por Barry Feinstein. Todas las fotografías de él, en su mayoría la verdad, son de famosos. Pero a diferencia del resto de fotógrafos de ese entonces, además de documentar las vidas de las celebridades se encarga de dar su genuina perspectiva, para mi gusto, uno de los más reconocibles y notables.
'Then take me disappearin' through the smoke rings of my mind
Down the foggy ruins of time, far past the frozen leaves
The haunted, frightened trees, out to the windy beach
Far from the twisted reach of crazy sorrow
Yes, to dance beneath the diamond sky with one hand waving free
Silhouetted by the sea, circled by the circus sands
With all memory and fate driven deep beneath the waves
Let me forget about today until tomorrow.'
-Bob Dylan
The Nobel Prize in Literature 2016: Bob Dylan
The Nobel Prize in Literature for 2016 is awarded to Bob Dylan "for having created new poetic expressions within the great American song tradition".
Photo taken at the Bob Dylan Exhibition "Mood Swings", Halcyon Gallery, New Bond Street, December 2013. I think the original photo was credited to His Bobness himself.

Bio-bibliographical Notes:
Bob Dylan was born on May 24, 1941 in Duluth, Minnesota. He grew up in a Jewish middle-class family in the city of Hibbing. As a teenager he played in various bands and with time his interest in music deepened, with a particular passion for American folk music and blues. One of his idols was the folk singer Woody Guthrie. He was also influenced by the early authors of the Beat Generation, as well as by modernist poets.
Dylan moved to New York in 1961 and began to perform in clubs and cafés in Greenwich Village. He met the record producer John Hammond with whom he signed a contract for his debut album, called Bob Dylan (1962). In the following years he recorded a number of albums which have had a tremendous impact on popular music: Bringing It All Back Home and Highway 61 Revisited in 1965, Blonde On Blonde in 1966 and Blood On The Tracks in 1975. His productivity continued in the following decades, resulting in masterpieces like Oh Mercy (1989), Time Out Of Mind (1997) and Modern Times (2006).
Dylan’s tours in 1965 and 1966 attracted a lot of attention. For a period he was accompanied by film maker D. A. Pennebaker, who documented life around the stage in what would come to be the movie Dont Look Back (1967). Dylan has recorded a large number of albums revolving around topics like the social conditions of man, religion, politics and love. The lyrics have continuously been published in new editions, under the title Lyrics. As an artist, he is strikingly versatile; he has been active as painter, actor and scriptwriter.
Besides his large production of albums, Dylan has published experimental work like Tarantula (1971) and the collection Writings and Drawings (1973). He has written the autobiography Chronicles (2004), which depicts memories from the early years in New York and which provides glimpses of his life at the center of popular culture. Since the late 1980s, Bob Dylan has toured persistently, an undertaking called the “Never-Ending Tour”. Dylan has the status of an icon. His influence on contemporary music is profound, and he is the object of a steady stream of secondary literature.

PREMIO NOBEL PER LA LETTERATURA 2016.
STOCCOLMA - Il Nobel per la Letteratura 2016 è andato a Bob Dylan per aver "creato una nuova espressione poetica nell'ambito della tradizione della grande canzone americana". Lo ha comunicato il Comitato dei Nobel a Stoccolma. L'annuncio è stato accolto dal boato dei presenti in sala. Che l'hanno saputo prima del vincitore. "Bob Dylan non sa ancora di aver vinto il Nobel per la letteratura" ha detto la segretaria dell'Accademia svedese, Sara Danius. Nessuno ha avvertito la leggenda prima dell'annuncio.

Yesterday I received a copy of Fifteen One Act Plays, a collection of Sam Shepard's work. I've just read one of those plays, 'Short Life of Trouble'. The two characters are Bob & Sam. Dylan & Shepard. Sam has a tape recorder & is interviewing Bob who leaves the stage a couple of times to make inconsequential telephone calls during which the audience hear his voice. Otherwise he engages in conversation with Sam whilst picking a guitar. They discuss James Dean & Hank Williams. Nothing much really happens but the feeling is that this might have actually happened.
I saw the short play in my head while I read it. I could hear Dylan's voice delivering the lines. I can't imagine it ever being performed but I enjoyed it. I don't really know why. Nothing much really happened.
"If today was not a crooked highway
If tonight was not a crooked trail
If tomorrow wasn't such a long time
Then lonesome would mean nothing to you at all...."

