Write something about Bob Dylan’s birthday.
The Bible can also be added in 4000 characters.
Young boy from Duluth played guitar in Minnesota, went to New York, visited Woody Guthrie, performed in cafés, wrote songs that were considered protest songs, concluded an electrical guitar at a folk festival (the audience protested), took up three masterpieces within one and a half years, and had a change forever, and had one Motorcycle accident. That was the first 26 years.
Since then, Bob Dylan has been a legend.
Bob Dylan is everywhere (and nowhere)
He came back with every new record, was back, made moderate plates and good and fantastic and sloppy ones, began his “Never Ending Tour”, which had not ended so far, appeared in front of the Pope, designed radio broadcasts, welded iron gardeners, launched a whiskey that he called, wrote or wrote an autobiography that he “chronicles 1” named, whereupon no second part followed, got an Oscar and wished “Love and Tranquility” from Australia via satellite transmission, finally received the Nobel Prize for Literature and did not go to the award in Stockholm.
Bob Dylan is a Schelm and Schlemihl, a revolutionary and revisionist, a self -taught and private scholar, a historiographer and collector. Before Dylan, the rock’n’roll acted of love, sex, drugs and cars. Since Dylan, for example, he has been dealing with a leopard fur hat and parking meters and, above all, I that tells the stories. Dylan invented the songwriter as an author of himself. But the more he told himself, the further he moved us. He looked for the myths in which he could disappear. For a while, at the beginning of the 1990s, he sang old folk walks. A few years ago, he only recorded songs from the 1950s and 1960s a while, especially those that Frank Sinatra sang.
“Dylan didn’t do anything for the first time, but he made most of the most of the time, namely his way”
The most droll cliché about Dylan is that he cannot sing – which is strange insofar as his tone (“Nölig”) was jokingly imitated by so many professions and privately, including Joni Mitchell and John Lennon. Woody Guthrie said after an anecdote: “He can’t write songs, but he can sing well.”
Dylan crowned the Talking Blues with the consciousness stream, the oral history with the literature, plus the hit “La Bamba”, and that was “like a rolling stone”. No rocket science. Dylan didn’t do anything for the first time, but he made most of the most of it in particular, namely his way. Every now and then philologists discover that Dylan “wrote down”. His work is completely undisguised a huge treasure of quotes, a labyrinth of references and relatives, a register of hints and footnotes.
“Time Out of Mind”: Anyone who hadn’t thought Dylan has so far been a believer
On his album “Rough and Rowdy Ways” from 2020, the piece “Murder Most Foul”, which is a record of its own, is 17 minutes, a sentimental journey by names, places and song titles since Kennedy, the year in which “The Freewheelin ‘Bob Dylan” appeared, the actual birth of Dylans as a songwriter. “Blowin ‘in the Wind” is on “Masters of War”, “Bob Dylan’s Blues”, “A Hard Rain’s A-Gonna Fall”, “Girl from the North Country”, “Talking World War III Blues”. He then needed three years to his greatest record, the double album “Blonde on Blonde”, the “Thin Wild Mercury Sound”. Everyone then made double albums, but at Dylan you know why the album is twice.
The news of his death after a pericardium in 1996 was very exaggerated with Mark Twain. The following year, “Time Out of Mind” was released, and whoever had not thought Dylan was an oracle has now become a believer.
The hike “Highlands”, a 16-minute divertimento for a constantly repeating guitar and organ motif, opened a late Worker plant that may be complete with “Rough and Rowdy Ways” or maybe not. Dylan (“Knarzig”) sings in “Highlands”: “I got new eyes, everything looks far away/ well my heart in the Highlands at the Break of Day/ over the hills and far away/ there’s a way to get there, and i’ll figure it out somehow/ well i’m already in my mind, and that’s good enough for Now. “
He has always been there in the spirit. That Bob Dylan gets older – what does it care that has new eyes.
