“You think I’m over the hill/ You think I’m past my prime/ Let me see what you got/ We can have a whoppin’ good time” sings Bob Dylan on his new album Modern Times.

Of course he’s talking about viral video.

YouTube? That’s for Paris Hilton. Old man Zimmerman is a Google Video guy. Check out video.google.com/dylan.html for the “worldwide online premiere of rare and never-before-seen Bob Dylan videos” including:

  • Outtakes from the famed 1967 documentary Don’t Look Back
  • A 1969 duet performance with Johnny Cash of “Girl From The North Country”
  • Live performance of “Isis” from the 1975 Rolling Thunder Review tour
  • The “Series of Dreams” music video
  • Bob’s 60 Minutes interview with Ed Bradley
I haven’t bothered to check if any of this shit is on YouTube. But hey, Google put it all in one place, and watching this “Isis” clip is a swell way to start your weekend (even if Dylan himself is not keen on swf audio).

How did you first get into Bob Dylan? I first started listening to Dylan when I was an angst-ridden 15-year old. I was especially drawn to his stream-of-consciousness mid-60s era stuff… Bringing It All Back Home, Highway 61… that stuff. Dylan came off ...

How did you first get into Bob Dylan? I was 17 and going into my senior year in high school, working a summer job in Boothbay Harbor, Maine, in the summer of ‘65. It was a resort where a lot of New Yorkers, mostly college kids, were also working.

    Why’s the clip of Isis incomplete? Columbia released that with 1975 Rolling Thunder Revue volume of the Bootleg Series which is incredible. If they have extensive footage of those performances, they should release them.
