The Week's Best News & Posts
- Gillian Armstrong Talks Directing Bob Dylan and Tom Petty’s 1986 Concert Film ‘Hard to Handle’ – Flagging Down [8]
- “We ended up having quite a lot of conversations in the end about the final cut. He rang me every night to talk about it. The big thing was that he wasn’t sure which song to open with. I had chosen one of the ones that had a beautiful Louma crane shot. It was Bob on his own with acoustic guitar in the spotlight.”
- How Does Dylan Write His Songs? Dylan’s Own Masterclass (Pt.4) – Dylanology [8]
- “Here’s a side-by-side view of the verse in the two main versions of the song. To the left the track that is called “On a Rainy Afternoon” in the track-list of Cutting Edge, to the right the one called “I Can’t Leave Her Behind”. I have grayed out the chords that are identical between the versions.”
- Tangled Up in Bob, #2: Scott Warmuth – Between Art and Life [8]
- “Interview with Scott Warmuth: “So I did a similar thing with the Masked and Anonymous script where I went through page by page. It’s just being diligent, being persistent.”
- Bob Dylan at The Villa Diodati – HamptonThink [8]
- “That being said, a gothic approach to the topic of “Bob Dylan” allows us not merely to identify Dylan as a slayer of Liberal demons (a snake in the garden of the capitalist world order), but to cast a tormenting light upon the uniquely vampiric realm of Bob Dylan critical studies, a realm long haunted by un-dead practices and presumptions, and long teeming with bourgeois scholars who have spent decades draining the revolutionary spirit from Dylan’s body of work.”
- Cat Power — Sharing Life on the Tightrope That Is Live Performance – Art Fuse [5]
- ““Do you want to make a de-al?” Marshall sang in a husky howl, fans not invisible now as they danced in the front aisles. “Keep the faith,” she said among other clichéd platitudes to the crowd’s parting ovation. Yet she appeared genuinely touched, having shared life on the tightrope that is live performance.”
