Few American artists are as important, beloved and endlessly
examined as Bob Dylan, yet he remains something of an enigma. This
kaleidoscopic biography, full of the voices of Dylan's family,
friends, and fellow travelers through the 60s, offers an entirely
fresh narrative perspective, fusing rock star bio with an
examination of the music and the zeitgeist that he so mysteriously
captured. For almost half a century, Bob Dylan has been a primary
catalyst in rock's shifting sensibilities. He has starred in and
been the subject of major films; his work is taught in over 200
college courses; and few American artists are as important,
beloved, and endlessly examined as he is. Yet, he remains something
of an enigma. Who, we ask, is the "real" Bob Dylan? Is he Bobby
Zimmerman yearning to escape Hibbing, Minnesota, or the Woody
Guthrie wannabe spending the 1960s playing Greenwich Village
haunts? The protest poet, the Factory fixture, or the born-again
Christian denying the powers of prophecy everyone attributes to
him? The events of his life alone do not tell us all we want to
know. Now, David Dalton, author, screenwriter, journalist, and
founding editor of Rolling Stone, paints a revealing portrait of
the rock icon that will be a must-have for his legions of fans.
Guided by Dalton's masterful hand, this book will follow Dylan's
imaginative life, integrating actual events from his life, Dylan's
words, and those of the people who know him most intimately.
Drawing upon extensive interviews with Dylan's friends, family, and
fellow eyewitnesses to the zeitgeist-including Joan Baez, Keith
Richards, Bobby Neuwirth, Kris Kristofferson, Suze Rotolo, Clive
Davis, Tom Petty, and others-this book will provide a new
perspective on the man, the myth, and the musical era that forged
them both.
