Vi blir kjent med den unge Bob Dylan i Martin Scorseses dokumentar om ikonet. (Foto: Sony Music Norge)
Under Martin Scorsese dyktige regi, blir historien om Bob Dylan fram til 1966 ikke bare fortellingen om en av vår tids viktigste musikere, men også et stykke amerikansk etterkrigshistorie. Tre fredager framover sender NRK regissørens kritikerroste dokumentar om den unge Bob Dylan.
Hovedpersonen er selv med på å fortelle om hvordan midtvestgutten Robert Zimmermann ble ikonet Bob Dylan, og i første del følger vi ham gjennom oppveksten og fram til han ga ut sitt første album â€Bob Dylan†i 1962. Dokumentaren inneholder klipp som aldri har blitt vist tidligere.
Fra rock til folk
Han forteller selv om oppveksten og universitetstiden i Minnesota, og overgangen fra rock til folk. Dylan syntes folk-miljøet hadde mer rom for kreativitet, og da han endelig hørte den amerikanske folk-artisten Woody Guthrie falt alt på plass. – Woddy Guthrie hadde et helt eget uttrykk, forteller han. – Og i tillegg hadde han noe han ville si. Det var noe helt nytt i mine ører. Han var en radikaler. Jeg ville synge som ham.
Dokumentaren byr på musikk fra Bob Dylan selv, i tillegg til mange smakebiter fra de som inspirerte ham og formet ham som artist.
Om regissøren
Regissør Martin Scorsese er for de fleste kanskje mest kjent for spillefilmer som â€Taxi Driverâ€, â€The Aviatorâ€, â€Goodfellas†og â€Gangs of New Yorkâ€, enn for musikkdokumentarer. Men han er også mannen som klippet den legendariske â€Woodstockâ€-filmen fra 1970 og regisserte dokumentaren â€The Last Waltz†om The Band åtte år senere.
Innkjøpt dokumentar i tre deler (2005)
Originaltittel: â€No Direction Homeâ€
Regi: Martin Scorsese
quote:
10. desember er det på dagen 25 år siden denne legendariske konserten fant sted i Charlotte, North Carolina, USA.
Jeg begynte "research" for artikkelen for drøye to år siden. Under et tokt på nyhetsgruppa rec.music.dylan dumpet jeg tilfeldigvis borti mannen som teipet konserten i 1978. Han stilte seg villig til disposisjon og sendte meg til og med råkopier av alt han hadde teipet både i 1978 og 1980. Teiperen ønsker å være anonym. Jeg startet å skrive og gjorde flere "intervjuer" før alt ble stille i over et år. For en måned siden klarte jeg å spore ham opp igjen slik at jeg kunne fullføre arbeidet.
Selve konserten oppdaget jeg gjennom bootlegen "Hush hush sweet Charlotte" for cirka fem år siden. Jeg hadde allerede "Street Legal" som et av mine favorittalbum og ble med en gang hekta på hele 1978-turnéen. Jeg skaffet meg fort det meste av konsert-, demo- og turnéøvingsopptak fra dette året. Ikke noe av det slår dette opptaket.

Nummer 25 i min høyst private kåring av Bob Dylans største innspillinger.
"Tangled Up in Blue" innleder â€Blood On the Tracks†fra 1975, som mange mener er Bob Dylans aller beste plate. I tillegg er sangen å finne på diverse samleplater. Sjekk også den alternative versjonen på "The Bootleg Series vol. 1-3" og den glimrende, omskrevne utgaven på â€Real Liveâ€, utgitt i 1984.
"Tangled Up in Blue" er en av sangene Bob Dylan har framført flest ganger i konsertsammenheng de siste åra.

Love you more than madness, more than waves upon the sea,
Love you more than life itself, you mean that much to me.

Of the two sisters, I loved the young.
With sensitive instincts, she was the creative one.
The constant scapegoat, she was easily undone
By the jealousy of others around her.
For her parasite sister, I had no respect,
Bound by her boredom, her pride to protect.
Countless visions of the other she'd reflect
As a crutch for her scenes and her society
quote:
And so it did happen like it could have been foreseen,
The timeless explosion of fantasy's dream.
At the peak of the night, the king and the queen
Tumbled all down into pieces.
"The tragic figure!" her sister did shout,
"Leave her alone, God damn you, get out!"
And I in my armor, turning about
And nailing her to the ruins of her pettiness.
Beneath a bare light bulb the plaster did pound
Her sister and I in a screaming battleground.
And she in between, the victim of sound,
Soon shattered as a child 'neath her shadows.
quote:
All is gone, all is gone, admit it, take flight.
I gagged twice, doubled, tears blinding my sight.
My mind it was mangled, I ran into the night
Leaving all of love's ashes behind me.
The wind knocks my window, the room it is wet.
The words to say I'm sorry, I haven't found yet.
I think of her often and hope whoever she's met
Will be fully aware of how precious she is.
Ah, my friends from the prison, they ask unto me,
"How good, how good does it feel to be free?"
And I answer them most mysteriously,
"Are birds free from the chains of the skyway?"

