Machine Gun Kelly admits he's still baffled that Bob Dylan 'knows who I am' after working together
Machine Gun Kelly admits he's still baffled that Bob Dylan even knows his name after collaborating with the music legend. The 35-year-old rocker feels like the 84-year-old icon is in on 'some giant cosmic joke" after he agreed to narrate the trailer for MGK's new album, Lost Americana. Appearing on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, he said of working with the Like a Rolling Stone hitmaker: 'Well, to be honest, I don't want to mess my friendship up. 'To be honest, I have no idea how he even knows who I am to this day. 'And I'm pretty sure that if I say the wrong thing, I'll mess it all up, so I'll just shut up and accept whatever Bob Dylan throws my way.' Dylan narrating the promo came after he stunned fans by sharing footage of MGK - whose real name is Colson Baker - on his Instagram in February, He added: 'Something's going on in the stars where, like, good things keep happening… I don't know how it keeps happening. 'Then Bob Dylan, who's the king of just getting all the outside noise out and trusting what's within stamps… I don't know, I feel like he's just in on some giant cosmic joke.' In the clip, Dylan says of the collection: 'It's a sonic map of forgotten places, a tribute to the spirit of reinvention and a quest to reclaim the essence of American freedom. 'From the glow of neon diners to the rumble of the motorcycles, this is music that celebrates the beauty found in the in-between spaces. Where the past is reimagined, and the future is forged on your own terms.' In the video, MGK is seen having fun with friends and hanging out in the mountains. Earlier this year, Dylan shared a clip of MGK performing acoustically at Park Ave CDs store in Orlando, Florida. The Rap Devil star then got to meet the 'Like a Rolling Stone' hitmaker, 'all because of a video of me rapping in a music store 10 years ago." Lost Americana is set to be released on August 8.

Bob Dylan's former NYC townhouse asks $3M — with design by a famed Gilded Age architect
Find 'Shelter From the Storm' in this historic townhouse that just listed for sale. A handsome Upper Manhattan property that Bob Dylan once called home has listed for $3 million, the Wall Street Journal reported. The megastar musician lived in the five-story residence, designed by an iconic Gilded Age architect, for 14 years until 2000. 12 The five-story townhouse along Harlem's Strivers' Row.

Allyson Lubow for Sotheby's International Realty The 'Like a Rolling Stone' singer arrived in New York City from Minnesota in the 1960s. Dylan initially lived in a third-floor Greenwich Village walkup. That apartment, and its entire building, also listed for sale in July for $8.25 million. Less than three decades after arriving in the Big Apple and becoming a household name, Dylan bought himself a home in Harlem. The neighborhood's famed jazz and blues traditions inspired Dylan throughout his career. The Nobel Prize-winning songwriter spent years at the 4,500-square-foot property, but there's little to show for it beyond a deed. The intensely private singer lived a quiet life in the townhome-lined community, a historic district called Strivers' Row. 12 Strivers' Row is located on both sides of West 138th and West 139th streets in Harlem.

It was designed by the prolific Gilded Age architect Stanford White, whose Renaissance Revival-style defined the luxury buildings of his era. The spacious property includes a 19-foot salon, a large eat-in kitchen and a massive parlor floor. The well-preserved five-bedroom's classical details, like period moldings, hardwood floors, pocket doors and soaring ceilings, are balanced out by the modern luxuries of Gaggenau appliances and heated floors. Colin Montgomery and Stan Ponte of Sotheby's International Realty hold the listing. The current owners of the townhome, Isam Salah and Elaina Richardson, purchased it for $3.17 million in 2018, according to city records. Salah, a retired attorney, and Richardson, the former editor in chief of Elle magazine, are selling to focus on their lives upstate, the Journal reported. Richardson runs a nonprofit artists' retreat in Saratoga Springs. 12 Detailed millwork on the stairs. Allyson Lubow for Sotheby's International Realty 12 A large bedroom. Allyson Lubow for Sotheby's International Realty Their home's discounted sale price, the pair told the Journal, meets the market where it's at. Interest in high-end Harlem townhomes, either as family homes or portfolio investments, has lagged since the pandemic. But the married couple told the Journal that the memories created in their townhome make up for the loss. They purchased the home in part because they admired its well-preserved details, including an original range stove and a 4-foot-tall safe, which they use as a bar. The connection to Dylan is not lost on the couple, however. Richardson told the Journal that small tour groups occasionally stop outside the home, but said that the dedicated fans are pretty sedate.

