- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Each phrase comes at you from a ten-foot drop, scuttles across the road and then another one comes like a punch on the chin.
So goes Dylan on the marvel of Pirate Jenny, the haunting number by Brecht/Weill in their Three Penny Opera. Apparently seeing this performed life indelibly changed Dylan's approach to songwriting. I bought myself G.W. Pabst's film version of TPO for this recent Christmas and I was absolutely riveted by Lotte Lenya's performance of the song, she's so cold , so decisive, much like Thomas Mann's Naphta. I was not a stranger to the song, having been moved for years by Nina Simone's rendition. My first encounter, however, happened years before when I was vacationing in Rome. Foot-sore, yet exhilarated, we had been walking all day and came across publicity posters for an Italian performer scheduled to play that evening the songs of Brecht/Weill in both German and Italian. For the life of me, I can't remember the name of the young woman -- but she owned the songs and all of us in attendance. One of the documentaries on the Three Penny Opera relates Brecht's penchant for appropriation, "he stole, but with genius." I've heard many similar references to Picasso and it is simply coincidence that Dylan next speaks of Guernica and Pablo P after his rumination on Pirate Jenny. How better could one loop the wonky arc of Chronicles than to situate the book (and its legion of complains of plagiarism) alongside such earlier masters of Love and Theft. - Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Chronicles Book One by Bob Dylan 2004 Simon and Schuster 3.8 / 5.0I have been a fan of Bob Dylan's lyrics and songs for decades. He has been the voice and inspiration for so many, and is greatly respected by many, very diverse people. I enjoyed the easy free flow of this memoir, the influence other musicians and people had on him and his respect for the roots and style of early folk musicians. It was surprising at times.From his own roots in Minnesota, playing the Purple Onion, to his move to New York in 1961. How he chose his "acting" name; why he chose family over career are pivotal moments in his life and discussed with surprising candor in this book. His move to Woodstock and the energy it took for him to have any privacy was amazing. The loss he felt when he injured his hand, and was in a cast up to his elbow and unable to play. The crossroads of his career, when Lonnie Johnson taught him a system of guitar playing that Dylan believes helped revitalize his career. He sailed the entire Caribbean with his family in a 63 ft sailboat. It's all here. Plus more.What strikes me most is how close he stayed to his roots in music and life, and it gives this book much depth. Dylan says he was put in the position of being a voice of his era, all he every really wanted was the privacy to raise his kids with his wife. Recommended.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5You can tell by reading this book that Dylan is a great writer. With imagination and candor he takes us on a journey with him through his life.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Whether or not all of the facts are correct is irrelevant; this book was a good read and it was interesting to see how Zimmy set down his own legendary past in narrative form.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Great, great book. Dylan doesn't cover what the gossip columnists want to hear, instead giving readers a glimpse into the way he thinks and feels.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5My daughter had me buy this book at a thrift store for her son, who is interested in music, but not pursuing it very systematically. I discovered that in fact I already had a copy, but never read it. My observations, which are a bit different is my facination with his descriptions. He loves to describe places and there are excellent descriptions . He also adds interesting tidbits...too bad no index...the sad life of Robert E Lee's father who was disfigured by lye and ended up in the West Indies, a description of trains " I'd seen and heard trains from my earliest childhoodand the sight and sound of them always made me feel secure" (I can identify with this, a train running near my house). His description of living as a young child through World War II rang true to me, as I did too. "If you were born around this time you could feel the old world go and the new one beginning" .(Yes, yes..it was really like that).He refers to the radio as "the sountrack of my life".Then his descriptions of libraries. He devotes 12 pages to a personal library he visits (Library thingers....what effect is your library having on others that you do not even know about ?). There is even a wonderful description of the New York Public Library, Too bad there is no index to this book. Once Dylan became well known he met a lot of famous people and has interesting observations...Archibald MacLeich, John Wayne and of course Joan Baez and other musicians.Excellent, excellent, a book to dip into from time to time.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Overall, I really enjoyed this book! It was interesting to read about Dylan - his background, his early life, and where he got his influences and muses from. My issue with this volume, is that it is out of order, and an inordinately large portion (1/5)of the book is written about the making of one album, "Oh Mercy". That happens in Chapter 4, totally out of chronological order with the other chapters, and frankly, completely out of place in this volume. I felt like it should be in Volume 3 or later at most! It is interesting, but it is also jarring in the disruption of the flow from the other chapters. But all-in-all, this was a cool book to read!
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5A fresh and refreshing account of some legendary times by the biggest legend of them all. Disarmingly peppy and slyly witty.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Well, my mistake, but this was an abridged version. I can imagine what was left out, but one never knows! I found the editorial choice to have the story told as a circle an unusual one. I might not have found it quite as disconcerting had I been reading a print version.Their were few calendar notes to orient the reader/listener to what music was happening when. Although he has been married at least twice, one would not know this from the book. Or, perhaps, the time line only covered one marriage. It may be none of my business, but hey, he brought it up!He left out his "born again" experience, though again, it may not have corresponded to the time period covered.Sean Penn was an inspired choice for the narrator. His voice is not Dylan's, but it has the right quality.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Book club selection. Was a very disjointed account of Bob Dylan's life... reading this, you'd think he was the epitome of the family man, just a little drink now and then. It jumps from experience to experience ... not exactly a chronological chronicle.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This is a really intimate book, it is clear that Dylan gives it everything he's got to make it as truly auto-biographical as possible. As you would expect from Dylan it is stunningly written and occasionally makes you stop just to admire his ability to write even in this format. One thing is for certain, if you like Dylan's music and haven't read this you are doing yourself an injustice. Finally this book is responsible for introducing me to the music of Woody Guthrie and that really isn't any bad thing!
