Seven Days of Dylan News
DYLAN ON TOUR
"Dylan mangling Dylan is, after all, peak Dylan. So the freewheeling way in which he offers up Most Likely You Go Your Way (And I’ll Go Mine), with big pregnant pauses, just serves to highlight different aspects of this gimlet-eyed romantic cross-examination from 1966. - Kitty Empire (The Guardian)

Blog Posts and Others
- Dylan’s Use of ‘Imatatio’ to Write Songs (The Conversation)
- A literary technique/practice of emulating, adaptating, reworking and enriching a source text by an earlier author.
- Peace, Love, and Tears of Rage (Flagging Down The Double E’s)
- “For the only time ever, (Dylan and Costello) did a duet on “Tears of Rage.” No band, just the two of them. I believe it marks the last time Dylan played acoustic guitar on the concert stage too.”
- Why Dylan Changes His Songs (Untold Dylan)
- “But it is important to realise just how recent this notion of a fixed, definitive version of music is.”
- Man In The Long Black Coat Pt5 (Pt.6)(Untold Dylan)
- “Dylan opens the last verse of his 1989 “Man In The Long Black Coat” with There’s smoke on the water, and a scenario in which it escapes him that he is quoting Deep Purple is extremely unlikely.”

IMAGE OF THE WEEK
Dylan scribbled on and Signed Town Hall '63 Flyer
This is going up for auction. The night after the Town Hall show, Dylan headed to Boston, where he and his then-girlfriend Suze Rotolo stayed with Barry Mushlin, who made the couple a matzo breakfast the following day. A poster from the Town Hall show came home with them that night, which Dylan decorated by crossing out some media outlets' names. It appears that if Dylan liked their quote, he would scratch out the outlet's name and write ``Bob Dylan.`` And when he disapproved, he seemingly let that be known, too. BBC Radio Times, for instance, notes on the poster that Dylan is ``One of the most compelling blues singers ever recorded.`` Bob was having none of it, scratching out the BBC's name and writing in its place a simple ``Bullshit.``
