PS Ako usporava torent,probaj da nadjes na nekom livestream, cenim da filmu, buduci opskuran kakav jeste, niko ne stiti autorska prava previse pazljivo, pa kad vec vrte po livestream-ovima te terminatore xvi i avatare, ima i ovo sigurno

tako da uskoro uskoro

Nego ne znam jesi video film iz naslova, tu je Times They Are A-Changin’ izvedena na nacin koji je obrce naglavacke, tojest daje joj savim NOVI kontekst, sa sve rezigniranim Dilanom koji sedi i slusa izvodjenje, among many other goodies sto se tice stariteta njegovih u tom filmu tojest obrade i konteksta

Come senators, congressmen
Please heed the call
Don’t stand in the doorway
Don’t block up the hall
For he that gets hurt
Will be he who has stalled
There’s a battle outside
And it is ragin’.
It’ll soon shake your windows
And rattle your walls

najezim se i danas.

Sutra dakle, u pola dvanaest uvece, film Maskiran i anoniman (doduse, nasi distributeri vole uvek da raspale neki nebulozan naslov pa tako i ovoga puta… gledao sam film prvi put pre 4-5 godina na nekoj domacoj televiziji isto i ne secam se da li je naslov bio isti). Sinopsis je takodje potpuno neodgovarajuci but who cares. Ne propustiti ko god je u prilici da odgleda

Nego, ‘oces da ti pronadjem par njegovih stvarno sumanutih intervjua iz sezdesetih? Bas na fonu ovoga sto Cott citira (offtopic – malo sam guglao oko J. Cott-a, znam ko je od ranije, ali nisam znao da je imao ovo krajnje bizarno iskustvo sa gubitkom pamcenja – covek je negde 2000 imao neki period depresije i izgubio CITAV period od, valjda, polovine osamdesetih do tada). Stavicu link ako hoces, ima na Salon-u intervju s njim od pre par godina.

Oko Dilana, pa upravo to sto kazes, let him be . Kao i svaki ozbiljniji fan, zainteresovan sam da cujem sta misli o ovome i onome, i to je sve OK. Uostalom, on je i sam izazvao tu vrstu paznje koju mu ljudi upucuju, jer ide upravo na tom talasu mistifikacija-demistifikacija, maskiranja i anonimnosti .

Ali mislim da se malo preteralo s tim (malo vise) ovih par decenija i uopste je Bob generalno poprilicno jasan oko toga da mu ta vrste paznje medija, fanova i „teoreticara“ nimalo ne prija. Evo jedne izjave na tu temu;

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. That such people have spent so much time thinking about who? Me? Get a life, please.

Jer, objektivno kad pogledamo, Dilan nikad (izuzev tih ranih-do-srednjih-sezdesetih) nije imao auru neke superzvezde (a ni tada nije imao stardom profila Lenona ili Dzegera), nije ziveo taj zivot, nije se razvodio/zenio/pravio decu pred medijima, nije bio mirodjija svake corbe i nije izgledalo da nesto SAM trazi to sto ga prati.

A opet, gomila njegovih fanova je intrigirana bas tim zivotom koji on krije (sto je mozda i dobar reklamni fazon, a mozda i iskrena zelja da u tom delu bude ostavljen na miru). Sto je sve odlicno, dok ne predje u tu fanovsku patologiju bez koje izgleda nema nijedne ozbiljne karijere a da je to ne prati.

Opet, tu ima nesto drugo sto karakterise nase vreme: zelja ljudi da, iz ovog/onog razloga pronadju INSTANT gurue, otkrivace istina i slicno. Pa tu onda ljudi iz popularne kulture nagrabuse ni krivi ni duzni, cim imaju javni STAV o necemu, odmah ih masovno analiziraju, tumace i ostalo.
Mozda je Lenon, iz rokenrola, imao slican problem sa tom percepcijom u javnosti, osim sto je bio ekstrovertniji od Dilana i uzivao u tome.

Posthumno se to dogadja i Strameru, cini mi se. Sad je bio „najbolji drug“ gomili mediokriteta koji ga citiraju uzduz i popreko. A covek bi garant umro ponovo, da vidi ko se danas kaci na njegov opus

Mr. Dylan, how would you define folk music?
As a constitutional re-play of mass production.
Would you call your songs “folk songs”?
No.
Are protest songs “folk songs”?
I guess, if they’re a constitutional re-play of mass production.
Do you prefer songs with a subtle or obvious message?
With a what???
A subtle or obvious message?
Uh—I don’t really prefer those kinds of songs at all—“message”—you mean like—what songs with a message?
Well, like “Eve of Destruction” and things like that.
Do I prefer that to what?
I don’t know, but your songs are supposed to have a subtle message.
Subtle message???
Well, they’re supposed to.
Where’d you hear that?

