Bob asked somebody at the bar if he would like to hear a song that he wrote.” Bob Dylanĭylan began reciting the song and, said Levy, “the person at the bar was starry eyed. Another time, he recalled, “after we finished a song, we went out to a bar and had a sheet with him. “Some it was very funny we’d be walking down a supermarket aisle ,” the late Levy said in a YouTube video, recalling the weeks he and Dylan spent in East Hampton.
In his book “ Chronicles”, Dylan describes East Hampton as “not really a place but a ‘state of mind’” for getting one’s balance back.ĭylan and Levy headed East after collaborative sessions in Greenwich Village came with too many distractions and lures of local drinking spots. Instead, Dylan mostly lived with discretion, renting houses (on Nichols Lane one time and on Lily Pond Lane another), keeping a hammock in the living room and doing paintings as well as songwriting collaborations with theater-director and lyricist Jacque Levy. That was a great meal.’ I was all dirty and greasy, so I didn’t shake his hand.”ĭylan, who, on at least one occasion, rented a house in East Hampton under his mother’s maiden name so that nobody knew he had snuck into town, was not exactly swanning around the Hamptons or even venturing to Montauk for hangout sessions with Warhol (though he and his family did take jaunts to the lighthouse there).

Explaining that Dylan was not the restaurant’s first celebrity diner – other ‘70s stalwarts included Cheryl Tiegs (probably in the company of her then-beau Peter Beard), Craig Claiborne and Marlo Thomas – he added, “I always try to perfect what I do, so I tried to make a perfect order of flounder.”Ĭlearly, game recognizes game. “Someone said ‘Bob Dylan’s sitting in the dining room,’” Harry told the East Hampton Star in 2016. Bruce Harry, an East Hamptons native, happened to be cooking at Roger’s in Sagaponick when the future Nobel Prize winner strolled in for a bite to eat.
#BOB DYLAN DESIRE SESSIONS TV#
This Sunday, when Bob Dylan makes his first TV concert appearance in some 30 years - “ Shadow Kingdom” (with purchasing available until July 20) - there will be a perfect meal with which to accompany the show: flounder alongside a rendition of the home-made potato-chips that used to be de rigueur at Roger’s Restaurant (now Townline BBQ).Īfter all, Roger’s flounder is the entrée that made Bob Dylan happy in the 1970s.
