Lovely story by the curator of John Lennon's boyhood home on citytalk.fm radio in Liverpool this afternoon (following story in today's Daily Mirror, I was told by DJ Gary Quinn) that when Dylan was in Liverpool the other week, he turned up at the house on one of the regular tour buses taking customers there to be shown round. The curator recognised Dylan, but he wasn't recognised by the other punters until they were well into their tour of the house. When he was, no-one asked for his autograph; they respected the fact that he'd gone there as a person and not as a star. Or maybe Lennon was the only star in their eyes.

ReplyDeleteIn the new Rolling Stone interview Dylan revealed that he had made a trip to Neil Young's boyhood home in Winnipeg
"I wanted to see his bedroom.Where he looked out of the windows.Where he dreamed.Where he walked out of the door every day.Wanted to see what's around his neighborhood in Winnipeg.And I did just that."