Was that wild mercury sound in “I Want You”?
Yeah, it was in “I Want You.” It was in a lot of that stuff. It was in the album before that, too.
“Highway 61 Revisited”?
Yeah. Also in “Bringing It All Back Home.” That’s the sound I’ve always heard. . . .
The period when you came out with “Highway 61” must have been exciting.
Those were exciting times. We were doing it before anybody knew we would—or could. We didn’t know what it was going to turn out to be. Nobody thought of it as folk-rock at the time. There were some people involved in it like The Byrds, and I remember Sonny and Cher and the Turtles and the early Rascals. It began coming out on the radio. I mean, I had a couple of hits in a row. That was the most I ever had in a row—two. The top ten was filled with that kind of sound—the Beatles, too—and it was exciting, those days were exciting. It was the sound of the streets. It still is. I symbolically hear that sound wherever I am.
You hear the sound of the street?
That ethereal twilight light, you know. It’s the sound of the street with the sunrays, the sun shining down at a particular time, on a particular type of building. A particular type of people walking on a particular type of street. It’s an outdoor sound that drifts even into open windows that you can hear. The sound of bells and distant railroad trains and arguments in apartment buildings and the clinking of silverware and knives and forks and beating with leather straps. It’s all—it’s all there. Just lack of a jackhammer, you know.
You mean if a jackhammer were—
Yeah, no jackhammer sounds, no airplane sounds. All pretty natural sounds. It’s water, you know water trickling down a brook. It’s light flowing through the . . .
Late-afternoon light?
No, it’s usually the crack of dawn. Music filters out to me in the crack of dawn.
The “jingle jangle morning”?
Right.

a pazi ovaj komentar na album koji sam spomenula za x-mas:
“Winter Wonderland”, Dylan sounds like a drunken serial killer following Perry Como home, unsure if he wants to murder Mr. Como, or duet with him. “Christmas Blues” makes me think of a 60-year-old, heavily smoking drag queen covering Norah Jones in a piano bar. And when “O’Come All Ye Faithful” comes on, an awkward vision of Ebenezer Scrooge getting a colonic dances in my head. Susan Sontag once said “the ultimate Camp statement: it’s good because it’s awful”, and I think she may have been prophesying this very album, because Bob Dylan has played the ultimate joke on us with this pile of schlock.’

nego, let bob dylan be bob dylan

Nego, jel’ sad bolje sa naslovnom fotkom, ponovo sam je postavio. Ja je vidim bez problema ali ne znam da li i ostali posetioci vide.

Oko Christmas in the Heart, da, jedva cekam da cujem album. Komentare je vec izazvao, ali cini mi se da vecina komentatora po medijima u Americi masi poentu: ovo je, naprosto, logican korak u tom Dilanovom redefinisanom Bob-the-Old-Man segmentu karijere. Covek se, jednostavno, vec dugo vraca tim folk-korenima (jos od onih albuma sa obradama iz ranih devedesetih, pa preko velikog povratka sa Time Out of Mind i narednih tri albuma sve do ovog poslednjeg… naprosto, tu ima, i tekstualno i zanrovski i estetski i politicki i kako god, daleko vise te melanholicne Amerikane ranog rokenrola i pred-rokenrola, koja je pocela da nestaje upravo sa detinjstvom Dilanove generacije).

Tako da mi ovo izgleda kao zelja da se, eto, reafirmise taj neki pomalo zaboravljeni deo americke (i svake druge, uostalom) kulture, u njihovom slucaju Bozic kao simbol porodicnog praznika, mom-and-apple-pie-Amerike i toga
A i tradiciju bozicnih albuma, nakon Elvisa, Luija Armostronga, Binga Krozbija, BB Kinga… nekako mi je logicno da po redu velicina preuzme Dilan.

Osim toga, citav prihod albuma od ove ali i svih buducih prodaja i autorskih prava – ide direktno u humanitarne svrhe, i celoj stvari je Bob dao ovde bas jednu lepu i opstu simboliku

odavno nisam procitala tako kompletan i informativan clanak o nekom umetniku, pogotovu kada je u pitanju uvek nepredvidiv ‘originalan vagabund’, Bob Dylan. Cisti ‘Dylaness.’

Juce sam citala razlicite komentare o njegovom najnovijem albumu koji je u prodavnicama za X-mas, ‘Christmas in the Heart’ i kritike su podeljene.
Meni se posebno dopala kritika u Slate magazinu, I Dreamed I Saw St. Nicholas: Why Bob Dylan’s Christmas Album Isn’t a Joke
