IN-CONVERSATION WITH PAUL ZOLLO, EDITOR OF AMERICAN SONGWRITER MAGAZINE.

‘It was at summer camp in northern Wisconsin in 1953 that I first met Bobby Zimmerman from Hibbing. He was twelve years old and he had a guitar. He would go around telling everybody that he was going to be a rock-and-roll star. I was eleven and I believed him.” So begins this honest, funny, and deeply affectionate memoir of a friendship that has spanned five decades of wild adventures, soul searching conversation, musical milestones, and enduring comradery.

As Bobby Zimmerman became Bob Dylan and Louie Kemp built a successful international business, their lives diverged but their friendship held fast. No matter how much time passed between one adventure and the next, the two ”boys from the North Country” picked up where they left off and shared experiences that will surprise and delight Dylan fans and anybody who loves a rollicking-good rock-and-roll memoir.

Louie produced Bob’s groundbreaking Rolling Thunder Revue-described in riveting detail here-and traveled with him in the rarefied world of the rock star, but he also shared quiet moments and intimate experiences. Louie’s own words best describe the relationship at the heart of Dylan & Me: ‘‘We have always had open minds, taken risks, helped the underdog. We have laughed at the same jokes and confided our deepest thoughts and fears. We have never needed anything from each other but have always been there for each other.” What better definition of friendship could anybody want?