JOHNNY CASH ON 'THE FREEWHEELIN' BOB DYLAN'
"I didn't know him back then... but I liked the album so much I wrote him a letter... and I congratulated him on a fine country record. I could hear Jimmie Rodgers in his record, and Vernon Dalhart from back in the twenties, the whole talking blues genre. I said, 'You're about the best country singer I've heard in years'... He wrote back and seemed kind of flabbergasted..."
quote:
JOHNNY CASH ON MEETING BOB DYLAN
"He and I were writing each other letters before we'd ever met. I got a letter from him saying that... something like he was from Hibbing, Minnesota, and there was nobody out there but me and Hank Williams, and he was glad to hear about that part of the world that was out there, you know -- he kinda said that in his own words. The first time I met him was at the Newport Folk Festival in 1963. I was on the show with Joan Baez, Bob, and Ramblin' Jack Elliott. Then one night Bob Johnston brought Dylan down to Nashville to do the 'Skyline' album..."
quote:
Christopher Wren on Johnny Cash meeting Bob Dylan
In 1963, Cash was in New York, and went down to Greenwich Village to listen to Peter LaFarge sing his first Indian protest songs at the Gaslight café. Backstage Johnny Cash ran into Bob Dylan. "I'd gotten some letters from John about my work, which knocked me out," says Dylan who had followed Cash since his early records. "He came down to the Gaslight and that's where I first saw him. I was struck by how tall he was. I didn't imagine him being that tall, by his album covers. He was dressed in black, with a white shirt. I saw him again at Newport. He gave me his guitar, and (sic) old Martin. I still got it."
They became friends when they both sang at the Newport Folk Festival in the summer of 1964. When Dylan later walked on-stage with an electric guitar and swung into rock, the staid festival went up for grabs. Foul, cried the purists, and Dylan was for months afterwards subjected to condemnation. To Cash, who moved easily from country to pop to folk and back again, the criticism seemed silly. It was what Dylan said, not how he said it, that mattered. Cash sat down and dashed off a note to the folk song magazine 'Broadside ,' in which the controversy of Dylan's electrification continued to rage. "Shut up and let him sing!" Cash suggested.

DYLAN'S NASHVILLE SESSIONS
JOHNNY CASH: "Bob and Sara and the children stayed at my house while he was doin' that album, and he asked me to be guest on it -- well, as it turned out we were in the studio and just... they turned on the recorders for about two hours...
BOB JOHNSTON: "We set up some microphones and stools and they came in there and met each other [CHUCKLES], and went out there and started playing!"
JOHNNY CASH: "One that came out of that session was 'Girl from the North Country' -- was a guest song on Bob Dylan's album. Bob Dylan's appearance brought a great deal of attention to Nashville, a lot of attention that a lot of my peers did not give him credit for, but still he brought a lot of attention on Nashville -- people like him and people to follow who recorded songs in Nashville because Bob Dylan had..."
BOB JOHNSTON: " And when he came to Nashville, he came -- and it was history coming. Why the hell was Dylan in Nashville? Blonde on Blonde combined Memphis and combined the Southern boys and combined a whole lot of things that... roots of the actual people, that's what was happening! John Wesley Harding, in the middle of Rock'n'Roll,was *three* people -- that's insane for business people or whatever...supposedly. It wasn't insane evidently; I think that Dylan is the one that broke the door down to Tin Pan Alley and I think he's the one that opened it up for Nashville. I think he should be given credit. I think for what he did with John Wesley Harding and Nashville Skyline that he should be in the Country Music Hall of Fame."
CHARLIE McCOY: "It's probably the one biggest thing that ever happened to Nashville -- as a recording center of all kinds of music. Because after he came here it was like people... people in the rock music business all of a sudden said 'Oh, wait a minute. Dylan went to Nashville, so it must be okay to go there.'"
JOHNNY CASH: I think Bob Dylan was scared or even a little embarrassed. He's a very shy person. I can really appreciate that. When we went out to rehearse they had an old shack hanging from wires behind him to try to give it a backwoods look. He came offstage upset. He said, 'I'm gonna be the laughing stock of the business! My fans are gonna laugh in my face over that thing!' I said, 'What would you like?' He said, 'Have 'em get that out of the way. Just put me out there myself.' I said, alright, you got it.
LET'S HAVE A PARTY AT JOHNNY CASH'S HOUSE
After the show, a relieved Dylan returns to Johnny Cash's house with famed bluegrass banjo player Earl Scruggs, Bob Johnston, and country songwriter Boudleaux Bryant for dinner. After dinner, they each perform a song, Dylan at his turn singing the old standard "These Working Hands." According to Graham Nash, who also recalls a dinner at Cash's, attended by, among others, himself, his then-girlfriend Joni Mitchell, Kris Kristofferson, and Eddy Arnold, Dylan sang four or five songs. Presumably it was the very same dinner. Nash recalls Sara sitting there crying at the drama of the moment.

