Not sure whether I ever posted these before..
Sometime around '62 or '63 Bob Dylan was quite the bullwhip enthusiast. According to reports from the Newport Folk festival, he was to be seen wandering around and practising with a 10ft whip. If only he'd worn a hat!

Cool thanks for sharing
Re: Indiana Dylan
Looks like he likes cigarettes too! Hahah
A whip seems so random for him. Like Betty White with a lightsaber.

Re: Indiana Dylan
It seems to be 8 plait cowhide one. I'm curious if it has swivel handle
Re: Indiana Dylan
WoW! This may be the whip given to him from Joan Baez.

Re: Indiana Dylan
Hey thanks for the info! Never heard that story before and that it was a gift from Baez.
Re: Indiana Dylan
Here's another article I found concerning the bullwhip:

Near the bottom of page 167. It says it's a 20 foot bullwhip, although from the pics it looks to be much shorter. It also mentions it was given to Bob Dylan from Geno Foreman, not Joan Baez.
