Introduction “Anyone who is one of the best in his field – as Dylan is – is bound to influence people.” – John Lennon1 No other band in the history of popular music has had such a lasting influence on pop and rock music as the Beatles. By opening up a wide scope of possibilities as true innovators in musical style, they paved the way for countless musicians and bands that followed. The Beatles musical and cultural influence extends into the 21st century and their iconic music fascinates people even today. However, when it comes to their music, the Beatles themselves drew inspiration from a number of sources, many of which can be ascribed to the influences of other musicians and bands. One of these influences was the exceptional artist, Bob Dylan. The main aim of this thesis is to evaluate Dylan’s impact on the Beatles’ music and development as musicians by investigating their work. Based on information gathered in secondary literature, and by analyzing the Beatles’ music and lyrics, the thesis will try to determine to what extent and in which manner Dylan affected them. In the first part of this thesis, a short list of important terms regarding song structure and song forms is given, in order to provide the reader with the necessary knowledge of song analysis. After that, the thesis continues by giving an overview of the Beatles formation and rise, followed by an outline of the band’s musical and lyrical development over the years. Aside from the Beatles, Bob Dylan is among the most talented musicians that have ever appeared on the Rock scene. Over the years, Dylan has covered various different genres, including folk, blues, pop and rock, never letting himself be defined by one particular genre. However, only Dylan’s early years as a musician are of interest with respect to his impact on the Beatles. At the beginning of his career, Dylan was greatly influenced by the protest music movement of the 1960s folk revival. Therefore, this thesis contains a detailed description of the backgrounds of the American folk revival, including the musical influences that most 1 Quoted in: Turner, Steve (1994).

Haunted, driving north, I watched the horizon gray over Oklahoma, the rim of fires drifting down from Manitoba. I stepped out hours later to the first cold of September, a season’s end. The magnolias were already old those last evenings, reflected in the watery light of summer rain. The air was dark with words. But this spring, a hymn heard through a distant window brought back the years before: The places where crepe myrtle blooms early and late, where old bells echo from a green Handel and Mendelssohn and all the music of Passover, where almost every lamppost has a name and shadows cross our days without erasing joy.

  • Selected Chronology of Political Protests and Events in Lawrence
    SELECTED CHRONOLOGY OF POLITICAL PROTESTS AND EVENTS IN LAWRENCE 1960-1973 By Clark H. Coan January 1, 2001 LAV1tRE ~\JCE~ ~')lJ~3lj(~ ~~JGR§~~Frlt 707 Vf~ f·1~J1()NT .STFie~:T LA1JVi~f:NCE! i(At.. lSAG GG044 INTRODUCTION Civil Rights & Black Power Movements. Lawrence, the Free State or anti-slavery capital of Kansas during Bleeding Kansas, was dubbed the "Cradle of Liberty" by Abraham Lincoln. Partly due to this reputation, a vibrant Black community developed in the town in the years following the Civil War. White Lawrencians were fairly tolerant of Black people during this period, though three Black men were lynched from the Kaw River Bridge in 1882 during an economic depression in Lawrence. When the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in 1894 that "separate but equal" was constitutional, racial attitudes hardened. Gradually Jim Crow segregation was instituted in the former bastion of freedom with many facilities becoming segregated around the time Black Poet Laureate Langston Hughes lived in the dty-asa child. Then in the 1920s a Ku Klux Klan rally with a burning cross was attended by 2,000 hooded participants near Centennial Park. Racial discrimination subsequently became rampant and segregation solidified. Change was in the air after World "vV ar II. The Lawrence League for the Practice of Democracy (LLPD) formed in 1945 and was in the vanguard of Post-war efforts to end racial segregation and discrimination. This was a bi-racial group composed of many KU faculty and Lawrence residents. A chapter of Congress on Racial Equality (CORE) formed in Lawrence in 1947 and on April 15 of the following year, 25 members held a sit-in at Brick's Cafe to force it to serve everyone equally.
