News This Week
Our favorite stories and links from the past two weeks.
Happy Traum, Greenwich Village Folksinger and Bob Dylan Collaborator, Dead at 86 (Rolling Stone) [8]
"Long before Dylan arrived in New York City in January 1961, Traum was enmeshed in the Village scene in the Fifties and Sixties, studying guitar with blues legend Brownie McGhee and participating in the fabled Sunday afternoon jam sessions at Washington Square Park."
Nicolas Cage's Terrifying Look In Longlegs Was Inspired By A Music Legend (SlashFilm) [5]
"The pale makeup is Bob Dylan. Bob Dylan's my god, and so I'm always looking for ways to use Bob's stuff."
Riding the Train Around Europe with Dylan (Flagging Down) [10]
"It's funny. You get this opportunity to spend all this free time with one of your idols from your youth, and you don't get to ask him questions. He gets to ask you questions."
The Guy on the Cover of Dylan’s Under the Red Sky (Recliner Notes) [8]
"He’s not exactly smiling through his scraggly half-beard, and there’s a slight squint to his eyes. He has a mischievous, nonchalant air."
Dylan's Gospel Revisited (Peter Stone Brown) [8]
"Both this and “Groom” emphasize one of the virtues of The Bootleg Series – they show how Dylan works on every level, as a songwriter and as a musician, constantly revising lyrics, changing chords, melodies and arrangements."
That Time Bob Dylan Played Elijah the Prophet in a Western (Forward) [8]
MOVIE REVIEW "It is impossible to watch the movie and not connect Alias, played by Bob Dylan, to the ever-present soundtrack music, played by Bob Dylan. They work in tandem to help propel the plot, almost steering it from another dimension."
