Bob Dylan Says Sad to Miss Meeting Book Publisher: “I thought they might be interested in some of my stories”

Is Bob Dylan alright?

His Tweets on his verified account are getting more peculiar every few days.

Bob says he was on tour in Frankfurt and went to the famous Book Fair there.

He writes: “At the hotel in Frankfurt there was a publishing convention and every room was taken, parties all night. I didn’t know there were so many book publishers in the world. I was trying to find Crystal Lake Publishing so I could congratulate them on publishing The Great God Pan, one of my favorite books. I thought they might be interested in some of my stories. Unfortunately it was too crowded and I never did find them.”

It’s not like he doesn’t have a book publisher who’d like his stories. Simon & Schuster published his “Chronicles, Part 1” in 2004. . They also published his “Philosophy of Modern Song” in 2022.

I’m sure they’d be up for a book of short stories.

Maybe he’s kidding, maybe not. I wish we could have seen Dylan going up to these people at the Fair and introducing himself!
