikers. Submitted by: Marc
- Jakob Dylan - Jakob is the Hebrew version of "Jacob". It predates Jacob with a C, I believe. It has nothing to do with being "cool" Submitted by: Honey
- Jakob Dylan - A "k" is so much cooler than with a "c." Jakob's always said that no one ever gets his name correct---not on his childhood trophy's, and not even on one of his platinum records! Submitted by: memyselfandi

Submitted by: Jack
"Joey" Length: 11:05
From Dylan's "Desire" album, this is the only of Dylan's 11-minute-plus songs that is in the middle of the album rather than the end. It's also one of the few Dylan songs that I absolutely can't stand. I love Dylan, but something about "Joey" just irks me.
Submitted by: DeeDee
"Desolation Row" Length: 11:18
I'm surprised this one hasn't been submitted yet, this song is noted for it's length. The original take of this song (the version on Highway 61 RV is a later take) is a tone lower and played slow enough that although it didn't have any harmonica verses (the Highway 61 version has one separating the final verse from the rest of the song, and another after it), it is 40 seconds longer, and had that version been used, would have been Dylan's longest release until Highlands, on his 1997 album Time out of Mind.
Submitted by: Feurzeug
"Sad-Eyed Lady of the Lowlands" Length: 11:19
I'm suprised this one hasn't already been submitted. On the LP versions of Blonde on Blonde, this takes up all of side four. Furthermore, it is the most depressing song I've ever heard (at least that I can recall). 'She's your lover now' would have been a better closing track for that album.

"Romance in Durango"
The Lyrics: "No Llores mi querida,
Dios nos vigila, Soon the horse will take us to Durango, Agarrame, mi vida..." Why: In English: "Don't cry, my love,/ God is watching us,/ Soon the horse will take us to Durango,/ Hold onto me, my life..." The narrator of the song is an outlaw on the run with a woman who is presumably the mistress or wife of the man the narrator shot. The couple seek shelter in Durango, but the song, and the narrator's life, end before they get there.
