Summary

Bob Dylan: Philosophy of Modern Song

"Dylan's understanding of philosophy is at least as special as his taste in music, which makes this book completely unique in the vast body of literature dealing with popular music. The author of Philosophy of Modern Song has chosen sixty-six songs that he considers crucial for various reasons to show the diversity and to see the essence of the musical context to which they belong. It is not, therefore, any selection of the best, most influential or some other way of superlatively certain songs, but a selection of those that Bob Dylan singles out as personally the most significant according to some unfathomable criteria. Therefore, the final list of these easy pieces is unusual to say the least: among their performers are seemingly incompatible interpreters such as Judy Garland and The Clash, Bing Crosby and Elvis Costello, Domenico Modunjo and The Allman Brothers Band - while on the other hand, there are neither the Beatles, nor the Stones, nor many others who by default represent "required reading". For Dylan, however, nothing is incompatible and nothing is mandatory - which is very clearly shown by the texts dedicated to the selected songs, one by one. The most interesting and literary most successful of them are those parts in which Dylan enters the character of the storyteller or the main character of the poem, and from the inside interprets what it is really about, with prose statements that, partly in the footsteps of his Tarantula, mostly resemble stream-of-consciousness modernist prose. In others, again, he conducts a conversation with the characters from the poems, argues with them, admires them or reproaches them for something, teaches them about life or learns from them. And occasionally he even turns into a fairly conventional essayist, generously showering us with interesting information about the songs and insightful analyzes of the cultural context of their creation. Bob Dylan is also a lucid, unpredictable and completely unique author in his essays."