Da â€Oh Mercy†ble sluppet i 1989, hadde ikke Bob Dylan gitt ut en bedre plate siden â€Street Legalâ€, elleve år tidligere. Men jeg klarer ikke la være å tenke på hva albumet kunne ha vært, dersom det hadde vært gjennomsyret av â€Dignity†fra første sekund.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Bob Dylan er ikke heller så lett å lese alltid. Han har bestandig vært en dårlig kritiker av sitt eget materiale.

Hvorfor i himmelens navn valgte han å pakke en slik tekst og en slik følelsesladet vokal inn i slike trøstesløse lydkulisser? Kan det være selve innpakningen som gjorde at Dylan vraket låta fra LPen? Er det virkelig ikke mulig for "menigheten" å høre at denne låta suger? Jeg er fristet til å si: Les heller boka. [B)]

Dylan har tydeligvis vært i lyrisk storform i det siste, og sparer ikke på de store bildene. «Thunder in the mountain/Fires on the moon/there's a ruckus in the alley/and the sun will be here soon» er åpningslinjer som setter standarden for et sett sanger som kommer til å bli tolket herfra til evigheten.
quote:
CD: Rock-historiens største og viktigste artist er fortsatt kreativ.
quote:
Albumet åpner med den streite, svingende bluesrockeren «Thunder On The Mountain», der han blant annet synger om Alicia Keys. Allerede første tekstlinje viser at her er en poetisk mester i aksjon: «Thunder on the mountain, fire's on the moon. There's a ruckus in the alley and the sun will be here soon.» Senere i sangen forteller Dylan at han trenger ingen guide, han vet allerede veien.
quote:
Når jeg går gjennom utgivelsene hans siden debuten i 1962, finner jeg ca. 15 album som fortjener terningkast fem eller seks. Dette er ett av dem. Det er ingen over, ingen på siden av denne mannen.
quote:
Bob Dylan tells Rolling Stone that he understands why kids today are illegally downloading songs instead of buying records. He says he understands because modern records aren't "worth nothing anyway."
The legendary troubadour went even further, "You listen to these modern records, they're atrocious, they have sound all over them," he added. "There's no definition of nothing, no vocal, no nothing, just like ... static."
Dylan isn't even happy with the sound of his own cd, preferring the big sound you hear in the studio. His Modern Times hits stores next week.
quote:
Med en ny skiva så gott som varje år i 40 år är det inga som helst problem att hitta texter att analysera.
Bob Dylans produktion innehåller det mesta, från de tidiga folksångerna, via genombrottet som protestsångare till religiösa grubblerier, personliga kärlekssånger och surrealistiska utsvävningar.
- Nu är vi elva deltagare som analyserar Bob Dylans texter i en studiecirkel, säger Elmer Eliasson, som tog initiativ till cirkeln och som leder den en kväll i veckan.

- Det är i alla fall ett mästerverk, säger Elmer Eliasson.
quote:(hentet fra Bob Dylan - jeg er en annen (Petter Myhr)
Det dreier seg om et vaktskifte, om en ny orden. Teksten starter med å summere opp 16 år, sannsynligvis de 16 år som har gått siden Dylan startet sin karriere. Vi møter kvinner og menn som er spaltet og desperate, mens "den gode hyrde" (Jesus?) sørger. Fortelleren trer inn i sangen på markedsplassen, hvor handelsmenn og tyver tørster etter makt. Kaos og forvirring råder, helt til vi blir vitne til en oppstandelse, på den tredje dag, akkurat som Jesus "Forty-eight hours later, the sun is breaking." Den oppstadne taler til folket og forteller at han har pusset deres sko, han har flyttet deres fjell, men Edens hage brenner og menneskene står foran et valg:"Either brace yourself for elimination/ Or else your hearts must have the courage for the changing of the guards." Vi må ha mot til å forteta et vaktskifte, hvis ikke går vi rett inn i tilintetgjørelsen. Den oppstadne forkynner også at freden vil komme, og at de falske idolene skal falle.
Dylan sier: "A song like that, there's no way of knowing... what the motivation was behind it" (GBS, nr 3)
Det er verdt å merke seg at sangen fades både inn og ut, den har verken begynnelse eller slutt, den skildrer et viktig øyeblikk i en lang historie, et vaktskifte.
quote:
Bob at his most Yeatsian and one of his first "the end is nigh" songs that would keep him busy up through Modern Times and possibly beyond
quote:
Fantastic Song! I really like Street Legal, always have, despite the bad rap it generally gets. And this is the best song by far - what a start - the voice strong, powerful and a great set of lyrics. The girls add another dimension - the gospel call and response is perfect - to my ear anyway.
Definately in my top 10 Bob songs ... tho that is a hard list to settle on!
quote:
This is one of those songs of that era that seems really tied to what was going on in Central America. Bob seems more concerned about this stuff that any other American songwriter at the time.
"they're killing nuns and soldiers"
and every line from carribean wind pretty much.
I dont know why but this whole song always seemed to me to be about some central or south american revolution. Did anybody else get that impression?

