The Bob Cats Newsletter April 30, 2021 THE BOB CATS NEWSLETTER APRIL 30, 2021. CELEBRATING THE ART AND THE MANY LIVES OF BOB DYLAN • NOBEL PRIZE LAUREATE SONG & DANCE MAN. INSPIRED BY THEME TIME RADIO HOUR AND THE SPIRIT IN WHICH IT WAS MADE. ESTABLISHED 2006 BY PETER HOLST • 14 YEARS AND RUNNING. HTTPS://THEBOBCATSNEWSLETTER.WORDPRESS.COM Welcome to the Walpurgis edition of the Bob Cats Newsletter. It's night time in the big city, there’s a fire on Main Street, people from all around in perfect lines throwing things of different shapes and forms into the flames; kitchen chairs, boards’n planks, rolls of rosy wallpaper, a hall clock, a rosebud- engraved sled, a shoe box of tear-stained wrinkled love letters from Paris signed Lily, vintage skis and yesterday’s papers, boxes of nylon stockings crackle and sizzle. On the truck bed of a lorry parked on the empty lot beside The Black Swan a tiny group of thin punk-heads bellows and bawls evergreens made famous by Frank Sinatra below a painted sheet saying Zebediah & The Blackbirds. A streetcar named Willibald Mountain comes to a complete stand still outside The Saint James Hotel. The cracked actor descends after a spell at the Camarillo. A second hand 1958 suit hangs loose on his once embonpoint and rotund frame, an alto saxophone-case in his left hand, which he puts down on the cobble stone lighting a Montecristo as the night nurse wrestles down her grandfather who’s shooting holes in the fire with a Zabala shotgun shouting Marlene come home! In the distance a fire brigade’s approaching as the sirens, punks and alto saxophone lines celebrates spring and the life it brings. ••• ALL ALONG THE WATCHTOWER THE BOB CATS NEWSLETTER KEPT THE VIEW. ••• NEWS FLASH & RUMORS THE CAMBRIDGE BOB DYLAN SOCIETY • THURSDAY MAY 6, 2021, 7.30 PM [LONDON TIME] -

    lyrikkstafetten En lyrisk stafett I denne lyriske stafetten vil vi at kolleger skal dele stemninger, tanker og assosiasjoner rundt et dikt som har betydd noe for dem, enten i arbeidet eller i livet ellers. Den som skriver får i oppdrag å utfordre en etterfølger. Slik kan mange kolleger få anledning til å ytre seg i lyrikkspalten. Velkommen og lykke til!

  • Señor (Tales of Yankee Power)”: a Window Into Bob Dylan’S Existential and Religious World
    chapter 1 “Señor (Tales of Yankee Power)”: A Window into Bob Dylan’s Existential and Religious World Reidar Aasgaard Professor, idéhistorie, IFIKK, Universitetet i Oslo Professor of History of Ideas, IFIKK, University of Oslo Abstract: “Señor (Tales of Yankee Power)” is a central song on Street-Legal, the album Bob Dylan released in 1978, a short time before his Christian conversion experience and the so-called Christian album trilogy of 1979–1981. Within the set- ting of a journey through a half-real, half-mythical landscape, the song describes an encounter between an I-figure, the singer, and his travel companion, a mysterious, silent “señor”, with the singer going through a process of growing frustration lead- ing to a state of existential despair. The article gives a close, narrative reading of the lyrics and analyzes the song within the contexts of the album, of the development of Dylan’s religious language, of his performances of the song from 1978 to 2011, and of his own comments on it. The main conclusion is that “Señor” can be read in different ways, but that religion, and Christianity in particular, plays an important and integral part in the various readings. The song reflects Dylan’s artistic and per- sonal situation at the time, also by foreshadowing his conversion experience, but at the same time belongs within a long trajectory of Dylan songs from the 1960s until today which deal with fundamental human themes related to history, society, social relations, religion, and life in general. Keywords: Bob Dylan, Christianity, Bible, literary analysis, contextual analysis Samandrag: «Señor (Tales of Yankee Power)» er ein sentral song på Street-Legal, albumet Bob Dylan gav ut i 1978, kort tid før sitt kristne gjennombrot og den såkalla kristne albumtrilogien frå 1979–81.

    Kierke gaard, Literature, and the Arts Engraving, ca. 1837, by Carl Strahlheim showing the Gendarmenmarkt in Berlin, with what was then the Schauspielhaus, or Theater (center)— now the concert house of the Konzerthausorchester Berlin— flanked by the German Cathedral (left) and the French Cathedral (right). Pictured in the background to the immediate right of the theater is the building, still standing today, in which Kierkegaard lodged during his four stays in Berlin, in 1841– 42, 1843, 1845, and 1846. It was there, as noted by a plaque outside, that Kierkegaard wrote the first drafts of Either/Or, Repetition, and Fear and Trembling.

  • Bob Dylan and Religion
    ANDREAS HÄGER Bob Dylan and Religion his article is a discussion of the relations of one particular rock artist, Bob TDylan, to religion. Bob Dylan is one of the most influential artists of the rock era. After a career spanning almost fifty years and over forty albums, he still continuously tours around the world. He has been the subject of many biographies and studies. Religion can be seen as a recurring topic in Dylan’s work—particularly during a period at the end of the 1970s and beginning of the 1980s, often referred to as his ‘Christian era’—and also in the discourses around him. This article explores how the topic of religion appears in dis- courses around Bob Dylan.1 This article is located within the field of research on religion and popular culture, which has emerged as a small subfield within religious studies during the last decade or so (e.g. Forbes & Mahan 2000; Mazur & McCarthy 2001). The perspective in the field is here a sociological one, where the connection between religion and popular culture is seen as an example of how religion relates to contemporary society. Popular culture is an important part of con- temporary society and one to which religion also relates; popular culture is an area where religion appears today. Here I want to look at one particular aspect of the connection between religion and popular culture: the construction of certain artists or stars as re- ligious figures, and more specifically I will talk about one artist, Bob Dylan, as a case.
