pick#Falling Day 22: This #CountrySong by Bob Dylan was illuminated by Caldecott medalist Jon J Muth of the Zen shorts (panda series) fame. The result is exquisite. My review here: https://wp.me/pDlzr-dh6
pickA very thorough piece of work. Detailing the folk movement in general. Folk music was never really my genre. I‘ve always appreciated the depth of Dylan‘s lyrics. And love the movie “A Complete Unknown”. When Dylan went electric it was a pivotal moment in rock history. After this rock was no longer just about sex and cars, but could deal with deeper issues.

"The festival was over, the boys were all plannin' for a fall
The cabaret was quiet except for the drillin' in the wall
The curfew had been lifted and the gamblin' wheel shut down
Anyone with any sense had already left town
He was standin' in the doorway lookin' like the Jack of Hearts" ?♥️?
so-soIt took me a long time to commit to this. It‘s a beautifully designed book, and I love, love, love Dylan, but this wasn‘t what I expected. Perhaps if it were titled “Bob Dylan‘s Playlist” it would have been less underwhelming.
His pieces about the Grateful Dead‘s “Truckin‘” or Webb Pierce‘s “There Stands the Glass,” are examples of what could have made this great. Unfortunately the bulk of it are rambling synopses that offer little “philosophy.”
Did anyone check their #AudibleStats? Will be posting some more highlights for me…
Such a Dylan thing to say: “no matter how many chairs you have, you only have one ass.” 😅
