SEARCH: PAUL CLAYTON – PRODUCTION SCRIPT 1 ACT I Lights slowly rise. We hear resounding, building applause and shouts of “MORE,” and “ENCORE.” CS we see an elevated rock and roll bandstand, instruments waiting for the band to return. A media screen hangs above with a projection illuminated: PROJECTION - THE BANNER: ROLLING THUNDER REVUE It’s 1976. Applause explodes as BOB DYLAN comes back on stage for his encore. He waves for quiet, then addresses the audience. BOB Thank you. Like to dedicate this to… Paul Clayton. Wherever you are. He wrote this, “Gotta Travel On”… A… one… two… The bandstand lights go black. A spotlight appears DSR. We see PAUL CLAYTON, a 60s-style folk troubadour with a guitar strapped on his back; late 30s, thin moustache, musician-scholar look. With aplomb, he stops BOB’s music before it starts and addresses the audience. PAUL FACT: In 1976 Bob Dylan dedicated the encore of his Rolling Thunder Revue to Paul Clayton. Assumption: 99.9% of the audience had no idea who Clayton was and that continues to this day. Tonight you are going to find out.

PAUL C’mon. This is a musical not a documentary. As solid as something you read on a crowd-sourced, internet encyclopedia. And besides, you know I don’t kiss and tell.

  • Bob Dylan and the Reimagining of Woody Guthrie (January 1968)

    Bob Dylan and the Reimagining of Woody Guthrie (January 1968)

    Woody Guthrie Annual, 4 (2018): Carney, “With Electric Breath” “With Electric Breath”: Bob Dylan and the Reimagining of Woody Guthrie (January 1968) Court Carney In 1956, police in New Jersey apprehended Woody Guthrie on the presumption of vagrancy. Then in his mid-40s, Guthrie would spend the next (and last) eleven years of his life in various hospitals: Greystone Park in New Jersey, Brooklyn State Hospital, and, finally, the Creedmoor Psychiatric Center, where he died. Woody suffered since the late 1940s when the symptoms of Huntington’s disease first appeared—symptoms that were often confused with alcoholism or mental instability. As Guthrie disappeared from public view in the late 1950s, 1,300 miles away, Bob Dylan was in Hibbing, Minnesota, learning to play doo-wop and Little Richard covers. 1 Young Dylan was about to have his career path illuminated after attending one of Buddy Holly’s final shows. By the time Dylan reached New York in 1961, heavily under the influence of Woody’s music, Guthrie had been hospitalized for almost five years and with his motor skills greatly deteriorated. This meeting between the still stylistically unformed Dylan and Woody—far removed from his 1940s heyday—had the makings of myth, regardless of the blurred details. Whatever transpired between them, the pilgrimage to Woody transfixed Dylan, and the young Minnesotan would go on to model his early career on the elder songwriter’s legacy. More than any other of Woody’s acolytes, Dylan grasped the totality of Guthrie’s vision. Beyond mimicry (and Dylan carefully emulated Woody’s accent, mannerisms, and poses), Dylan almost preternaturally understood the larger implication of Guthrie in ways that eluded other singers and writers at the time.2 As his career took off, however, Dylan began to slough off the more obvious Guthrieisms as he moved towards his electric-charged poetry of 1965-1966.

    Snow Over Interstate 80, Un Immaginario Album Di Canzoni Natalizie Registrato Da Bob Dylan a Metà Degli Anni '60

    Nel 1975 il New Musical Express pubblicò, per ridere coi propri lettori, la finta recensione di Snow Over Interstate 80, un immaginario album di canzoni natalizie registrato da Bob Dylan a metà degli anni '60. Snow Over Interstate 80 Picture of the spoof 1975 The eventual 2009 'Twas The Night Before album cover from Wim album cover Christmas - 7" single B- van der Mark side [Home] [ Up ] The following spoof article appeared in the UK music magazine "New Musical Express" in 1975. I've included it here not only because it's pretty funny but also because the original list of unreleased Dylan songs that started this project off included three "mystery" names: FREEWHEELIN', NIGHTINGALE'S CODE and WOODSTOCK YULE. Somewhere along the line the fact that these were spoof titles had been lost, so I wanted to set the record straight. Remember, the article below is a hoax! Bob of course released a genuine Christmas album, Christmas In The Heart, in 2009. Alan Fraser DYLAN - the missing Christmas album At last, definite evidence has come to light that confirms that, in the autumn of 1965, Bob Dylan did record a Christmas Album. The existence of the Dylan Christmas Album has always been hotly denied by Dylan himself, his management, and his record company. Even the most determined bootleggers and Dylanologists have been unable to obtain extant copies of the record, the master tapes of which were allegedly destroyed when the project was suddenly nixed by Dylan himself at the eleventh hour. Now, "Thrills" has obtained a copy, rumoured to be one of only seven copies in the world, the other copies being in the possession of Dylan himself, his then manager Albert Grossman, ex-CBS president Clive Davis and an anonymous French collector said to have paid $100,000 for it in 1966.

