That's awesome dude. We'll all have a big party before the show in the parking lot...or some restaurant.

No need. It's just for vacation. :evil: Going to Maynard James Keenans winery and a wedding.

I'm up for pints anywhere though

It's funny how Bob Dylan made "Self Portrait" on purpose. He's a genius.

This thread is going crazy...but I'm glad it's still going strong. Newch, I keep thinking your new avatar is you...looking like Dave, but with a cap and gown holding a diploma...no Idea why but it always makes me look twice. Okay, I'm tired and not making sense...also a bit excited for the news that is supposed to be coming any day soon...

John Wesley Harding, Nashville Skyline, Self Portrait...that's Dylan for me.

The Bob Johnston years were awesome for Dylan. He was just killing it and writing awesome songs in the late60's - early70's.

The thing with Self Portrait is, it's not that great and he made it like that so people can stop calling him the "spokesman of his generation".

I'm still trying to get my head around the lyrics from Bringing It All Back Home to Blonde on Blonde. WHAT WAS HE ON WHEN HE MADE THOSE 3 ALBUMS??? It's like a mad man was let loose from his cage.

FenwayFaithful

Those were wild times Newch. He was all over the place. I like to think that his claim holds true that he stopped writing protest songs in 1964 and I think his lyrical departure from that with the albums you described post 1964 until John Wesley Harding was indicative that he was forcing himself away from being "the voice of his generation".

I listened to Nashville Skyline on vinyl the other day and to me, that's the most perfect Dylan record.

edit: love the Dylan discussion kid

I like what you're saying about "the voice of his generation". He says it perfect in "Maggie's Farm":

I ain't gonna work on Maggie's farm, no more. He's saying "I'm not writing any more protest songs."

I've got a head full of ideas that are driving me insane/It's a shame the way she makes me scrub the floor.
The "ideas" he talks about are what'll eventually happen in BIABH to Blonde on Blonde. The "she" in the next line probably refers to either Joan Baez or Joni Mitchell, who wanted him to keep writing the protest songs.

"Maggie's Farm" is his declaration of freedom from the folk scene and writing protest songs.

I have to give "Nashville Skyline" a few more listens.

Not to derail your Dylan discussion (which im sure my other half is enjoying if he is spectating ) but what do people think about tailgating for the Bushnell? I know that the free parking lots across the street from the venue are for the people who work at the state buildings there. Obviously, the show would be either after the workers are out or on the weekend. I went to the Bushnell once, but there was no tailgating going on. It was a rainy weekday show which may have made the difference there. Im just wondering if they will have heavy police presence in the parking lot to prevent tailgating because it is state property. Or, if they arent even thinking about it because the venue really only does plays and shit (I dont imagine too many people tailgate before going to see Rent ), and they have no fucking clue what the hell is gonna go down when EV rolls up with his PJ followers in tow. Im just thinking, it would be a shame to come prepared to tailgate (with coolers full and pockets only filled for specific merch) and then realize the po po got a lock on the parking lot and we gotta cram into some little bar downtown. We will need to have a plan B. Plan A obviously being for tailgating (because its cheaper, you get to enjoy the great outdoors and Newch can have a beer ) Locals will have to help us choose that plan B locale.

Thoughts??

Way to derail the convo. I hope Fenway continues our Dylan convo.

It's looking like it's going to be a Saturday show. I've never been to the Bushnell. Maybe get a little party at a local sports bar or something and make sure to sign the shirt. We're still doing the shirt?

Well said. I think Maggie's Farm actually is a protest song, since it's underlying themes are in slavery. But I really like your take on it. I think his best protest songs are "Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll" and "Who Killed Davey Moore?".

Kid, you are wise beyond your years. Like a musical version of Will Hunting in CT.

The thing with Nashville Skyline is, it's his most country album. He basically went into hiding from the music community in the months leading up to its production and he wanted a new cast of accompanying players. He also brought in Johnny Cash to duet on "Girl from North Country". The album clocks in at just over 27 minutes. To me, I hear a Dylan that is finally at peace with himself as a musician and poet, and also someone that's proud of himself for separating himself from the Greenwich Village/Newport contingency. It's an album that segues perfectly into his last couple Bob Johnston albums in the early 70's.

I think the use of slavery in Maggie's Farm is him talking about himself being a slave in the folk world and people telling him to write protest songs. Besides the obvious "Blowing In the Wind" and "Times They Are A-Changing", I think his best protest songs are "A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall" and "Masters of War".

Thank you man. I appreciate you calling me the musical version of Will Hunting in CT.

I completely agree that Nashville Skyline is his most country album. You can tell by the sound of his voice. I did hear Johnny Cash in the duet remake of "Girl form North Country".

It's amazing that a record can be so good at only 27 minutes. It's not my favorite, but its towards the top.

You want my thoughts on this? My thoughts are that you think about these things too much. Why would you want to tailgate for EVCT11 when the pre-party is gonna be bumpin'? That's what I wanna know. And as far as the police presence, don't do anything illegal and all will be well. (Or at least don't get caught).

Well the lot was bumping for the wilco show back in April 2010. Not football raging, but plenty of solo cups and stealth dugouts.
