A Different Set of Chronicles

New York Times: "ON a perfect, sunny afternoon, Jakob Dylan sat not quite comfortably in the small recording studio he maintains on the grounds of his Los Angeles home. A single candle burned in the room, which was crowded with instruments and gear. The blue eyes that helped make him a '90s-era heartthrob shone, and his black hair, pushed back off his face, jutted this way and that in hip disarray. The Wallflowers, the band Mr. Dylan has led for 15 years, have a new album coming out, and that can mean only one thing: more questions about his dad. 'You got right to the head of why people have a problem with me,' he said patiently in response to just such a question. 'If people want to talk about Bob Dylan, I can talk about that. But my dad belongs to me and four other people exclusively. I'm very protective of that. And telling people whether he was affectionate is telling people a lot. It has so little to do with me. I come up against a wall.'"
