Bob Dylan Throws a Wrench Into ‘Desolation Row’ (Vulture) [3]
"Toward the end of his set in Darien Center, New York, on Tuesday, Dylan broke out 1965’s “Desolation Row” for the first time since 2019, with the help of … a miniature wrench."

Best Links This Week
Our favorite stories and links from the past week.
How Bob Dylan Reassembled Himself (GQ) [10]
"They couldn’t have known it at the time but they were on the vanguard of a new way of doing things, a different kind of concert experience. Huge crowds, outdoor stadiums, heady ticket prices, sound systems up to, or maybe not up to, handling all of the attendant sonic requirements and complications."
A Show-By-Show Listening Guide to Dylan's Massive '1974 Live Recordings' Box (Flagging Down) [10]
"I’ve put together a disc-by-disc, show-by-show guide to the whole thing. What shows are the best, where you should you start, what’s missing, best performances of key songs, etc."
How Bob Dylan Viciously Cut His Competition Down to Size (The Daily Beast) [8]
"In the fall of 1965, Dylan him-self would unveil “Positively 4th Street,” a stern single that sliced and diced someone—or some group—who hadn’t supported him. He never specified who, but some in the Kettle posse wondered if it were one of them."
Bob Dylan with Bob Fass Sometime After Midnight (Peter Stone Brown) [8]
"I woke up an hour or two later and, in the first few seconds of consciousness, realized that Bob Dylan was on the air, in the studio, and taking phone calls."
False Prophet Pt.9 (Untold Dylan) [5]
"However, the most remarkable similarity between the two lyrics concerns the dualistic nature of the protagonist. Like the narrator in “Ain’t Talkin’”, the not-false prophet chafes at paranoid schizophrenia, judging by the mixed signals he gives off. "
