World Gone Wrong Bob Dylan Strange things have happened like never before My baby told me I would have to go I can't be good no more, once like I did before I can't be good, baby Honey, because the world gone wrong. Feel bad this morning, ain't got no home No use in worrying cause the world gone wrong I can't be good no more, once, like I did before I can't be good baby Honey, because the world gone wrong. I told you baby, right to your head If I didn't leave you, I would have to kill you dead I can't be good no more, once, like I did before I can't be good baby Honey, cause the world gone wrong. I tried to be lovin', and treat you kind But it seem like you never right, you got no loyal mind I can't be good no more, once, like I did before I can't be good baby Honey, cause the world's gone wrong. If you had a woman and she don't treat you kind Praise the Good Lord to get her out of your mind I can't be good no more, once, like I did before I can't be good baby Honey, because the world gone wrong.

The Cambridge Companion to Bob Dylan Kindle
THE CAMBRIDGE COMPANION TO BOB DYLAN PDF, EPUB, EBOOK Kevin J. H. Dettmar | 204 pages | 20 Apr 2009 | CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY PRESS | 9780521714945 | English | Cambridge, United Kingdom The Cambridge Companion to Bob Dylan PDF Book Was he dying? There can be no doubt that Dylan saw Another Side as marking a shift in his career. At 65, Bob Dylan becomes the oldest living artist to hit the top spot. This song still feels contemporary in its sarcasm, and all the more devastating for its brightness. The conventional wisdom of the music business in the s and s was that artists toured only to support new albums. Tambourine Man. Their touchstones are the musicians, musical styles, and values of a folkloric past, all made relevant by the sheer conviction with which they are evoked. And why should there be? Moreover, he evades history by cloaking his songs in the avowedly timeless music of blues, ballads, and gospel. But he was also living in a moment of plagiarism — accused of plagiarizing Homer, in a culture that was generally plagiarizing ancient Greece — and, at 60, in the same age group as the Dylan of Modern Times, railed against the unfair forces that cast him away. The feeling of these arrangements, however, was closer to latter- day Elvis whose death in shook Dylan badly and interrupted the writing of the Street Legal songs or even Neil Diamond whose manager, Jerry Weintraub, was working with Dylan at the time. While his musical range shows the influence of virtually every sort of American popular music, he found this material more than sufficient for his purposes.

“Sólo Soy Un Guitarrista”: Bob Dylan in the Spanish-Speaking World–– Influences, Parallels, Reception, and Translation
Oral Tradition, 22/1 (2007): 112-133 “Sólo Soy Un Guitarrista”: Bob Dylan in the Spanish-Speaking World–– Influences, Parallels, Reception, and Translation Christopher Rollason “Sólo soy un guitarrista” - Bob Dylan, Tarantula (1966) “La guitarra. como la tarántula, teje una gran estrella” - Federico García Lorca, “Las seis cuerdas,” (1931) Spanish Manners: An Introduction This paper aims to examine the relationship between Bob Dylan’s work and the cultures, literatures, and musics of the Spanish-speaking world. The relationship is bidirectional, taking in Spanish and Latin American influences and themes in Dylan’s production, as well as the influence and reception of that work in the Hispanophone universe. I further consider not only direct influences but also literary and musical parallels, and also briefly examine the translation of Dylan into Spanish. What I am offering is a case- study in intercultural relations, not an excursion into theory, and I shall not be explicitly entering into issues of ethnoliterature, ethnomusicology, cultural studies, or translation studies. I do, however, stress by way of introduction that I believe Dylan’s work is a particularly interesting case of a hybrid cultural object, the result of a fusion, not so much between a bipolarised “high” and “low” culture as between three different cultures–– intellectual culture, mass culture, and folk or traditional culture. Much in Spanish and Latin American cultures, both literary and musical, is similarly– –and fecundly––hybrid in its make-up, building bridges between

Bob Dylan: “THINGS HAVE CHANGED”- an ANALYSIS by KEES DE GRAAF This Song Firmly Stands in the Dylanesque Tradition of Song W
Bob Dylan: “THINGS HAVE CHANGED”- AN ANALYSIS BY KEES DE GRAAF This song firmly stands in the Dylanesque tradition of song writing. Some of the features of his song writing have been all along: 1. The world may come to an end at any moment now. This notion was fuelled by the teachings in the schools of the Vineyard Christian fellowship in the late seventies. All attention is focused on what is to happen on the latter day, when the thousand year rule of Christ in Jerusalem will commence immediately after His return to earth. 2. Because of this focus on the nearby thousand year rule of Christ the present world is abandoned and given up. All Christian action in this world is paralyzed by this notion. The world has gone wrong, man – and also Dylan- is a stranger in this world. He is out of range, it is no use trying, you should get out of it as soon as you can. The light in this place is bad, man walks through a lonesome valley in a strange land. In a certain way this line of thinking is Biblical. ( Cf. Hebr 11:13) Christians should indeed be strangers in this world in so far as they stay away from sin and that their hope should be fixed upon the coming kingdom of God. But there is also something very unbiblical in this way of thinking. We should not give up this world. Our renewed life should urge us not only to pray for this world but also to accepting responsibility in this world.

Rather, it was a clarifying, broadening, and deepening of his position. During the past three decades, Dylan has wo- ven his Christian perspective like a thread through his songs (both recorded originals and performed covers). His theology is based on three sources: the ancient Jewish prophetic tradition, the Jesus Movement tradition coming out of the early 1970s, and the Christian tradition in folk-country-and- blues music. Dylan’s example reminds us that en- by Jeff Taylor gagement with popular culture does not necessarily mean endorsement or emulation.

