Lateness, according to Edward Said, is characterized by a kind of artistic innovation in the midst of physical infirmity. Lateness is a denial of the unifying artistic gesture, the stubborn refusal to issue a final proclamation.

Artist:
I heard this item on NPR's All Things Considered and just had to share it. You must hear these people wax hippie poetic over Dylan at the annual Dylan's birthday celebration in the Northeast Indian town of Shillong. DO NOT FAIL to click on the link on the left side of the screen for Darrell Diengdoh's rendition of "Don't Think Twice, It's Alright"! http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.ph...

Bob Dylanby Angela Zimmerman • May 15, 2009 Bob DylanTogether Through Life(Columbia, 2009)At the time of writing this review, a few weeks after Together Through Life, Bob Dylan's 33rd studio album, hit the digital and physical distribution shelves, it has already gone to #1 on the US and UK charts. No big surprise there; his albums have usually done well, and his last, 2006's Modern Times, w...

Track:Beyond Here Lies Nothing
Now I know why "Beyond Here Lies Nothing" was the first track released off Dylan's latest album, Together Through Life. It's the best song here, with a spirited arrangement, some tough blues guitar and a decent vocal performance. Paired with the black and white still photos of the video, it becomes nearly a keeper, that is if you don't go back and give "Highway 61 Revisited" a revisit.I've only...

Album:
Depending on who's doing the counting Together Through Life is somewhere between the 33rd and 46th studio album of Bob Dylan's long and illustrious career. Pitching in on this one are members of The Heartbreakers as well as Los Lobos.That diverse input is reflected in the music. Even with all of these inputs and influences, the album has an overwhelming sense of been there/done that. Some of

There are people, influential people, that say Bob Dylan’s entered somewhat of a renaissance. On paper, it’d be hard to disagree. His last two albums have sold as many copies as his entire ‘80s and ‘90s output combined- and this in the midst of a collapsing industry, while old-school rock…

Yeah, yeah, I know. Its not like Bob Dylan doesn't get enough attention. But more often than not you'll just hear the same old songs over and over until you start to forget that there was more to him than subterranean homesick blues. This track sends shivers down my spine.

My good friend dermahrk said (in another thread)..."Actually, Dylan gave up politics, what, 35 years ago and hasn't written a "protest" song for a long, long time." I think it would be closer to the truth to say that Dylan backed off the simplistic blacknwhite nature of his earlier protest songs because they're obvious traps. "A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall" is a pounding, powerful song. Pointi...
