Bob Dylan and TI Songs

Bob Dylan, poet laureate, prophet in a motorcycle jacket. Mysterious vagrant. Napoleon in rags. A Jew. A Christian. A million contradictions. A complete unknown, like a rolling stone. He has analyzed, classified, categorized, was crucified, defined, dissected, identified, tested and rejected, but never discovered.

He blew into mythology in 1961 with TI Songs a guitar, harmonica, and corduroy cap, a cross between Woody Guthrie and Little Richard. It was like the first punk-folk singer. He led the protest to rock song. He was more important than the melody, the rhythm much more important. His voice hoarse and nasal and sexy phrases are unique. He can surreal songs with a logic all their own writing - as a painting or a poem by James Rosenquist Rimbaud's prose - and simple, straight-from-heart ballads with  Lady Gaga Songs equal ease. He may in the dark of the night and paint the daytime black.

He would probably bigget sex symbol when Elvis was when he was elected. Then it was Mick Jagger. The Stones, the Beatles, Jim Morrison, Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, all paid leave justice. The radical Weathermen named after him. It caused a riot at the 1965 Newport Folk Festival when he went onstage and played electric rock. The Folk Group thought that the sell-out TI Songs . Later, during the height of the "flower power" to enter in all the Eastern religions, Dylan went to Jerusalem, the Wailing Wall wearing a kippa. A decade later, was born born-again Christian, it seemed, putting out records of the Gospel. The man discovered that does not really know where he is.

It's not like Dylan is suddenly less political and more spiritual. Biblical references in his songs have always been. People are a visionary for years. Who knows? Suppose that a spiritual revolution going on and rock 'n' is just a prelude to something else. Who would have TI Songs  a prophet better than Dylan?

Sometimes what looks great from afar, up close is never billboard top 100 so great. Dylan is one of his lines. He lives very simply, in a beautiful house on isolated property on the California coast, with a group of chickens, horses and dogs. The fact that it is more visible now and do normal things, like the Grammys, videos, even this interview does not make it less mysterious. He added.

You Want to Talk to Me,

Go Ahead and Talk

A lot of people from the press wants to talk to me, but they never do, and for some reason there is this great mystery, if that is what it is. You put it on me. He sold newspapers, I think. News is a business. It really has nothing to do with me personally, I do not keep up. When I think of mystery, I do not think of me. I believe that the universe, because as the moon rises, when the sun goes down?Caterpillars turn to butterflies?