quote:
BOB DYLAN & BOB NEUWIRTH
Bob Dylan and Bobby Neuwirth first met Edie in December of 1964 - approximately a month before she met Warhol.
Bobby Neuwirth: Bobby Dylan and I occasionally ventured out into the poppy nightlife world. I think somebody who had met Edie said, 'You have to meet this terrific girl.' Dylan called her, and she chartered a limousine and came to see us. We spent an hour or two, all laughing and giggling, having a terrific time. I think we met in the bar upstairs at the Kettle of Fish on MacDougal Street, which was one of the great places of the Sixties. It was just before the Christmas holidays; it was snowing, and I remember we went to look at the display on Houston Street in front of the Catholic church... Edie was fantastic. She was always fantastic." (EDIE166)
Neuwirth had first met Dylan at the beginning of May 1961 at the Indian Neck Folk Festival in Connecticut. In February 1964 Neuwirth joined Dylan on the road as a go-fer and became his "right-hand man." At the time that Neuwirth and Dylan met Edie, Dylan was staying in Room 211 at The Chelsea Hotel with his future wife, Sara Lownds, and her 3 year old child from a previous marriage. While Sara stayed in the hotel taking care of her child, Neuwirth and Dylan enjoyed New York's nightlife. The Kettle of Fish was one of their regular haunts. Dylan was also having an affair with Joan Baez which had begun in May 1963 after both performed at the Monterey Jazz Festival. The relationship with Baez continued until May 1965 when Baez broke up with Dylan after discovering him and Lownds together in Dylan's hotel room during a concert tour of Great Britain. Dylan had previously neglected to tell Baez about Lownds.
In November 1965, Dylan married Sara in a secret ceremony - something that Edie apparently found out from Warhol during an argument at the Gingerman Restaurant in February 1966.
Paul Morrissey: "She [Edie] said, 'They're [Dylan's people] going to make a film and I'm supposed to star in it with Bobby [Dylan].' Suddenly it was Bobby this and Bobby that, and they realized that she had a crush on him. They thought he'd been leading her on, because just that day Andy had heard in his lawyer's office that Dylan had been secretly married for a few months - he married Sarah Lownds in November 1965... Andy couldn't resist asking, 'Did you know Edie that Bob Dylan has gotten married?' She was trembling. They realized that she really thought of herself as entering a relationship with Dylan, that maybe he hadn't been truthful." (UT36/37)
Edie went to make a phone call and when she came back she announced that she was leaving the Factory. Gerard Malanga, who was also there, thought she had rung Dylan. Malanga recalled that "she left and everybody was kind of quiet. It was stormy and dramatic. Edie disappeared and that was the end of it. She never came back." (UT37)
There is no evidence that Edie ever had a sexual relationship with Bob Dylan. However, she did have one with Bob Neuwirth.
Edie Sedgwick [from the Ciao! Manhattan tapes]: "It was really sad - Bobby [Neuwirth]'s and my affair. The only true, passionate, and lasting love scene, and I practically ended up in the psychopathic ward. I had really learned about sex from him, making love, loving, giving. It just completely blew my mind - it drove me insane. I was like a sex slave to this man. I could make love for forty-eight hours, forty-eight hours, forty-eight hours, without getting tired. But the minute he left me alone, I felt so empty and lost that I would start popping pills... (EDIE315).
quote:
Bob Dylan's album Blonde on Blonde was released on May 16, 1966. One of the women featured on the inner sleeve was Edie Sedgwick. Some of the songs were rumored to be about Edie. And Andy.
Andy Warhol: "I liked Dylan, the way he created a brilliant new style... I even gave him one of my silver Elvis paintings in the days when he was first around. Later on, though, I got paranoid when I heard rumors that he had used the Elvis as a dart board up in the country. When I'd ask, 'Why did he do that?' I'd invariably get hearsay answers like 'I hear he feels you destroyed Edie,' or 'Listen to Like a Rolling Stone - I think you're the 'diplomat on the chrome horse,' man.' I didn't know exactly what they meant by that - I never listened much to the words of songs - but I got the tenor of what people were saying - that Dylan didn't like me, that he blamed me for Edie's drugs." (POP108)
Nico thought that Dylan might have been referring to Edie in the song, Leopard-Skin Pill-Box Hat, which was included on the album. Some claimed that the phrase "your debutante" referred to Edie on the track, Stuck Inside of Mobile With the Memphis Blues Again. It was also rumored that Just Like a Woman was about Edie. The non-Warhol film that Edie made after she left the Factory, Ciao Manhattan, had Just Like a Woman as part of its soundtrack. Some Dylan biographers, however, think that the song was probably about Dylan's relationship with Joan Baez.

