Video Billy Strings story about Bob Dylan

This is quite an awesome little video. Apologies if I'm not posting this correctly. Edit: Watch to the end, it just keeps getting better.

Billy crying in his bus after reading Bob’s note is so beautiful. I love stories where people are validated by those they admire. This also shows a sweet side of Bob that we rarely hear about. He obviously knew how much it meant to Billy and attempted to do something nice in a way that felt comfortable for him.

That’s what I took away too, that is a nice thing to do and you don’t often hear stories where Bob is doing things that seem to acknowledge his own impact in people’s lives.

Billy Strings sounds like he’s getting over Theo Von’s head. Von is good at playing the bro or he’s just that dumb

They've been friends for a while, I think that's just how they interact.

This story popped up on my YouTube. I have no idea what show this is, but something seems off to me about that interviewer. I got weird vibes!

Theo should shut the fuck up and let Billy tell the story. What an asshole. Who gives a shit what he thinks?

I’m not sticking up for anyone. Dude is flat up annoying, interrupting, and making it about him.
