In 1991 an ‘interview’ with Bob Dylan was published in The Telegraph (issue 42). It was supposedly conducted by journalist and translator Eduardo Bueno in Budapest on 12 June 1991. The interview was a fake. Bueno had compiled a selection of previous Bob Dylan responses from other interviews. One extract from the ‘interview’ was about hats:
EB: On your 50th birthday, an English newspaper, The Independent, asked a lot of people what they’d give you as a birthday present.
Mick Jagger said, “After what I saw on the Grammys, a new hat and some good songs”.
BD: “Well, a new hat I’ve already got. It’s here. It’s called a Borsalino. I bought it in Milan, five days ago, for $75. New songs? Well, I don’t think he’s ever written a song like Masters of War. But to do my show, I don’t need to be moving from here and there. But I love Mick, I always did.”
