A while back, Bob Dylan discussed his fans' adulation with the BBC and explained that his desire to write, record, and perform has very little to do with filling some type of void in his personal life: “I got enough love around me, y'know? So, I don't need no people's love. I don't need to go out and play to a crowd of 20, 30, 50,000 people for their love. Some performers have to, y'know? But I don't. I got enough love just in my immediate surroundings, so. . . It accounts for why a lot of entertainers do what they do, because they want the love of another group of people. And I don't do it for love. I do it, 'cause I can do it and I think I'm good at it, and that's all I do it for.”
Bob Dylan's Rough And Rowdy Ways was released on June 19th, 2020 and peaked at Number Two on the Billboard 200 albums chart.
