Bob Dylan’s Son Can’t Explain Those Tweets Either

Want to know the identity of Mary Jo? Or why he loves 1927’s The Unknown so much? Or are you keen to confirm if this is all an elaborate ploy to tease a new album? Bob Dylan, of course, will never give us any answers about the reasoning behind his mystifying Twitter feed. His son, unfortunately, also isn’t any help at the moment. Cue up “Tweeter and the Monkey Man” and see if that can give you some clarity instead. When asked by the Boston Globe why his father has taken a recent liking to typing silly li’l tweets, Jakob Dylan responded like a moderator on the Expecting Rain discussion boards. “Yeah, like most people, I can’t tell you what’s going on with those,” the Wallflowers front man explained. “I’ve seen those. I can’t tell you what that’s about. I’m not sure. But you’re right: Whatever it is, it’s more than I do.” He added about perhaps doing a father-and-son concert one day, “I’m available. He knows how to find me.” Vulture previously confirmed that Dylan’s potpourri of tweets — now seven and counting — are indeed authentic and written by him. We never thought his rough and rowdy ways would be limited to 280 characters, but here we are.