Joan Chandos Baez)
(January 9, 1941 - )
folksinger, activist
Joan Baez was born in Staten Island, New York. Her father was a physicist, born in Mexico, and her mother of Scottish and English descent. Her mother's best friend, Ruth, married a Norwegian. That way Joan came to know small strange villages with people that inspired her to write songs. The waterfalls gave her unique melodies in mind.
Joan grew up in New York and California, and when her father took a faculty position in Massachusetts, she attended Boston University and began to sing in coffeehouses and small clubs. Bob Gibson invited her to attend the 1959 Newport Folk Festival where she was a hit.
Vanguard Records signed Baez and in 1960 her first album, "Joan Baez," came out. Baez was known for her soprano voice, her haunting songs, and, until she cut it in 1968, her long black hair. Early in her career she performed with Bob Dylan, and they toured together in the 1970s.
Subjected to racial slurs and discrimination in her own childhood because of her Mexican heritage and features, Joan Baez became involved with a variety of social causes early in her career, including civil rights and nonviolence. She was sometimes jailed for her protests. Joan Baez married David Harris, a Vietnam draft protestor, in 1968, and he was in jail for most of the years of their marriage. They divorced in 1973, after having one child, Gabriel Earl. It is said Joan fled to Norway in the early 80ies to look for a special man.

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Bob Dylan, whose latest chart-topping release failed to secure a Grammy nomination for the coveted album of the year, picked up two consolation prizes at the awards ceremony on Sunday
quote:
The rock icon's "Modern Times" was named best contemporary folk/Americana album.
His composition "Someday Baby," used for an iPod television commercial last year, also won for solo rock vocal performance. But the tune lost the rock song race to the Red Hot Chili Peppers' "Dani California."
Dylan was not present at the ceremony to receive the statuette.
His career haul stands at 10. He previously won the contemporary folk Grammy in 1998 for "Time Out of Mind," which was named album of year, and in 2002 for "Love and Theft," which was nominated for the top album prize.
He won the rock vocal Grammy in 1980 for his gospel tune "Gotta Serve Somebody."
"Modern Times," his first album since "Love and Theft," debuted at No. 1 on the U.S. pop charts last September. At 65, Dylan became the oldest living person to achieve this feat.

