Yes, he does box. Or, at least, he did up to a few years ago. Whether he has continued, I do not know. There was a time when he moved with the same, rather odd, light-footedness that lighter-weight boxers sometimes use - always seeming to be in movement, never quite at rest. I may regret saying the following in this forum but it was an observation I made at the time. The effect was a similar sort of movement to those Thunderbird puppets of yore - never quite still when they were supposed to be still and slightly jerky at other times. At one stage, I thought might be an ailment but, in the end, put it down to his sparring to keep fit. A boxer should never be still but always in motion. Maybe I was right, maybe I was wrong - who knows?
I think that Dylan's 18th Street Coffeehouse is still there, though he rarely is. It is supposed to be worth a visit and, while we once spent several days in Santa Monica, we never quite made it up there. A friend who ran a sort-of musicbiz tip-sheet from an office across the street recommended it, though. We did go out in the older part of town and, suddenly, I spotted a building number, double-checked the street name and realised I was outside the building where STREET LEGAL was recorded and the rehearsals for the 1978 tour took place. You will gather that it was a holiday not a Dylan-trip, though we did detour a very short distance off the coast road to see the entrance of Shangri-La and had a drive around Point Dume - all of 15 minutes out of the holiday.
