I loved this little tidbit from a recent Billboard interview with Johnny Cash’s son John Carter Cash. When Bob and Johnny met for the first time in the 1960’s in New York City, Bob got quite excited:

“My father told a story about his meeting with Bob Dylan,” John Carter Cash recalls. “They had been writing letters for awhile before, and they were in New York City. Bob came in the hotel room, jumped up and down on the bed and said, ‘I met Johnny Cash!’ just like a little kid. They had a friendship that was based on humor. That’s what Dad talked about, that there was a lot more about Bob Dylan than what meets the eye. Of course, you can tell that by the writing.”

Even legends can be adorable sometimes.
