This was so good. "Dylan goes deeper then politics". Well said and so true. It is his lyrics that I have been listening to since the sixties. More importantly it is what his lyrics are about, what are the themes of his songs. Freedom, justice,racism, war, love, hate, survival, independence, birth, death, etc. He can say something more meaningful in one sentence then most can in a whole song if at all. In the opening of "Desolation Row" as an example, "Their selling postcards of the hanging." This line is about a time when there would be a lynching that was going to take place and they sent out postcards letting people know and many of those people did go to the lynching and made a day of it. Dylan describes that horrific barberism in one sentence in the opening of a song. He is also very well read. His speech upon accepting his Nobel prize for literature reflected that. I'll just finish with this. When I was quite young and listened to him alot, the first time I started focusing on his lyics instead of just passively listening, I was never the same again. You have to focus your mind to truly appreciate Dylan. I love the man and I worship his talent. All of what you've said about him is true.

Great comment, Pamela! You hit on yet another reason I love Dylan when you wrote "you have to focus your mind to truly appreciate Dylan". Many people scoff at such a notion, but they simply don't know what we're talking about here, or they are not intellectually curious enough to put in the effort. So be it. But yes, I love the challenge his lyrics pose, the mind focus needed. It is what draws me to certain literary, cinematic, and musical art. Great comment.....thanks again. Jeff

I found this channel a few days ago and have been really enjoying the album reviews. My favourite Dylan studio output is from the first half of the 1980s, while his live performances in the 1993-1995 period are (I think) unsurpassed. The changing of his songs in live performance means a listener can never really run out of Dylan work. Songs you've heard dozens of times before can be heard for real for the first time on a concert tape. It Takes A Lot To Laugh, It Takes A Train To Cry was, I once thought, just a filler on the album. I bought a tape from some 1997 show someplace in England and really heard the depth of the song for the first time.

Hi Paul. Thanks for your great comment and kind words. So true about how Dylan can render any of his songs into something very special in live settings. For example, some of the otherwise excellent songs from Empire Burlesque that I thought were horribly produced on the album, like Seeing The Real You At Last, are superb when done live. Thanks again for taking the time to comment. Cheers! Jeff

To me, Dylan's #1 outstanding trait (reason to love), is his courage. He is fearless in what subject matter he'll attempt. What key. What musical time. What instruments get used. He doesn't seem to care if the songs are in fashion at the moment or not. He doesn't care if the listener can't make heads or tails out of the lyrics, not his problem. And he will make lyrics fit into stanzas that you just wouldn't think they could. Radio stations won't play a song over 2:45....Well, let's make em play a 6 minute song then..Courage. He also had, as a kid, the courage to essentially invent this "Dylan" character, roll it out and keep with it.

Very good. I would say much the same. You sure got it right when you said that "politics is a religion". That's exactly what it is for most people, just blind unquestioning faith in a political narrative and partisan brand that they've bought for whatever reason...and gross prejudice against whatever and whoever they think doesn't fit in with that narrative...but Dylan goes way beyond politics, and he always has, although political movements tried hard to make him their poster boy. The two things that are most powerful about Bob for me are: His amazing lyrical gifts...and his phenomenal and always *alive* vocal delivery OF those lyrics. He's not sleepwalking. And the other thing is what you mentioned as your number 12...his deep foundation in a kind of spiritual faith that stands in the face of everything life can throw at a person. This is not an easy place here, not for anyone, and you need a lot of faith in something eternal and valuable and true to face it and keep believing it's worth it...and not just fall asleep or grow cynical or get drunk and hide from it to escape the pain. Bob remains true to his spiritual core and his cultural-musical roots and that sustains the power in his words and music. They become timeless. And that is rare.

Hi Trudy. Yes, his dynamic performance style seems, to me, to reflect the way he thinks about the lyrics at the time he sings them. I'm sure a song he wrote when he was 25 might have somewhat different emphases or poignancies when he sings the same song at age 75, for example. I agree. But I will say that I love to read his lyrics from the page, like reading poetry.....in fact, I get a lot from them by doing so. That is one of the reasons I do consider him to be a POET and not merely a songwriter who writes poetic lyrics.

