Books of Bob Dylan

Hibbing High School Library’s copy of volume 2 of: Churchill, Winston. The War Memoirs of the Rt. Hon. Winston Churchill. (Life. Vol. 24, 1948)

“We’re playing over here with a lot of pride, a lot of, a big honour to play in this country, Great Britain. When I grew up they used to tell me about the Battle of Britain, RAF, Winston Churchill, all that stuff. Now, we all know that Britain stood alone. And without any allies and that always meant a lot to me and everybody that I grew up with.” — Bob Dylan, in concert at Wembley, after a visit to the Royal Air Force Museum in Hendon, 5 October 2000. 

“Winston Churchill made a lot of paintings, mostly landscapes and cottages. Nobody compares his artistry with his diplomacy. He said that he knew of nothing else that more completely occupied the mind without exhausting the body. That’s probably a clue to why people paint.” — Bob Dylan

This is a German article on Biermann and Dylan. Joan Baez plays Dylan a Biermann-LP and Dylan makes fun of it by singing a rough translation.

Dylan, Bob. Revisionist Art: Thirty Works by Bob Dylan. Harry N Abrams, 2013. 1419709798

In Revisionist Art, Bob Dylan offers silkscreened covers of popular magazines from the last half century that somehow escaped history’s notice. As Luc Sante says in his introduction to this collection, they seem to emanate, “from a world just slightly removed from ours–a world a bit more honest about its corruption, its chronic horniness, its sweat, its body odor.” Art critic B. Clavery provides a history of Revisionist Art, from cave drawings, to Gutenberg, to Duchamp, Picasso, and Warhol. The book also features vivid commentaries on the work, (re)acquainting the reader with such colorful historical figures as the Depression-era politician Cameron Chambers, whose mustache became an icon in the gay underworld, and Gemma Burton, a San Francisco trial attorney who used all of her assets in the courtroom. According to these works, history is not quite what we think it is.

The first Paul Cable work many collectors will recall was his Dark Star article: 

Cable, Paul. Bob Dylan : “I ain’t the judge, you don’t have to be nice to me. Dark star. Vol. 2, no. 5 (October 1977)

Which led to this book:

Jerome Pintoux: this book is in the form of an alphabet. But it’s not a broken biography of Bob Dylan. Needless to refer to entries such as ” first steps “, ” great concerts “, ” great success “, you wouldn’t find them.

On the other hand, I wanted to work on the work: about albums in years of career.

This is a literary comment of Dylan’s songs and not an nth bio. These lives, others have already written them.

The whole may seem fragmented, disparate as it is an alphabet. But he has the advantage of presenting multiple facets, showing things in depth, views from the inside.

All exegesis is unlimited. Interpretations of a text, even if they contradict each other, accumulate to infinity. While any biographical project has a limited, finite side, and remains outside the subject that it treats: you see the person evolving in front of himself as a character, but the artist is often a stranger. I’ve often read rockers of rockers where no worms were quoted! I came out frustrated. I had learned, for example, that Dylan was taking speed in 65, burning his life by both ends, but I still didn’t know what ” from Buick 6
At the moment, rock criticism has often limited itself to the biographical criticism (endless tours, and of hotel rooms, what substance ingest so, what alcohol like other, their wives, their mistresses, their divorces, their detoxification cures, their Crates, their properties, their guitars… it may have his interest, but I wanted to offer something else: explore the texts.