Bob Dylan, Stevie Nicks and Tom Petty's Epic '80s Performance Is a Rock and Roll ‘Fever Dream'
From Bruce Springsteen to Joni Mitchell to Johnny Cash and beyond, Bob Dylan has joined forces with some of the most talented musicians in rock history, as his countless devoted fans are well aware. But a recently resurfaced clip of one iconic collaboration managed to surprise some music lovers on social media, who couldn't help but wish they had a time machine to take them back to the unforgettable evening. In 1986, Dylan was scheduled to hit the road with Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers for their co-headlining True Confessions Tour. This wasn't the only time Dylan and Petty would team up musically (they first performed together at Farm Aid in 1985 and formed the supergroup The Traveling Wilburys in 1988 with Roy Orbison, Jeff Lynne and George Harrison) but at that point in time, Petty (who was going through a tough time in his marriage) was reluctant to leave home. That's when yet another legendary singer stepped in: Stevie Nicks. As Showbiz Cheat Sheet reported, Nicks was the person who convinced Petty to go through with the tour, offering to go along as a "sidekick." "Tom was sitting there on the chair at his house and he says, 'I'm not going,'" she recalled. "I told him, 'Oh yes, you are going! You can't cancel on Bob f---ing Dylan! What, you're going to call up Bob and tell him it's off!?' Tom just goes, 'I'm not doing it.'" "I turn around and say, 'Well, do you want me to go? Do you need a sidekick, is that what you're saying, someone to be with you and to make you laugh, and to be there when you're lonely?'" Nicks continued. "'This is obviously the thing that is scaring you on this tour, and you're not afraid of anything; you're not afraid of alligators.' What the f--k, you know?" Thankfully for fans, Petty agreed to go on the tour, later praising Nicks for helping him to focus and saying her "lighthearted" presence was "good" for him. However, because Nicks didn't have a work visa, she was only supposed to watch Dylan and Petty from the sidelines. Still, that didn't stop her from joining her pals onstage in Sydney, Australia, for "Knockin' on Heaven's Door" and "Like a Rolling Stone." Comments on a recently shared clip of the trio singing "Knockin' on Heaven's Door" were a testament to the significance of the concert, with one person writing, "This is a fever dream I love it." "This would've sent me into a coma if I saw this live," added a second fan, with another demanding, "SOMEBODY CREATE TIME TRAVEL SO I CAN GO SEE THIS." "So that's what heaven sounds like," added someone else. Unfortunately, the performance was not a hit with Australian officials, as Nicks told The Daily Telegraph in 2017. "I was told by the Australian government I would never be allowed back in the country, not with Fleetwood Mac, not by myself as a solo artist, not as a tourist if I did that again," she said. "I couldn't even stand on stage to play a tambourine. So that was that."

Over the years, countless attempts have been made to define the "greatest songs of all time." For example, Rolling Stone magazine's frequently updated list of iconic songs has long been a touchstone for music lovers. Similarly, the BBC and VH1 have each curated lists that combine critical acclaim, historical impact, and popular appeal. We used research assistance from ChatGPT to comb through thousands of sources to determine the most universally beloved and culturally significant songs of all time. Here are the top 10 songs that AI ranks above the rest. Note that AI can produce "hallucinations" (inaccuracies or mistakes), and we question whether number seven on this list deserves to be included in the top 10.

"Bohemian Rhapsody" – Queen Queen's 'Bohemian Rhapsody' is often lauded as a rock masterpiece, known for its operatic segments, powerful guitar solos, and hauntingly poetic lyrics. Freddie Mercury's unique composition blends rock, opera, and ballad into one cohesive piece, making it both innovative and emotionally resonant. 2.

The six-minute track defied industry norms, paving the way for artistic freedom in rock music. Dylan's biting lyrics capture disillusionment with society in a way that remains powerful today. Led Zeppelin's 'Stairway to Heaven' combines acoustic balladry with hard rock, building intensity through a carefully crafted crescendo. Its mystical lyrics and epic guitar solos make it a favorite among rock enthusiasts and guitarists alike. 6. "What's Going On" – Marvin Gaye Marvin Gaye's 'What's Going On' is a soulful plea for peace and understanding, reflecting the social and political upheavals of the 1970s. The song's smooth, soulful sound paired with its powerful message resonates with listeners across generations. 7. "Smells Like Teen Spirit" – Nirvana Nirvana's 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' defined the grunge movement of the early 1990s, resonating with a generation frustrated by conformity. Kurt Cobain's enigmatic lyrics and the song's raw energy made it a staple of alternative rock. 8. "Hey Jude" – The Beatles 'Hey Jude' by The Beatles is a comforting ballad with a sing-along outro that has captivated audiences worldwide. Paul McCartney's lyrics offer empathy and encouragement, creating an enduring song that transcends generations. 9.

Brian Wilson Once Ran into Bob Dylan in the Emergency Room and Sparked a Friendship: 'Nice Guy'
Two years before Brian Wilson's death at age 82, the Beach Boys co-founder shared a story about meeting Bob Dylan The two musicians struck up a conversation in an emergency room "I invited him over to my house for lunch the next day," recalled Wilson in 2023Brian Wilson and Bob Dylan's friendship was sparked in an unlikely place. Two years before Wilson's death at age 82, which his family announced on Wednesday, June 11, the Beach Boys co-founder and singer shared a sweet story about running into Bob Dylan at a hospital and later having a conversation about music over lunch. "Once I was in the Malibu emergency room getting a weigh-in and this guy walked up to me," wrote Wilson in a May 2023 post on Facebook. "He had curly hair and was on the short side. 'Are you Brian Wilson?' he asked. 'Yeah,' I said. 'Hi,' he said. 'I'm Bob Dylan.'" The Pet Sounds artist explained Dylan, 84, was in the hospital with a broken thumb. "We talked a little bit about nothing," he continued. "I was a big fan of his lyrics, of course," said Wilson, citing "Like a Rolling Stone," "Mr. Tambourine Man" and "It's All Over Now, Baby Blue" as some of his favorites. "What a songwriter!" The emergency room run-in then turned into a friendship between the two iconic musicians. "I invited him over to my house for lunch the next day," recalled Wilson. "That was a longer conversation. We just talked and talked about music. We talked about old songs we remembered, songs before rock and roll. We talked about ideas we had. Nice guy." At the time, Wilson shared a photo of himself posing with Dylan — though it's unclear exactly when the photo was taken, or when the interaction went down. More recently, Dylan celebrated Wilson's 80th year around the sun by singing "Happy Birthday" to him in a video. "That ear," the "Blowin' in the Wind" singer once said about him, according to the New York Times. "I mean, Jesus, he's got to will that to the Smithsonian."