Och visst överraskar Dylan. Stort. Inte genom att vara särskilt mer publikflörtande än vanligt. Hatten skuggar ögonen på scenen, mikrofonmumlet från den grusiga rösten ger få ledtrådar till vilken text han egentligen sjunger.
quote:
Nej, den stora överraskningen, är att han spelar gitarr de första sju numren, något hans nästan inte alls gör på scen längre. Han till och med solar litegrann, ser nöjd ut, gungar, ler till och med och framstår som en äkta frontfigur. Dessutom spelar han nästan i stort sett inte något från något från senaste skivan "Modern Times". Det dröjer ända tills åttonde låten innan Dylan byter gitarren mot att spela stående vid sin keyboard i "Rollin' and tumblin'" Istället kör han breda versioner av sådant som "It's not dark yet", "Highway 61 revisited", "Hard rains gonna fall" och bjuder faktiskt på ett förtjusande lallande i "Lay, lady, lay".
Det tajta femmannabandet ger ovanligt tungt bluesrockstuk åt det mesta, det är kanske också därför som låtvalet från senaste skivan inskränker sig till de rockigare numren. Som andra extranummer kommer nämligen "Thunder on the mountain".
quote:
I konsertlokalen var stämningen hög och Bob Dylan själv som spelade gitarr under första halvan av konserten och sedan bytte till synth, utstrålade själv en spelglädje som många tycktes ha saknat.
quote:
Det blir givetvis inget â€Helloooo Stockholm†denna kväll.
Men Bob Dylan ler faktiskt. Hela tre gånger under de första fem minuterna
...
När jag i slutet av första extranumret, en raspig version av Like a rolling stone, skyndar hem för att lämna denna text har Bob Dylan fortfarande inte yttrat ett ord till publiken.
Men han var desto frikostigare med leenden. Väldigt generöst räknat blev det hela fyra och en halv stycken dragningar på munnen.
quote:
Prince is the black Bob Dylan. Both men are from Minnesota; both have had some of their biggest hits through performances of their songs by others (in Prince's case: "Manic Monday" by the Bangles; "Nothing Compares 2 U" by Sinead O'Connor); both are very bad but somehow weirdly compelling film actors; both reserve the right on occasion to explore the limits of repetition (Dylan's interminable blues jams, Prince's interminable funk jams); and both are massively prolific and inventive musicians. Both are, to use the word with due care, geniuses.
quote:
The legend candidly divulged that George Harrison, particularly, struggled with finding his voice within the revolutionary quartet. "George got stuck with being the Beatle that had to fight to get songs on records because of Lennon and McCartney. Well, who wouldn’t get stuck?".
Dylan didn’t hold back in praising the Beatle who was most serious from the beginning about being a musician: "If George had had his own group and was writing his own songs back then, he’d have been probably just as big as anybody."
quote:
Furthermore, Dylan scoffed at the perpetual rumors that he had competitive feelings toward McCartney and Lennon: "They were fantastic singers. Lennon, to this day, it’s hard to find a better singer than Lennon was, or than McCartney was and still is."
quote:
Dylan concluded his praise of the “cute†Beatle: "I’m in awe of McCartney. He’s about the only one I’m in awe of. He can do it all. And he’s never let up…He’s just so damn effortless."

This is the first show since the 2005 summer show in Nashville which has
been worth reviewing and I have seen plenty in between. In a word,
stunning. Something has happened since the lackluster 2007 summer shows
which has revived Bob Dylan. Maybe it was the "spirits on the Ryman" or
maybe it was the anticipation of the explosive cameo song with Jack White
or maybe it was an energetic and very on Elvis Costello 40 minute pre-Bob
teaser. Or maybe it was the recent rest from touring. Bob was so energetic
and was seen in mini-jig behind the keyboards constantly. All songs were
grand except "Highway 61," but even that is hard to judge because it came
after the 1st ever live performance of "Meet Me In The Morning" with the
maniacal guest appearance by Jack White and his blistering guitarwork.
Jack sang this gem like it was never going to be sung again, with Bob who
looked in subtle awe while servantly accompanying his guest on guitar, and
the sell-out Ryman crowd absolutely kept an ongoing eruption during the
entire song. This was, as one concert goer said while leaving, ..."one for
the ages." You could hear Bob's lyrics with fine precision in the
acoustically magical Ryman, and Denny Freeman was at the top of his game
on "Spirit," "Nettie," "Desolation," "Workingman's" and "Levee." The
kicker of the night (despite Jack) was the surreal performance of "You're
A Big Girl Now." Totally breathtaking. The lyrics floated pain, longing
and fading memories of pleasure through the crescending and descending
sounds of the song. Indeed this Bob Dylan concert was a Bob Dylan concert
for all time and one which may never be topped!

Jeg innrømmer det gjerne, Bob Dylan har aldri grepet tak i meg for alvor. Jeg skjønner godt fascinasjonen, men det blir litt som med golf og en venn av meg; han holder seg bevisst unna fordi han vet at han blir hektet om han starter...
Men, Modern Times liker jeg kjempegodt. Den er lettere tilgjengelig, mer iørefallende og mer up-beat enn mye av de andre tingene jeg har hørt av gubben. Sikkert derfor nettopp den plata er min favoritt, mens du tviler Asbjørn...
Anyhow, det står stor respekt av ditt committment.

