The Day We Shook The Hand Of Bob Dylan

Back in 1976 our friend Ronee Blakley was playing at The Roxy on The Sunset Strip. The set was amazing and after the show we were all invited backstage to hang out and party.

Out of the blue Ronee came cover and introduces us to Bob Dylan! Can you believe it! Ronee knew that Dylan was our hero and she made a special point of making the introduction. Maybe she also wanted a foto!

The handshake from Dylan was a bit of a let down to tell you the truth. It was moist and very limp and we still remember it today. He joked that we looked like twins and then he began to orchestrate an amazing group foto that included him with Ronee, David Blue, Sally Kirkland, Martine Getty and a new young actor named Robert De Niro who could not believe his good fortune that evening.

Back then photographs of Dylan offstage were incredibly rare and he did not have on his classic sunglasses and that made the photo even more marketable. People Magazine and Rolling Stone ran this shot and the rest is history.

Incredible how one foto can change your life & career forever!
