“not supposed to talk to him”
Back in December, Billy Burnette a former touring guitarist for Bob Dylan, revealed that the music legend even has his own signal for when he does not want to be spoken to.
Burnette joined Bob Dylan’s touring band in 2003.
“When he wears the hood, you’re not supposed to talk to him,” Burnette explained. “I didn’t know that until one day we were in line to get on a plane at the airport. I tapped him on the shoulder”, he revealed. ‘No, no. He don’t talk to anyone when he’s got the hood on.’ I was like, ‘OK. I’m glad you told me”.
Burnette also added that Bob Dylan has a subtle way of disappearing from the public gaze.
“He’s slippery”, he said. “He can walk in an airport … they lost him one day. They couldn’t find him anywhere. I’m in this little gift shop and I turn around, and there he is. He goes, ‘Hi, Billy.’ I was like, ‘How did you get in here?’ He moves around. It’s a weird thing”.