Har du (Asbjørn, altså, hvem ellers?) noen gang tenkt på å melde deg på sånn derre "Kvitt eller dobbelt" program?
Det kan da umulig være mange andre som kan måle seg med deg når det gjelder kunnskap om Dylan. Men det er kanskje ikke tingen for deg?
Det hadde kanskje blitt et valgets kval, om du skulle stille i Dylan t-skjorte eller Leeds-trøye?
Kunne kanskje kombinert det, med DYLAN på baksiden av trøya.
A Special Citation to Bob Dylan for his profound impact on popular music and American culture, marked by lyrical compositions of extraordinary poetic power.
These lines from “Standing in the Doorway†made an impression on me when I heard them back in 1997. It gains the listener to hear them in the context of the song, but even set apart, they succinctly capture the feeling of alienation amidst other people’s happiness.
The light in this place is so bad
Making me sick in the head
All the laughter is just making me sad
The stars have turned cherry red
Another one of my favorite songs from Dylan’s classic 1997 album “Time Out of Mind,†“Standing in the Doorway†includes some of his most touching lyrics. In addition to the ones you printed, I’m partial to the lines: “Last night I danced with a stranger / But she just reminded me you were the one.â€
This from “Visions of Johannaâ€:
“Inside the museum
Infinity goes up on trial
Voices echo ‘This is what
Salvation must be like after a while’
But Mona Lisa musta had the highway blues
You can tell by the way she smilesâ€
The genius of those lines can be condensed into two words: “Voices echo.†With those words, Dylan evokes the conformity of the museum-goers, echoing each other, and the emptiness of the museum halls through which the voices echo. Then he grabs you by the neck and reminds you that there is honest expression in those museums and you understand in a flash of humor that comparing Mona Lisa to a blues is one hell of a compliment to Leonardo Da Vinci.
Don’t ask me nuthin’ about nuthin’ I just might tell ya the truth!
At dawn my lover comes to me
And tells me of her dreams
With no attempts to shovel the glimpse
Into the ditch of what each one means
Gates of Eden
Well God is in His heaven,
and we are what was his……
[In the fury of the moment I can see the Master’s hand
In every leaf that trembles, in every grain of sand
Every grain of sand

So I look like a walking mountain range
Then I’m gonna ride into Omaha on a horse
Out to the country club & the golf course
Carrying a New York Times
Shoot a few holes, blow their minds

Catch you when your troubles feel like they weigh a ton.
He could be standing next to you,
The person that you’d notice least.

The sky cracked its poems in naked wonder
That the clinging of the church bells blew far into the breeze
Leaving only bells of lightning and its thunder

