I Am Julien Levy, son of Jacques Levy, lyricist, director, Bob Dylan's songwriting collaborator on the 1976 album 'Desire,' (including Hurricane), and director of the Rolling Thunder Review. Ask me anything!

Maybe nobody gives a shit, but growing up I heard/was a part of some great stories about Dylan and who he was outside of the musician and icon.

Dylan and my dad had a great working relationship, and a great friendship. Dylan was actually a big part of the reason I exist--he introduced my parents. I'd get my dad to do this AMA, but he died in 2004, so you're stuck with me. I'll do my best.

Proof that I am who I say I am. I meant to do this two days ago, hence the old timestamp. Here is also a picture of my dad with Dylan. People say we bear a strong resemblance.

Fire away!

EDIT: Thanks a lot guys. I'm really excited that more people are interested in my dad, and his work. Thanks for putting up with my long, annoying answers. I hope that if in the future you all see anything about 'Desire' or the songs on it posted, that you'll give my dad a shout-out. He lives on that way and I don't want myself or my close friends and family to be his only fanclub.

I'm actually a regular redditor, so if you've got any more questions, PM them to me, or post them here, and I'll check back to see if I can't answer them. I'm really excited to have done an AMA.

Finally, thanks a lot to the jerk who downvoted this post. What a jerk. Go look at r/tardcat, and get happy, you jerk.
