   Also, the interview never probed him about the motorcycle 'crash'.   
      
   Here, underneath all the reverence and portentousness, is what the truth   
   about Dylan is:   
      
   A young Little Richard fan wants to be come a famous rocker. Finds out he's   
   got a real knack songwriting. Connives at a personal myth. Synthesizes   
   'rock' music out of a rechauffe of french symbolist poetry, Chuck Berry and   
   Woody Guthrie. Finds himself hailed the new messiah. Gets bored of it after   
   a while and also has a crisis of confidence because the act is a taking over   
   and songs are getting over analyzed ( the ventriloquist dummy talking back).   
   Takes a lot of drugs. Fakes a motorbike crash to avoid major touring   
   commitments. Emerges eventually in a new mode, alternately misanthropic,   
   obscure and pious. Accepts his own deification.
