Way to derail the convo. I hope Fenway continues our Dylan convo.twisted thoughts wrote: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??
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?Shows: 6.27.08 Hartford, CT/5.15.10 Hartford, CT/6.18.2011 Hartford, CT (EV Solo)/10.19.13 Brooklyn/10.25.13 Hartford

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?".Newch91 wrote: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.
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."FF, I've heard the droning about the Sawx being the baby dolls.

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".FenwayFaithful wrote:

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".Shows: 6.27.08 Hartford, CT/5.15.10 Hartford, CT/6.18.2011 Hartford, CT (EV Solo)/10.19.13 Brooklyn/10.25.13 Hartford

It's amazing that a record can be so good at only 27 minutes. It's not my favorite, but its towards the top.severed hand thirteen2006: Gorge 7/23 2008: Hartford 6/27 Beacon 7/1 2009: Spectrum 10/30-31

Well the lot was bumping for the wilco show back in April 2010. Not football raging, but plenty of solo cups and stealth dugouts.0 -

i expect everyone to do some homework and have places in mind for us to discuss after the announcement email comes tomorrow morning. How do you not know downtown Hartford? It's the only city in your state! Hey, it's not that I'm opposed to parking lot fun and games, but the pre-party is pretty much just us. I'm sure there will be lots of stuff going on at the pre-party. Last year in Hartford, Mr. Dunne ran the whole CCFA thing and it was great. If he does something like this for EVCT11, that's the place to be before the show. It would be wrong of us all if we didn't support Mr. Dunne and the CCFA contingency.
