There are no books upon your shelf (Bob Dylan "one more cup of cofee")

Pop and rock, however, represent, derive their names from popular culture. Cinema, art was considered low in its early stages, has already escaped since that time.  

More than half a century has passed and folk, blues, and Rock emerged, grew and grew, and they still insulted, because they belong to the masses, to the public, without partitions that are determined at the university, an important division between the poor and the rich.

I was about 14th. years old when I collected my first Dylan Vinyl album “Desire”.

My father told me that Dylan is not much about music and melody. It’s just the lyrics that really matters and by the way, he mostly took major of his songs from the famous folk singer Woody Guthrie. 

Who ? What ? Haa.. Ummm..I was nodded my head. The chords are also simple so you can't get much from it.

So called, serious music for many years used to be mostly considered to be Classic and nothing serious can come out from listing to the Beatles, Stones, Muddy waters, Bruce Springsteen or Dylan.Rock & Roll consider fun. It's for the mass audiences.

Dylan Album “Desire” (1975) was one of Dylan's most collaborative efforts, featuring the same caravan of musicians as the acclaimed Rolling Thunder Revue tours the previous year.

Most of the album was co-written by Jacques Levy, and is composed of lengthy story-songs, two of which quickly generated controversy: The 11-minute-long "Joey", which is seen as glorifying the violent gangster "Crazy Joey" Gallo, and "Hurricane", the opening track that tells a passionate account of the murder case against boxer Rubin Carter, whom the song asserts was framed.

Carter was released in 1985 after a judge overturned his conviction on appeal. I am not sure there is any song that was ever written which released anyone from jail. From here on, Dylan spectacular poetic journey of the coming 20 years with few crisis on his longer career during the mid 80th all stand out as true masterpiece albums as: "Blood on the tracks" (1974), "Desire" (1975) and Slow Train coming "(1979) infidels (1983) , Ohh Mercy (1989), Time out of Mind (1996)

Ohh Mercy is a masterpiece literature album with endless songs as writing and recording the album recorded memoir smallest detail, in very exceptional Dylan, call recalcitrant stubborn when it comes to the songs.

Bob Dylan with Muhammad Ali : Muhammad Ali visited Dylan backstage when the tour reached Madison Square Garden.

It has the rare gems power as "where it brings tears", "rang the bells are", "the man long black coat", "most of the time" and Star Fall ", which transcend poetry and lyrics to his new heights of beauty and uniqueness.

These albums musically demonstrated great power in writing and performing styles. At the same time, Dylan greatly improves its poetic expression. 

Bob Dylan, not only influenced by poets but also singers and musicians, black and white, mostly working-class. 

He wanted to make the world, and the country, to a better place, safer and more justice. He believed, even as a boy, that words are capable of change, even slightly, mood and thought, if only listen to them, to stop wars and prevent the ones to come.

Innocent, as it may seem so, was it to convince. Still. So what if the politicians and leaders do not care. Contrary to what many said so, and others say today, Dylan's songs are also separately, without melody.

Terms them on paper - as a short story, poem, novella, novel. Open book, never closed. No need footnotes to figure out who's who, what and where. 

This is the private history, nationally and internationally of disappointments and successes, achievements and missed opportunities. Too many wars and there is no peace, no justice. Will never be. For it must always continue to struggle.

Dylan got the blues and folk to rock, with no distinction between genres or instruments that accompanied them.

Times are changed, and if they had a part in this. Musicians and singers suddenly began to write protest songs, courageous, sober, not just songs about romance moment of adolescence, sung by car and forgotten almost immediately afterward.

They want to make a difference, like him, not only to be affected. They are understood to be believed as they are more serious.

55 years ago, when he appeared for the first time at Carnegie Hall, only a few people came to watch it, listen to it. Four years later There have been major newspapers in the United States who defined it as the greatest writers in America. 

The man denies definition voice of a generation will continue to serve as a voice for future generations to come after him. This is a clear voice, strong and determined, hurts his punches. It was rare when it was first heard. It is even rarer nowadays.
