IF NOTHING ELSE, 2020 HAS BEEN
helpfully configured for private study, and many of us have spent these long months trying to unpick the secrets of Bob Dylan’s Rough And Rowdy Ways. What connects the Greek muses with eminent American generals? Where is the Conch Republic? What’s the dirtiest joke in Ancient Roman poetry? Who was Ward Hill Lamon? And what, ultimately, “would Julius Caesar do?”
In this MOJO, we present the results of our findings, as part of our latest and most expansive Dylan Odyssey. Al Kooper and Harvey Brooks take us back 55 years, to the epochal sessions for Highway 61 Revisited. Another insider reveals all about the ’80s night Dylan went new wave. And the staunch Alan Jackson tells us about his multiple audiences with the Great Man – though one should never, we’re advised, refer to Dylan in such in a fawning way. “These so-called connoisseurs of Bob Dylan music! I don’t feel they know a thing or have an inkling of who I am and what I’m about,” Dylan told Jackson in 2001, from the shadows of a darkened Rome hotel room. Few honest Dylan scholars really think they understand this most enigmatic genius. But who can resist trying to solve at least a few of his puzzles? “Man,” as he sings on Mother Of Muses. “I could tell their stories all day…”
Never create anything.
It will be misinterpreted Thank you readers of MOJO for reaching out to me with regards to the information posted along with the photo [MOJO 324, p63, of John, Julian and Cynthia Lennon with May Pang, captioned as taken at Disney World in December 1974]. This photo was actually taken in January 1974 and it looks like it was the Paramount Studios outing I had organised for John, Julian, Cynthia and myself in Los Angeles.
I had never seen it, so it was a pleasant surprise for me. In December 1974 John, Julian and I went to Disney World in Florida for our Christmas holiday. It was there I took the only photos of John signing The Beatles’ Dissolution Papers. He was the last of the four to do so. It was fitting since John started
this group that he should be the one to end it. May Pang, via e-mail