Get Ready for Bob Dylan's Set at ACL Fest with Our Dylan Primer You Might Wonder Which Bob Dylan You're Going to Hear at ACL; Here's Our Advice for Tuning In
Get ready for Bob Dylan's set at ACL Fest with our Dylan primer You might wonder which Bob Dylan you're going to hear at ACL; here's our advice for tuning in By Thomas G. Palaima SPECIAL TO THE AMERICAN-ST ATESMAN Sunday, September 02, 2007 "But me, I'm still on the road Headin' for another joint" - Bob Dylan, "Tangled Up in Blue" Bob Dylan is heading to Austin to close the ACL Festival on Sept. 16. Troubadour, blues songster, pop balladeer, old-timey minstrel, singer of gospel hymns and country and western tunes - and introduced in concerts now as "the man who forced folk into bed with rock" - Dylan and his evolving traveling band are in their 20th year of what his fans call the Never Ending Tour. If you are heading to the festival, you might wonder which Dylan you are going to hear. The straight answer is none and all of the above - and more. Forty-five years into his recording career and bearing down on 50 official albums, Dylan has mined virtually every American musical genre. His songwriting, singing and playing are always in the moment and full of experiment. Credited with writing more than 450 songs, Dylan has performed live at least that many songs by other artists. He has sung Ricky Nelson's "Lonesome Town," Gordon Lightfoot's "Early Morning Rain," the Davis Sisters' No. 1 1953 country hit "I Forgot More Than You'll Ever Know," Hank Williams' "House of Gold," Woody Guthrie's "Deportees" and the White Stripes' "Ball and Biscuit." When Warren Zevon was dying of lung cancer, Dylan on tour sang moving versions of Zevon's "Mutineer" and "Accidentally Like a Martyr." One of Dylan's birthday gifts for Willie Nelson's Big Six-O was a pathos-laden rendering of Stephen Foster's "Hard Times." No wonder that in his first major film, Dylan played a character named Alias ("Pat Garrett & Billy the Kid").

The Visual Dylan: Religious Art, Social Semiotics and Album Covers
chapter 5 The Visual Dylan: Religious Art, Social Semiotics and Album Covers Geir Winje Dosent, Fakultet for humaniora, idretts- og utdanningsvitenskap, Universitetet i Sørøst-Norge. Professor, Faculty of Humanities, Sports and Educational Science, University of South-Eastern Norway. Abstract: The essay explores the cover art on 24 studio albums released by Bob Dylan since his debut in 1962, each one with a photo of the artist on the front cover. The photos are read chronologically in accordance with a social semiotic understanding. Any text, including such elements as names, album titles, song titles and motifs, but also formal means, e.g. compositions and geometric patterns underlying the com- positions, are understood as meaningful utterances in their own right, not only as illustrations for other texts. The essay also maps out some parallels between the idol as a mediated person belonging to modernity and as a premodern religious concept. A not surprising finding is that parts of early Christian icon art are continued in modern photographic portraits. However, I have not found anything indicating that traces of early religious art are more prominent on Bob Dylan’s albums than on other albums. Keywords: Bob Dylan, album covers, album art, portraits, photo, social semiotics, religious art Sammendrag: Artikkelen undersøker omslagene på 24 studioalbum utgitt av Bob Dylan, fra debuten i 1962 til 2015. Hvert av de 24 albumene har et fotografisk portrett på forsiden av coveret. Fotografiene leses kronologisk, som en fortelling eller tegne- serie, i lys av sosialsemiotisk teori. Elementer som titler og andre verbaltekster, blikk- retning, innramming og komposisjon forstås som selvstendige tekster, ikke bare som illustrasjoner til andre tekster.

Bob Dylan's Folk Poetics in the Later Albums
Bob Dylan’s Folk Poetics in the Later Albums: Telling the Story of America in Ruins in Simple Poetic Language Matt Shedd University of Oregon, USA Abstract Bob Dylan's recent albums have returned to a more basic sense of American vernacular and poetics, employing stock phrases that evoke a rural America of the past. However, the past does not provide any shelter from modern day angst and impending devastation. We see this particularly in the 2001’s Love and Theft, coincidentally released on the day of the Twin Towers attack. By foregoing concepts of radical artistic individuality, Dylan use more traditional folk poetics to provide a historical and communal account of the descent of the United States into what Dylan calls “an empire in ruins." [Keywords: Dylan, Modernity, 9/11, Folk Poetics] Familiar though his name may be to us, the storyteller is in his immediacy by no means a living force. He is already something remote from us and something that is becoming more distant. -Walter Benjamin, “The Storyteller” (83) Bill Flannagan: You don’t use elevated language on these songs – it’s mostly every-day speech and imagery. Did you decide to keep a lid on the poetry this time out…? Bob Dylan: I’m not sure I agree. It’s not easy to define poetry. Hank Williams used simple language too.'' -Bob Dylan, Bill Flannaganinterview, 2009 I. Time out of Mind Coming from a Different Time Altogether Larry Sloman calls the songs on Bob Dylan’s 1997 Time out of Mind: “Lyrical landscapes of the past.” Sloman describes the change in Dylan’s songwriting in the liner notes to Columbia’s 2008 two-disc group of tracks from the cutting room floor, Tell Tale Signs: “What seemed to be overlooked in the analysis of [Dylan’s Time out of Mind (1997)] was that the act of retreating for solace in the ‘old songs’ of his previous two albums inspired Dylan to begin writing his own ‘archaic’ songs….Dylan was out of tune with contemporary culture” (31).
