Our title is basically “Why I cannot look you in the eye”.

Recounting the story in later years with a big squinty grin, a breathy chuckle, he’d say that he’d lied about the “five years” thing. Then he returns the compliment, says he loves Cohen’s song “Hallelujah” (this was back in the fifteen years after its release, on 1984’s Various Positions, when nobody knew of it). The two singer-songwriters met for an hour in a Paris café in the 1980s to trade compliments and talk about work.Ĭohen says to Dylan, “I love your song ‘I and I,’ how long did it take to write?”ĭylan tells him it took fifteen minutes. He was often prompted by fans and reporters to tell the story of his meeting with Bob Dylan. And then toward the end of his career the focus fell mostly upon his own smallness in the world: sagging looks, withering body, shortcomings and failures in romance and work.
