Bob Dylan's Life Robert Allen Zimmerman born May 24 1941 in Duluth, Minnesota known by the pseudonym of Bob Dylan, was an American singer, song-writer, musician and author. He is an influential figure in popular music and culture. He became a reluctant « voice of a generation » when he moved to New York in the 1961 where he wrote songs like « Blowin' in the Wind » and « The Times Are a-Changin’ ». Those songs were to become anthems for Civil Rights Movement and anti-war movement. His recording career goes on for more than fifty years and he explored many musical genres from folk, blues, country to gospel, rock and roll … He recorded 38 studio albums, starting with Bob Dylan (1968) and still records songs today. Dylan's lyrics contain political, social, philosophical and literary influences and over the years he defied pop music conventions. Dylan performs with guitar, keyboards and harmonica. He published his album on Columbia Records and Asylum Records. Since 1994, he also published seven books of drawings and paintings. As a musician, he sold more than 100 million records, making him one of the best-selling artists of all time. He received many awards including eleven Grammy Awards, a Golden Globe Award, an Academy Award and many other prizes such as an NME Award. Nowadays Dylan still receives huge recognition: in 2012 the President Barack Obama gave him the Presidential Medal of Freedom and in 2016 he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature « for having created new poetic expressions within the great American song tradition ». Bob Dylan had two spouses, Sara Dylan from 1965 to 1977 and Carolyn Dennis from 1986 to 1992..

Die bronteksten zijn de sprookjes zoals ze zijn verzameld en opge- tekend door Jakob en Wilhelm Grimm in het begin van de negentiende eeuw. In Kinder- und Hausmärchen (1812) spat het bloed tegen de wanden, ondergaat het kwaad de meest lugubere straffen en kijken we niet op een lijk meer of minder.

By: Paul Zollo Date: 1991 Transcribed from GBS #3 booklet "I've made shoes for everyone, even you, while I still go barefoot" from "I and I" By Bob Dylan Songwriting? What do I know about songwriting? Bob Dylan asked, and then broke into laughter. He was wearing blue jeans and a white tank-top T-shirt, and drinking coffee out of a glass. "It tastes better out of a glass," he said grinning. His blonde acoustic guitar was leaning on a couch near where we sat. Bob Dylan's guitar . His influence is so vast that everything that surrounds takes on enlarged significance: Bob Dylan's moccasins. Bob Dylan's coat . "And the ghost of 'lectricity howls in the bones of her face Where these visions of Johanna have now taken my place. The harmonicas play the skeleton keys and the rain And these visions of Johanna are now all that remain" from "Visions of Johanna" Pete Seeger said, "All songwriters are links in a chain," yet there are few artists in this evolutionary arc whose influence is as profound as that of Bob Dylan.

Blood on the Tracks: ‘Time Is an Enemy’
Judas! Blood on the Tracks: ‘Time is an enemy’ by John Hinchey ‘Up to Me,’ an outtake eventually released on Biograph, is a rueful ballad of love wasted that picks up the action at the conclusion of ‘Idiot Wind,’immediately after the singer realizes that he and his beloved have fallen out of each other’s orbits. But its tone seems tempered by the realizations of those songs, discussed in the preceding chapter, in which the singer assimilates a devastating romantic loss and struggles to regain speaking terms both with his lost beloved and with himself. Now, in ‘Up to Me,’ the singer he returns to tell her – and himself – what he’s going to do about it. His plan of action is paradoxical: he’s heading out on the ‘Union Central’ in search of the same missing wife he’s leaving. The song I just described is over by the end of the third verse, yet ‘Up to Me’ is twelve verses long. The song gets away from Dylan, overflowing the bounds of the paradoxical farewell note. The lyric feels unfinished, and unlike, for instance, the original version of ‘Idiot Wind’ (later released on The Bootleg Series, Vol. 1-3), it also strikes me as unfinishable, except by starting over from scratch. Indeed, ‘Shelter from the Storm’ can be seen as a radical revision (and revisioning) of ‘Up to Me.’ The problem is that the momentum of feeling that sweeps the singer from one verse to the next seems to be largely unconscious, feelings he recognizes (if at all) only after the fact.

Judas! from Inside A Prune Hello again folks and welcome to issue 7. Seasons come and seasons go, years pass, decades even; a millennium date change has even happened by and still the not-to-be- called-never-ending-tour, never ending tour rolls by. When this issue hits your door- mats Bob will be mid-European tour. We at Judas! central are off to see two shows in Sweden and participate in the Stockholm convention - and hope to see as many of you there as possible - before the UK tour starts, a set of dates made much more attractive by the later additions of Hammersmith and Brixton. Ah, what memories to be rekindled and hopefully new ones to savour too. Inside these pages we bring you another collection of articles that we trust you will enjoy. Again we have aimed for a balance between well known names and newcomers or relative newcomers. This is something we can only maintain if new writers keep coming forward. There’s a plea elsewhere in these pages for photographs, the same goes for new material. A few out there (you know who you are) have started articles, please keep at them, the more new writing blood in the Dylan fanzine world the better as far as I am concerned. Issue Eight will hopefully feature one or more of these, plus articles by established names. Manuel Vardavas’s bootleg column will be back again (presuming something worthy of discussion is released, that is) and it is quite likely we will be taking an in- depth look at SACD and bootleg DVDs from a ‘technology-and-its-impact-on-your- Dylan-entertainment’ standpoint.
