  • 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.

Acknowledgements The completion of this thesis was very much a collaborative effort, and I owe a debt of gratitude to a number of people who helped me along the way. First and foremost, I am very grateful for the attention, critique and encouragement I have received over the year from my supervisor Prof. dr. Ben Wubs, it has helped me greatly. I would also like to thank Dr. Jeroen Euwe who co-supervised our Research Workshop and provided me with much guidance throughout the year. I am very grateful to have had the opportunity to interview Vawn Corrigan (Author of Irish Aran, History, Tradition, Fashion) while researching for this thesis, which, aside from being an absolute pleasure, added an extra layer of valuable analysis to the discussion. I am also very lucky to have been a part of a wonderful class of friends in the GLOCAL programme, and wish them all the best going forward. Last but not least I would like to thank my family back home in Ireland, in particular my parents who have supported me in more ways than one throughout this Master’s experience.

And being brought up in a pub, she associated these songs with drink and madmen and fighting. This collection of 64 Irish songs is designed both for singing as a group or performing for an audience. It was like walking into an explosion. I had about four chords on the guitar then, and Tommy Makem still couldn't play the tin whistle because his hand wasn't fully healed, but Pat could play the harmonica. Pat, eldest of the family and businessman of the group, is the founder of the very successful Tradition Records. A brave little band of poets and socialists stormed the General Post Office in Dublin on Easter Monday, , and though they failed, before the year was out the first large hole had been blown through the ramparts of the British Empire. Sometimes, bass players don't play the root note of the chord Or as Liam puts it: "The Ballad Revival means, in its baldest form, that it became respectable again for so-called respectable people to sing working-class songs.

His memories of childhood include bounding over hills, streams, and the occasional mountain, getting lost, and eventually found, and making mischief in the way of a typical Irish boy. As an aimless nineteen-year-old, Clancy met a strange and wonderfully energetic lover of music, Ms. Diane Guggenheim, an American heiress. She and a colleague from America had set out to record regional Irish folk music, and their undertaking led them to Carrick-on-Suir in the shadow of Slievenamon, "The Mountain of the Women," where Mammie Clancy had been known to carry a tune or two in her kitchen. Guggenheim fell for young Liam and swept him along on her travels through the British Isles, the American Appalachians, and finally Greenwich Village, the undisputed Mecca for aspiring artists of every ilk in the late s. Clancy was in New York to become an actor. But on the side, he played and sang with his brothers, Paddy and Tom, and fellow countryman Tommy Makem, in pubs like the legendary White Horse Tavern.

  • From Inside a Prune
    Judas! from Inside A Prune Hello and a warm welcome to our last issue of 2005. We are putting this issue together amidst a feast of Dylan material that is reaching staggering proportions. It is impossible to turn anywhere at the moment without running into the man so many of us have spent so much of our lives searching for recordings of and information about. To be honest, it is all a bit overwhelming. Just think, recent official releases include: Bob Dylan: Live at The Gaslight 1962 The Bootleg Series Vol. 7 No Direction Home broadcast and DVD The Live at Carnegie Hall bonus disc The Bob Dylan Scrapbook 1956-1966 Chronicles in paperback The BBC unearthing a good quality ‘Ballad of the Gliding Swan’ That’s without mentioning the bootleg release of the Dont Look Back outtakes. Then there has been the saturation coverage in newspapers and magazines and still Dylan books continue to come out and there are/have been the photographic exhibitions in Birmingham and Camden. Can you take any more? Much as I am enjoying it all, and without meaning to sound ungrateful, I do have some misgivings. The first I voiced last time around, the concen- tration on the pre-1967 story, but also – isn’t it all a bit easy? Finding rare Dylan is supposed to be hard! More seriously, on some days when faced with paper after paper full of Bob there is a harbinger of that dread day when he is no more. I am sorry to bring that up but it was a strong, creepy feeling I had some mornings, and I was wondering if I was alone in this or if any of you felt the same.