    To Elektra EKL-264 Mono / EKS-7264 Stereo "The BLUES Project"

    DAVE RAY: Dave "Snaker" Ray, whose ambition is to be a doctor, started playing guitar while a sophomore in high school. He origin ally began with blues (Leadbelly) to keep his fingers nimble fo r what he thought would be a classical-flamenco guitarist career. "After an adagio by Sor and a hacked-up Farruca, I began playing Led­ better's stuff exclusively, " Dave reports. He began playing the 12-string guitar when a senior in high school, and lists as early influences, Elvis' Sun label recordings, Bo Diddley, Muddy Waters, early Chicago, and, of course, Leadbelly. " I sing the blues because it's a medium not as demanding as literatu re or serious music, and free enough to permit a total statement of personality and. self, " Dave states. "I play blues because 1 feel it's important to me to express myself and because I feel it's a significant form of music which hasn't had enough dispersement. As far as white men playing blues, that's all who do play blues. the new Negroes are too busy (doing other things). " Discography: Blues, Rags and Hollers (Elektra EKL 240). Dave Ray may soon be heard, with John Koerner and Tony Glover, on Elektra EKL 267. ERIC VON SCHMIDT: E ric w rites: "B orn 1931; began singing in 1948; first influences were Leadbelly, Josh White and Jelly Roll Morton — then Library of Congress material and field recordings. Worked as magazine illustrator, then painter until 1952... two years in the army, and then to Florida, where I worked as a frame-maker and built a 27-foot ketch which was almost called the 'John Hurt'.

    Matrices of 'Love and Theft': Joan Baez Imitates Bob Dylan

This is an Open Access article, distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution licence (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/), which permits unrestricted re-use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. doi: 10.1017/S1478572221000013 Matrices of ‘Love and Theft’: Joan Baez Imitates Bob Dylan MIMI HADDON Abstract This article uses Joan Baez’s impersonations of Bob Dylan from the mid-1960s to the beginning of the twenty-first century as performances where multiple fields of complementary discourse con- verge. The article is organized in three parts. The first part addresses the musical details of Baez’s acts of mimicry and their uncanny ability to summon Dylan’s predecessors. The second con- siders mimicry in the context of identity, specifically race and asymmetrical power relations in the history of American popular music. The third and final section analyses her imitations in the context of gender and reproductive labour, focusing on the way various media have shaped her persona and her relationship to Dylan. The article engages critical theoretical work informed by psychoanalysis, post-colonial theory, and Marxist feminism. Introduction: ‘Two grand, Johnny’ Women are forced to work for capital through the individuals they ‘love’. Women’s love is in the end the confirmation of both men’s and their own negation as individ- uals. Nowadays, the only possible way of reproducing oneself or others, as individuals and not as commodities, is to dam this stream of capitalist ‘love’–a ‘love’ which masks the macabre face of exploitation – and transform relationships between men and women, destroying men’s mediatory role as the representatives of state and capital in relation to women.1 I want to start this article with two different scenes from two separate Bob Dylan films.

Newport Direction HomeJohn Cohen of the New Lost City Ramblerswho is Pete Seeger brother-in-law, states that Seeger wanted to Dylan the volume of the band because the noise was upsetting his elderly father Charleswho wore a hearing aid. Dylan has gone through so many changes that they could and have filled dozens of books--most recently an album of songs popularized by Frank Sinatra. It was just breath-taking. While there are still probably contradictory memories of what happened the night Bob Dylan fronted the Paul Butterfield Blues Band and played Stratocaster, I think Elijah Wald has investigated and answered the meaningful Seeger. As a pioneer of what Dave Van Ronk dubbed the neo-ethnic movement, he was the Dylan northern urbanite to master southern rural instrumental techniques and fought to bring traditional artists to the center of the folk revival. There were portions that read like a shopping list, not moving passages to incite passion or pull me into the history. More Details Jun 05, Adam Carrico rated it it was amazing.

See details for additional and the Night That Split the Sixties 1st edition. That brief set at Newport became a stand-in for much wider rifts--it marked a divide between the early sixties of the civil rights movement, civil defense drills, the old left, and folk music and the sixties most of us remember: Vietnam, Black power, hippies, the New Left, and rock.

Description: The New Criticism in literary studies propounded that it is the text alone which needs to be explored by the critic— biography, history, geography, anything outside of the text is irrelevant to criticism. While we will do quite a bit of close reading of Dylan’s songs (poems) this will not be a course fueled by the New Criticism. Dylan is emblematic of his times, of the folk tradition, of the era of rock music, of the legions of singer-songwriters who followed. He is influential to scores of artists, and was influenced by scores of artists. We will take much of this into consideration as we explore Bob Dylan, the artist, Bob Dylan, the Mythic Figure of American culture. Bob Dylan the musician. Texts: Dylan, Bob. Chronicles, Volume One.
