Bob Dylan Discoveries - The World of Bob Dylan
Comment:
The young folksinger’s world was colonized with a young man’s idealistic dreams, standing shoulder to shoulder like so many freedom riders. In “When the Ship Comes In,” Dylan goes Biblical when his crystal ball predicts that our foes, “like Pharoah’s tribe, they’ll be drownded in the tide.” In “Tombstone Blues,” he not only name-checks John the Baptist — he cites Paul Revere, Galileo, Jack the Ripper, and Beethoven in a hallucinatory stream of consciousness whose central plot is as eerie as it is spellbinding. As Dylan matured, his black-and-white visions didn’t fade to grey; just like television, they blossomed into living color.