"We live in a political world
Where peace is not welcome at all
It's turned away from the door
To wonder some more
Or put up against the wall"
/watch?v=jg29g6D0sPs
This song is the opening track on Oh Mercy, released in 1989. It was a comeback of sorts for Dylan who was struggling for inspiration to write. "Everybody works in the shadow of what they have previously done. But you have to overcome that." The most outstanding song on this album is Man in the long black coat, gloriously covered by Mark Lanegan but I digress...
This street art depicted in this image is located in a Laneway off Queen Victoria Market by the artist Heesco (Thanks Andrew). I'll let you make your own connections between the image and Dylan's song, but for me, it couldn't be more relevant with the recent exclusion events in the USA. The cover of the Oh Mercy album is a piece of street art that Dylan came across in Hell's Kitchen, New York so I thought that made a nice tie in.
I hope you like this shot, I had a time taking it with the wind blowing! Have a wonderful night my sweet friends! I'm going to bed for the night!
Hugs,
Kim

This is the first image in my 100 X 2017 series. My theme is Bob Dylan songs.
Most people who love music have some-one that has been the sound track to their lives.
For me it is Bob Dylan.
My love affair started when I was a teenager. It was not cool to like Bob Dylan where I came from in the 1970s but there was a small group of us who were dedicated followers, a secret society that would sit around, discussing his lyrics, like pretentious intellectuals. Many of my vinyls have written notes on the lyric sheets. When I heard he was coming to Australia in 1986, my first opportunity to see him, I rang my boyfriend in tears and said that once I see him I can die (True Confessions Tour with Tom Petty at Kooyong). I went to both concerts just in case. Well, fortunately for me I didn't and went on to see all his tours to Melbourne since. Anyone who has seen BD knows that his concerts are "like a box of chocolates" you never know what you are going to get. However, I always feel I am in the presence of royalty (His Bobness).
What I love most about his songs is that they always take me on a lyrical journey of such rich imagery and adventure, I can see the places, the characters, their clothes, the ridiculous and the heartbroken. I can feel the rage of injustice, the blistering sun, the outrageous, idiot wind and smell her sweet perfume.
This image is of me holding Bob's first album Bob Dylan (1962), surrounded by all his original vinyls I have collected over the years. I imagine I have bitten off more than I can chew in trying to do this but I think I will have some fun and I hope you aren't too bored by the journey and can share it with me.
Prix Nobel de littérature !?... et pourquoi pas ?
pour ce qui est de la 10th anniversary edition, oct.28th est la date de sa sortie US, mais pour sa sortie par chez nous, va falloir attendre.

Ode to Nashville Skyline-FOFT Music from 1969
The FFF+ Group has a monthly challenge called "Freestyle On The Fifth" a different theme posted on the 5th of the month. This month it was Phunny Photos turn to choose the theme, and she chose -Music from 1969.
I looked at the top 100 songs from 1969 and saw Dylan’s Lay Lady Lay. I had already paid tribute to this song for my Dylan Series and then I thought of the iconic album cover of Nashville Skyline, the album which Lay Lady Lay was from.
I wondered if I could replicate it using my No. 1 son as the model.
I tried.
I thought it would be easier than it was but it turned out to be really difficult to get that bloody angle right. We tried 3 different photo shoots. Dark cloudy skies in one shoot, so windy the hat kept blowing off in another and then the sun was in the wrong position. I had the added pressure of my son decided to bleach his hair last week so needed to get it done before then! (no blonde allowed peeking out from the hat for Bob Dylan).
Nashville Skyline was incredibly important for the country music industry. The album didn’t rate in the country charts but was No. 3 on the Billboard top 200 and introduced mainstream fans to a sound many had never heard before. This crossover of country and pop helped pave the way for the Eagles and other country-rock superstars of the early ’70s “The country scene was so conservative until he arrived. He brought in a whole new audience (said Kris Kristofferson). The album took 4 days to record.
My favourite song is Girl From North Country. Even those that don’t love Dylan’s voice might find this one surprisingly beautiful. This album marked a change in Dylan’s vocals: “He had developed a baritone country croon that he claimed was a result of his decision to quit smoking cigarettes. “
(Interview in Rolling Stone).

Sorry-I just can’t help myself rattling about Dylan but I do know a few of my followers are fans too.
I nearly drove myself mad trying to get the image right so this is not identical but it is my Ode to my favourite musician with my favourite son once again putting up with my direction to model for me (Added to Flickr x 100 2020 -5/10 portraits of son).
