With the 4 Beatles films coming in 2027 and the Dylan Biopic that came out a couple yrs ago, will the Stones ever do one now? Or with Mick being such a control freak, it won’t happen?
Fax letter from John Lee Hooker offering Bob Dylan, a speedy recovery on May 29, 1997.
Dylan had known Hooker since receiving his first big break opening for the blues legend at Gerdes Folk City in April 1961. As Hooker later told music writer Tony Scherman:
“Did you used to hang out with Bob Dylan back in the day?”
“He hung out with me!” said Hooker. “When I used to play Gerde’s Folk City, ain’t nobody heard of Bob. He used to come and see me all the time. Bob and his girlfriend, Suze. Bob and Suze used to come visit me at the Broadway Central Hotel, where I always stayed. It’s no longer there. We’d sit around and drink and play. Bobby would ‘bout blow on his harmonica. Yeah, those were the days.”
This is not my screenshots, I got this from a Bob Dylan fan group on Facebook. It’s from Mojo Magazine’s June 2026 issue. Jeff Tweedy is the one interviewing Elvis Costello.
Random, but I always got the feeling he wished he was born in another state/city whatever. He never seemed to rep Minnesota like a Prince did Minneapolis etc. He does songs about Mississippi and other places but never Hibbing? Why?
