While I find it unlikely that [Bob] Dylan sold his soul to the devil, he did make some interesting comments in a 60 Minutes interview with Ed Bradley in 2005. When asked why he was still making music and touring [the world] despite being so close to [the age of] retirement;

Dylan replied: “It goes back to that destiny thing. I made a bargain with it a long time ago, and I’m holding up my end.”

Bradley: “What was your bargain?”

Dylan: “To get where I am now.”

Bradley: “Should I ask who you made the bargain with?”

Dylan: “With the chief commander.”

Bradley: “On this earth?”

Dylan: (laughing) “On this earth and the world we can’t see.”
