Bob Dylan is one of the heroes from my youth. As a
high school student in the 60's I had the Triumph
motorcycle and the curly hair and memorized many of
his songs. I was expecting to enjoy this book and I
wasn't disappointed. It chronicles many of his early
years starting in Hibbing MN, moving to Dinkytown (
the area around University of Minnesota where I also
hung out when I lived in Minneapolis ), and then to
the coffeehouse scene in NYC where he started out
singing Woody and Hank, but developed his own song
writing skills that would move a nation wracked by
racism and war. Everyone knows that he is the best
songwriter in the last 60 years, but now we know he is
just a good writer period. His style gives the events
great personal description that gives a texture to the
moment the reader will hear and smell and feel.
Highly recommended.
