I found this opinion post on a google search and I'm sorry for rehashing it but I just have to say that I remember reading that article in Rolling Stone and IMHO you misinterpreted it entirely. Bob Dylan was blaming artists for misusing technology, not technology itself. Nowhere in the article does Bob or the interviewer make the claim that Bob has a low-tech rig going on. In fact far from it, Time Out of Mind (Album of the Year '98) was a technological masterpiece. Bob Dylan is merely lamenting that modern music is misusing technology to dilute the focus of music.

But then again who really knows what Bob Dylan means, it has always been a tricky thing to peg Dylan as meaning any one thing. The man wrote the most influential protest songs of his era then said he never wrote a protest song in his life.

Christopher Ricks, co-director of the Editorial Institute at Boston University says "I don't think there's anybody that uses words better than he does." Dylan was also nominated for the Nobel prize in literature. The man has got some legitimate skills in communicating, or in his case, confusing, lol.

Recently Bob Dylan has been much more public, and I don't blame him, he has always been so secluded, it must be an adventure for him to let himself into the public eye a little in his old age and share himself with the world.

And if you still think Bob Dylan to be extraordinarily egotistical just read this snippet regarding an experience Eric Clapton had with him here.
