Just after Bob Dylan's March 3 concert at Tokyo International Forum, music maven and broadcast personality Peter Barakan met with entertainment writer Philip Brasor at a Tokyo coffee shop to reflect.

Barakan: "I was surprised at how many of his greatest hits he actually did. I wasn't expecting so many."

Brasor: "A woman I met last week told me she saw him a few years ago in New Zealand. She was disappointed because he didn't do anything famous. I'm not sure what she meant -- that he just did stuff from the '80s?"
