Bob Dylan arrived in New York one winter morning in 1961. His music and spirit would go on to capture the hearts and minds of a generation, but what no one knew then was that, like so many before him, Dylan was concealing his Jewish origins.

(Mostly serious) ruminations on Bob Dylan's work

Bob Dylan. Non è nemmeno più un nome e cognome. È uno spettro, l'evidente incarnazione di qualcosa che non c'è più, che non c'è ancora. Si ama per resa, invidia, ammirazione. Si adora perché non saremo mai come lui, non riusciremo mai a lasciarci tutto alle spalle, non saremo mai così avanti rispetto ai nostri tempi. Forse è impossibile ascoltare Dylan per la prima volta, perché si aspetta di ascoltarlo per la prima volta tutta la vita.

"Blowin' in the wind", "All along the watchtower", "Knockin' on heaven's door" – seine Songs besitzen eine poetische Kraft, für die er mit dem Nobelpreis für Literatur geehrt wurde. Nun legt Bob Dylan ein Buch vor, in dem er nicht auf sein eigenes Werk zurückblickt, sondern auf mehr als 60 Songs, die ihn beeindruckt und geprägt haben. Mysteriös und magisch, präzise und profund, oft auch sehr witzig legt er die Substanz jedes Songs frei und meditiert dabei in unnachahmlich dylanesker Diktion über das menschliche Leben und den fragwürdigen Zustand unserer Welt.

Many of our assumptions about spiritual intention, sensual pleasure, and the essence of work, community, country, race, and the divine have germinated in Bob Dylan’s need to know what’s blowing in the wind.

(Mostly) serious and detailed random ruminations on the work of Bob Dylan by the author of the new book 'Determined to Stand: The Reinvention of Bob Dylan'

Across seven decades, Bob Dylan has been the first singer of American song.

Bob Dylan non si fa intervistare. Quella che dipinge il musicista come schivo, riservato, persino scontroso è in realtà una leggenda metropolitana. Certo, Bob Dylan non ha mai amato essere costretto a tenere rapporti continuativi con la stampa. Ma nel corso della sua lunga carriera ha tenuto molte conferenze, ha partecipato a programmi radiofonici e televisivi, chiacchierato con giornalisti e scrittori, rilasciato interviste mirate. Spesso ha risposto in modo evasivo o sibillino a domande banali e di poco conto, però quando gli si rivolgevano domande intelligenti offriva risposte rivelatrici sulla sua musica e sulla sua vita privata.