Wild Wild Web: Bob Hates Andy
By Larry Ryan
(http://blogs.independent.co.uk/photos/uncategorized/2008/04/21/bobandy.jpg)
Time then for another odd website dedicated to the meeting of two 20th century icons. Last week it was Elvis and Nixon, now it's an all together more icy tete a tete between Andy Warhol and Bob Dylan.
First published last August, "Bob Hates Andy" is a monthly comic strip imagining conversations between the pair; Bob all enigmatic and poetic, Andy all detached and ironic.
Bob visited Andy in his New York studio, the Factory, in 1965 and was filmed for a Screen Test (which you can watch here and here). By all accounts the pair didn't exactly hit it off with Dylan unimpressed by Warhol and his coterie, though Warhol did present him with one of his silver Elvis paintings.
Rumour had it that Dylan alternately used the painting as a dartboard or attached it to a motorbike and drove it round Woodstock, though it seems ultimately he traded it for his manager Albert Grossman's couch, which, in the long run was probably a financial error.
Further rumours suggest Dylan "hated" Warhol because of Edie Sedgwick, one of Warhol's "Superstars". Dylan may have blamed Warhol for Sedgwick's descent into drug addiction. Drowning in a sea of hearsay and conjecture Dylan had a putative relationship with her and she may have been the inspiration for the songs "Leopard-Skin Pill-Box Hat", "Like A Rolling Stone" and "Just Like a Woman". In turn, Warhol perhaps resented Dylan for Sedgwick's departure from the Factory set in 1966.
The Sedgwick/Warhol/Dylan story was tackled in a heavy-handed manner in the execrable biopic Factory Girl. A film which moved Lou Reed to declare; "I read that script. It's one of the most disgusting, foul things I've seen - by any illiterate retard - in a long time. There's no limit to how low some people will go to write something to make money".
Syke, syke mann! Dylan i en sådan stund? ;D
Og for noen frisyrer du har funnet fram til Asbjørn. :oTha Alarm er definitivt 80-talls ;D
7 - Bergen Dylan Society has its annual Bob Birthday Party (raising the US flag) the nearest Friday (May 23) as per usual. Want to join, contact apsve@start.no...dvs Bjørn holder sin årlige bursdagsfest for Bob :)
Carelessness. I lost my one true love. I started drinking. The first thing I know, I'm in a card game. Then I'm in a crap game. I wake up in a pool hall. Then this big Mexican lady drags me off the table, takes me to Philadelphia. She leaves me alone in her house, and it burns down. I wind up in Phoenix. I get a job as a Chinaman. I start working in a dime store, and move in with a 13-year-old girl. Then this big Mexican lady from Philadelphia comes in and burns the house down. I go down to Dallas. I get a job as a "before" in a Charles Atlas "before and after" ad. I move in with a delivery boy who can cook fantastic chili and hot dogs. Then this 13-year-old girl from Phoenix comes and burns the house down. The delivery boy—he ain't so mild: He gives her the knife, and the next thing I know I'm in Omaha. It's so cold there, by this time I'm robbing my own bicycles and frying my own fish. I stumble onto some luck and get a job as a carburetor out at the hot-rod races every Thursday night. I move in with a high school teacher who also does a little plumbing on the side, who ain't much to look at, but who's built a special kind of refrigerator that can turn newspaper into lettuce. Everything's going good until that delivery boy shows up and tries to knife me. Needless to say, he burned the house down, and I hit the road. The first guy that picked me up asked me if I wanted to be a star. What could I say?
Jakob Dylan har laget mange fine skiver som frontfigur for bandet sitt Wallflowers. Personlig har jeg platen Red Letter Days fra 2002 som favoritt. Sist gang jeg hørte Jakob Dylan på plate var sammen med en annen sønn av en legende, Dhani Harrison, med sin flotte versjon av John Lennons Gimme Some Truth. En låt som var deres bidrag på Lennon-tributen "Instant Karma: The Amnesty International Campaign to Save Darfur".
BA
Nærmer seg Bobber'n
Han har tidligere blitt sammenlignet med Tom Petty, både i utrykk og rent genremessig. Muligens en artist som til og med gjør Tom Petty bedre enn Petty selv på sine eldre dager.
Men med denne platen beveger Jakob Dylan seg nærmere sin far, Bob, rent lyd og genremessig. I motsetning til Wallflowers mer rocka og til tider overflødige lydbilde, er denne platen strippet ned til det helt enkle gitarbaserte og fintfølende. Jakob Dylan flørter fint med americanagenren og minner i grunn litt om en ung Bruce Springsteen.
Jakob Dylan har uansett en fin og særegen røst som kler denne stilen godt.
Selv om de første sporene på platen som Evil Is Alive And Well og Valley Of The Low Sun er gode låter, er det etter hvert de virkelige gullkornene kommer.
Will It Grow er simpelten fantastisk og låter som I Told You I Couldn't Stop og War Is Kind er virkelig med på å gi denne platen det løftet den trenger for kunne bite fra seg i et ellers svært så utprøvd musikalsk terreng.
Jakob Dylan klarer seg godt på egne ben og har med Seeing Things levert en enkel, men god plate. Og produsent Rick Rubin er for lengst genierklært, med god grunn.
Veldig bra!
Jakob Dylan
Dette er rett og slett en elegant produsert perle av et album, mener BAs anmelder.
Jakob Dylan - yngstesønnen til Bob og Sara Dylan - har parkert rockebandet The Wallflowers, og brukt mye tid i Hollywood-fjellene sammen med stjerneprodusent Rick Rubin.
"Seeing There" er 38-åringens første soloalbum. Alle de ti låtene blir styrt av kassegitaren, tekstene går fra kjærlighet til krig på null tid, og vokalen er en klar krysning mellom pappaen og en Tom Petty.
Likevel klarer Jakob å lage en plate som er veldig forskjellig fra farens. Dette er rett og slett en elegant produsert perle av et album fra en singer-songwriter som virkelig har funnet sin stemme, og med små nyanser som hele tiden gir nye lytteopplevelser.
Låter å laste ned: "War is Kind", "I Told You I Couldn't Stop", "Evil is Alive and Well!".

"Forever Young"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oQ7nOAVaz84&feature=related
As a child of the 1960s, he makes the necessary pilgrimages to Woodstock and the Minnesota birthplace of Bob Dylan, although the best, and typically enigmatic, Dylan story comes from a female leftist friend who declined Dylan's proposition at a Greenwich Village party in the 60s. She didn't see him again until years later when she was standing at a bus stop and a van with darkened windows drew up; at the wheel was Dylan, who asked: "Changed your mind?";D
I can't speak Dutch, but Norwegian is close enough to Dutch for me to understand most of it so I'll try to translate a paragraph for you:
"Girl From The Red River Shore could be the strongest song Dylan has written in years. The ghost ballad is an epic number where Duke Robillard's guitar and Jim Dickinsons piano is drawn towards Dylans halucinatory and ghostlike voice."
...vurderte å legge inn den i går :)
Bruce spiller Blowin' in the wind ....og litt CCC.

Tidenes Dylanopplevelse i Bergen på fredag, toppes muligens i Stockholm i morgen. Veldig bra forspiel med konsert med Mavis Staples i kveld, som Bob faktisk fridde til i sin ungdom.Hun sa vel på en konsert for få år siden at hu aldri skulle ha sagt nei... :o