Good topic Jeff! I got into Dylan when I was 13 because of some of the reasons you mentioned. Besides the brilliant lyrics, I loved the fact that you just never knew what you were gonna get from him musically. His live shows are so unpredictable. You may get Rainy Day Women in 3/4 if the mood takes him. Or a rock out version of Visions of Johanna. A Hard Rain’s A Gonna Fall is a classic from a classic album, but his 1994 version from The Great Music Experience with a full orchestra will always be THE version for me. Have you heard it? It’s not for everyone, but I love it. That’s the amazing thing about him - he’s got a little something for all us fans. You’re right about his politics, too - or lack of. I remember reading an interview where he states that he can see right and wrong on both sides of the political spectrum.

Some great reasons there, but I'll only touch on #3. I read that someone asked Woody Guthrie what he thought of Bob Dylan's singing compared to some of the great singers he heard around town. Woody said Pete Seger was a singer of folk songs but Dylan was a folk singer. That crystalized why I wanted to listen to BD repeatedly but not so much the others. On the All Things Must Pass set, back in the 70s I wore out the first two discs but after listening to the "jam" disc I knew not to bother buying an updated version with more material not included in the original.....

I can truthfully say that I agree with all the reasons you gave! Especially about his performances. Touring all the time AND he keeps his setlists varied! To me that really screams "respect" for the fans. And the value for money he gives with his bootleg series, that shows his respect as well. Same with keeping all his material available, and being passionate about all his songs. Your last points are true as well! Dylan has always had that "faith" element in his music, since the very beginning. He's one of those artists who just spat in the face of the darkness. And you're damn right he's not political! Not in the traditional sense anyway. Those early protest albums were left wing, but then you had the gospel trilogy which expressed some very conservative viewpoints, not to mention Union Sundown! He doesn't just bombard you with his own views like Neil Young or Jello Biafra, he makes you think, and sometimes he gets you to really question and consider your own views.

Hi Nick. Yes Dylan definitely seems more interested in actual fans rather than merely the casual audience member (who will likely leave the show early and bitch about how bad it was to everyone.....I've run into dozens of these idiots over the years). As for the early albums, yes I think he was giving the protesty-people something to like at times, but he always included in even those songs a much deeper thoughtfulness than what is found in most protesty songs. And he even was saying goodbye to those folks as early as the final track of Times They Are A-Changin', and most definitely on Another Side. Basically, he turned his back on all that stuff almost as soon as he dipped his toes into it. Not hardly worth commenting on, yet countless whole books have been written about it. Haha!

Hey. I agree with all of your great points. Another reason I would say is that he doesn't reduce himself to the standards of a contemporary celebrity. When he appeared on The Tonight Show, for instance, he never said a word. That, first of all, adds to the mystery you were talking about that helps each individual create their own Dylan (or be lost about who he is which is even better), but it also demonstrates his reluctance to be diminished by those unintelligent questions that are constantly asked on those shows.

Hey Jeff: Also worth a look: The Aesthetics of Music , by Roger Scruton. I agree with your points about politics. It's gone beyond that. In taking over America in 2020, Global Marxist criminals replaced virtues with values.

I must say I was surprised to hear you saying Dylan is not political. It made me curious about your reasoning behind this statement. I think all themes are political with a certain point of view. Songs about dancing and having fun may be considered an escapism which serves the rulling political forces by distracting people minds from the more important stuff, and let alone when someone sings about war or racism - these are totaly political questions. But I definitely see your point as Dylan not being too specific about who he votes for. For me, the question of war or racism is (or rather should be) deeper than politics as something fundamental and obvious, but sadly, still there are real political forces in action, who promote this kind of thinking and actions. So talking about these topics is against those forces, and therefore is a political statement on some level. I'm not trying to argue, just sharing some loose thoughts with you :) Anyway, realy cool idea for the new theme! I enjoyed this one and would gladly see more :)