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Fantastic to find out from Dylan, in his own words, that he was always surprised by and rejected the messianic adulation of some of his listeners. He never felt himself to be some great liberal.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5So much has been written and speculated about why Dylan did this, wrote that, etc. It's refreshing to hear his own take on many of the famous or notorious episodes in his past. I look forward to Vol. 2.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Great book by one of the greatest musical minds of this generation. Can't wait for volume II
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5As I started this book I was wondering, "Why the buzz?" It seemed to be rambling nonsense. That sensation, however, did not last long. Suddenly it became a wonderfully chaotic chronicle of an incredible time in music and beyond. No straightforward timeline here. Dylan jumps around and skips a few steps, but in the end the insertion of the Oh Mercy sessions into the mix absolutely fits - and gives one a greater appreciation of his journey and that album. It is a magnificent reminder of his genius - and of his unique take on the world. If you are a Dylan fan, it is a must read.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I'm biased because I'm a huge Bob fan. They say it will have another two volumes. I'd read another twenty volumes about his fascinating life.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Good book for a Dylan fan. It was written very much like a lot of his liner notes. It was interesting to hear him talk about how some of the recent albums came together but I was most interested in his early days.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Dylan hasn't made a truly satisfactory album since 1966. Despite the reviews, this book doesn't indicate that he's belatedly recovered his muse via a new medium. Better than Tarantula, I s'pose.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5So much better than you expect it's going to be. It loses its way a bit later on (especially in the episode about recording with Daniel Lanois, which is heavy with studio squabbles), but the opening section about arriving in New York is fascinating and thrilling.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5At his best Dylan's prose is lucid and lovely. At times, however, I haven't a clue what he's talking about. Much like his songwriting. For example, what the hell is he getting at when he relates the incident in which a guy named Robert Zimmerman is killed on a motorcycle in California? He goes so far as to stress his point - whatever it is - by saying something like, "You can check it out for yourself if you don't believe me." Huh? That aside, Dylan was and always will be one fascinating feller. And it's a pretty darn readable book.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5It's the surreal tangents and the anecdotal glimpses into Dylan's humility that I most love in this book. The mini-essay on Thucydides that goes on for several pages, the observations on Machiavelli (and where he went wrong), and the description of how - during the recording of Oh Mercy - he worried that he was stretching producer Daniel Lanois' patience and asked him, "Are we still friends, Danny?"
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5enjoyed it. i think he dictated it in a series of interviews. it's fair to say just about anything dylan does is interesting. i liked the way little of it seemed to be about him and a lot about what was going on around him at the time. a gemini trait no doubt. wasn't really what i expected. for his life story you'll have to ask someone else, he's too busy living it to write it.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5I love Bob Dylan. This is an amazing memoir, whether or not you're a big fan of the music.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Amazing insights into the creative processes.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This book is rich with references and lesson in American history and pop culture and literature. Bob Dylan may not be formally educated, but his depth of knowledge is fascinating. From this book I learned that Bob Dylan is a down-to-earth man who, during his life and career, just wanted to play his music. Nothing more, nothing less. I also learned that Spike Lee's father was a professional bass player.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Deep cold winter days, deep dark summer nights.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Fun but scattered bio. Jumps around in time.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Pus a half star. I enjoyed the book more as I went along, and the more I read the better I liked the early parts. I enjoyed the voice of the author and either he kept diaries or he has a cutting memory or a lot of it is more poetry than autobiography. I think the writing is great and fits the subject. One thing is certain - he was very young when he hit New York and it gave me a feel for his toughness and vulnerability.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Bob Dylan is perhaps the best popular American songwriter/poet in the past century. Dylan, as he admits in this memoir/autobiography, was not the best student in high school, but he taught himself how to write by imitating the lyrical and musical work of the best folk artists of the day.
Although Dylan is known for his social conscience, in this work, he eschews that he ever aspired to dabble in contemporary politics. He claims - over and over - that he only wanted to be a true folk artist. Although he was popularly known for running away from the public spotlight, he claims that the press forced him to live this life. In so doing, he claims his persona is false - or at the very least, misguided.
Dylan would not be the first artist to claim that popularity hurt his/her life. I'm sure there is a solid nugget of truth in that claim. Nonetheless, Dylan appears to have nurtured this persona in his public portrayal of himself in pursuit of his artistic vision.
Either way, Dylan's passion for songwriting comes through in this work. Most of this book dwells upon how Dylan's unique and brilliant style came about through the deep study of others' poetry and lyrics. Songwriters and poets will find it well worth the time to read, muse, and develop their own styles from Dylan's brilliance. - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Really interesting with lots of facets of Dylan's life. He was quite the family man and wasn't all that happy in Woodstock. Who knew he owned a sailboat and sailed the Caribbean with his family.
