In a somewhat surrealistic interview, Sean Penn notes that he and Dylan used to box together at his house...
Q: You're the reader on the audio version of Bob Dylan's "Chronicles." How'd that come about?A: He called. You don't say no to Bob. It's the first and last time I'll do it though. It's a big job.
Q: Are you friends?
A: Friendly acquaintances. I've never known him very well. There was a period of time when we used to box together. I had a ring at my house.
Q: Who came out ahead in those matches?
A: The interest was serious, but it was just for enjoyment.
Q: No broken bones?
A: No broken bones. No trips to the emergency room.
Q: You don't want to be the guy who put Bob Dylan in the hospital.
A: No. Or have it be the other way around.
Q: You say you'd never do another one of these audiobooks, but, you know, Dylan says he has two more volumes coming.
A: Yeah, I know. (Laughs) I've changed my number. (Laughs) I think you should only read books aloud for people who are shorter than you.
