News

Bob Dylan in Prague (Brno Daily)
- "It probably doesn’t matter that others might be at a total loss to understand what all the fuss is about. But it’s also disingenuous to pretend that anyone without that hinterland would find much at all to take from an evening like Saturday."

Dylan Keeps Fans Guessing with Tweets (Star Tribune) [3]
- "That Dylan is a mensch. He often acknowledges the passing of people whose work touched him. But I guess he didn’t monitor the news when he was on tour this summer with Willie Nelson."
Dylan on Billy Lee Riley (The Shelia Variations) [8]
- "Bob Dylan always knew who Riley was. He needed no reminder. Bob Dylan was obsessed with Billy Lee Riley. Dylan was almost like a stalker, trying to find him, trying to get a hold of him."
Dylan's Post-Pericarditis Comeback (Flagging Down The Double E's) [8]
- "Bob clearly wanted to come back with a bang. Rather than just going through the motions, easing back into things, he dusted off two songs he hadn’t played in decades."
Chalamet as Bob Dylan Battles Celebrity Fame (The Hollywood Reporter) [5]
- "There’s also a look at the uneasy partnership between Dylan and Joan Baez, played by Monica Barbaro, as they rise from a singing duo to performing in concert halls and then hitting the top of the charts as the king and queen of folk music."
Three Sides of the Same Coin: Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid (Filmint) [8]
- "A scene that still proves contentious is the death of Sheriff Baker and the use of Bob Dylan’s “Knocking on Heaven’s Door.” The preview cut had the lyrics of the song removed, the 50th anniversary release puts them back in."
Church in Louisville Transformed into Dylan's Bourbon Showcase (WDRB) [3]
- "If you're driving east into NuLu from downtown Louisville, the first thing you might see is a 145-year-old church. The building dates back to 1879 at East Market and Hancock streets, and you could say it's "heaven's door" to one of the city's marquee districts."
