Bob Dylan Things Changed by Ron Rosenbaum (31 results)

Hardback. Condition: Good. Renowned culture critic Ron Rosenbaum discovered not only the world-changing music of early Bob Dylan, but the man himself in the 1960s, when Rosenbaum was a young journalist living in Greenwich Village and working for the legendary alt-newspaper, The Village Voice. Rosenbaum, in fact, lived around the corner from Dylan, and shared mutual friends. It was the time, and the place, where an essential idea of Dylan's character was formed - that of the whip-smart, angry, too-cool-for-school icon, a kind of James Dean in denim. The raspy voice, not to mention the brilliantly cutting lyricism, only somehow added to his cultural dangerousness. Dylan has had many changes of character since then, and throughout, Dylan would tell people, 'I'm not that person anymore,' whatever previous character he was asked about. In a probing and personal literary appreciation, Rosenbaum deep-dives into Dylan's lyrics and writings and his infrequent interviews (including Rosenbaum's own 10-day interview of Dylan in 1978) from throughout his career. What sparked the various conversions and adaptations? And what precisely did Dylan's Jewishness, his mysticism, and his visits with psychics have to do with it all? As Dylan continues to tour the world nonstop with his band and continues to compose new songs, while refusing to play old songs the same way, Rosenbaum offers a moving and involving portrait of an icon who may have been more constant than it appeared. …

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - In the wake of the recent hit biopic A Complete Unknown, this probing appreciation asks: Do the lyrics of Bob Dylan tell the true story of the ever-changing, ever-radical life and career of the Nobel Prize-winning songwriter In a dingy windowless bungalow on the Warner Brothers back lot in Hollywood in 1977, in the midst of what may have been the longest interview he ever gave (it stretched over ten days), a chain-smoking Bob Dylan confessed to journalist Ron Rosenbaum that he was troubled by something missing from his music. Dylan who was editing a dramatic movie based on his life, even as his life seemed to be falling apart told Rosenbaum there was a sound he was after that he'd only come close to on one record so far. The sound, he told Rosenbaum, was of "thin, wild mercury."This is a book that captures the elusive mercurial artist and his work in a way no other has a vivid, compelling pursuit of Dylan, successively a hipster folkie, a Greenwich Village sparkplug of a cultural revolution, who plugged into an amplifier to drive away folkie solemnity, then became a countrified crooner, the man who, just months after Rosenbaum's interview, became a fire-breathing, proselytizing Christian . . . before returning to being a non-religious Jew.What was behind it all, Rosenbaum asks, and how can we understand him through his lyrics Tracing it from Dylan's childhood when his father hired a Brooklyn rabbi to come to remote Minnesota to prepare his son for his bar mitzvah through the still touring singer's late, often inscrutable lyrics, Rosenbaum probes Dylan's "argument with God," his differentiation between authenticity and sincerity, and his relentless heretical stances. Of course, complicating matters for anyone trying to trace the development of Dylan and his life's work is Dylan's recurrent denial of the continuity of self. (Whenever asked why he doesn't sing the old songs the same way as on the record, Dylan typically responds with an irritated, "That's not me.")Ron Rosenbaum has covered Dylan for almost the entirety of his and Dylan's career, starting as a Village Voice culture reporter in 1969. In this deeply personal and literary appreciation, and as Dylan continues to tour and compose new songs, still refusing to play old songs the old way, Rosenbaum offers a moving and involving portrait of an icon who may have been more constant than it appeared after all.…
