A Theory 2: More Bob, More Dill In
Man gave names to all the animals. Bob gave codes, metaphors, and motiffs to reveal his narrative and intentions.
In reference to my "Bob Dill In: A Theory" post. (Yes this is long winded, you're welcome for the free content)
Fair enough fam, lol. While I'm familiar with the quasi-nihilistic meme culture of the internet and surely realize everybody must get stoned, I admittedly expected Expecting Rain, Steve Hoffman, and Reddit Dylan fans would welcome any and all good faith community engagement. The whole world is full of speculation. Why waste a fly's shit of time making unconstructive thread-craps? Is an alternative perspective responsibly stated as speculative fan theory not refreshing, no matter how oddly it strained credulity?
I'm no writer and though my post was in good faith and, rationally considered over years, it was certainly not as adequately prepared nor as concisely stated a thesis as the matter deserved. Please kindly consider this 34 yr. old American gringo of latino heritage wittled that after a shite Amazon dsp shift and a few Cinco de Mayo margaritas. ;)
Anywho... I've decided to further research and write a book exploring these Dylan interpretations. It's consistency suggests an accuracy. I'll elaborate further on YouTube. With Twain, Shakespeare, DaVinci, Kubrick we are encouraged to analyze the artist's deeper intentions and motivations. Why not Bob Dylan?
"Something's happening here and you don't know what it is" is his modus operandi. He delights in confounding and subverting expections.
Before I beg your time's pardon and blue skidoo on out the open window, some final thoughts...
I'm indeed a fan but hardly an obsessive. I don't post here and I've only been to 4 shows in Tennessee, Georgia, Mississippi, and Kentucky, plus my first: a magnificent, intense front row experience with eye contact galore at Palo Alto, 2019.
I'm of the apparently rare opinion he's a hip, sharp 84 year old who would conceivably be interested in your posts here at ER, Reddit, and the SH forums. The possibility certainly exists he occassionally browses, let alone clandestinely participates with ease. So, just in case he does stumble onto this:
"Please don' t let me be misunderstood"
My sincerest bravo again, Zimmy. I hope my interpretations of your work are on the right track and don't irritate you or make you uncomfortable. Thanks for everything and Godspeed.
"What good am I if I know and don't do, If I see and don't say, if I look right through you?""
p.s. raRoger Waters says to tell you thank you for him at the end of his latest release.
I'll just leave this week's draft notes here for the curious.
Regards, all
(Reading Part 1 will help)
Kindly consider applying the following perspectives when next listening to Dylan. It's consistency suggests an accuracy.
"Arise, arise, he cried so loud In a voice without restraint Come out, ye gifted kings and queens And hear my sad complaint No martyr is among ye now Whom you can call your own So go on your way accordingly But know you're not alone." (St. Augustine)
-JFK trauma
-Underground Railroad-esque code, word games, and trickery
the Dylan/ Zimmy/ Anima split narrative
The events of "Empire Burlesque/ Knocked Out Low Dead/ Down In The Grave/ Oh Mercy/ Frankie and Albert/ TOOM/ Tin Angel* hint the 3 personalities get contentious for control, direction, and redemption. ("You and me we had completeness/ I can finish this alone, honey- Driftin/ Shore) "There's voices in the Knight trying to be heard, sitting here listening to every mind-polluting word. (Million Miles)
-Every public appearance, interview, award ceremony is a Kaufman-esque performance art sketch.
-All songs are in same universe and can reference each other.
-He sings to the mirror, his peers, and the Powers That Be
-Every album is brilliant and worthwhile, prioritizing vision. Production/ song aesthetic reflect his criticisms and appreciations for those genres. Each phase seemingly reflects American culture/ current administrations/ the narrative's themes. He wasn't trying to write Big Girl, Hard Rain, Tambourine Man and failed. It was always intentionally with cheek firmly planted in cheek.
Gospel years are Gonzo, Kaufman, Pink Floyd "The Wall" esque thheater/performance art where searching for meaning is challenged by false believers, hypocrites, strange beliefs, manipulation, deceit. (Aint Gonna, Gotta serve, In The Garden, When He Returns, Slow Train) "Never could learn to drink that blood and call it wine." "I can manipulate people as well as anybody." "Don't let an egg get layed in there by something you can't see..." Hope the God(s) go easy on me (Give Myself To You) You can mislead a man take a hold of heart with eyes (Gonna Change Thinkin)
The narration from "You're No Good" to "See Error's Theme" is Dylan's perspective, the reverse is Zimmerman's. (Time is going backwards, (Ring Them Bells) Is the whole thing going backwards(What Was It You Wanted) So much older then, (My Back Pages) Turnin back the years (My Own Version of You)). Maybe vice versa, but a reverse narrative is perceivable .
Rough and Rowdy Ways cover shows the Creator, Zimmerman, and his anima/female persona in back left. The Bob Dylan character stands at oft mentioned jukebox, the two dancers from the Oh Mercy cover (Frankie and Albert?) in the center. It excentuates how the Lady in yellow has a full behind/ Dylan/ Tramp does not. All night cafe, heaven/ hell/ limbo/ the setting of important events between Knocked Out Low Dead/Down In The Grave and Oh Mercy where Dylan kills Zimmerman and Zimmerman kills Dylan. (Cover art, Six feet from the well, poison headaches, repeated references to Frankie and Albert character in Nettie Moore, Man in Black Coat's old dance hall/ GAIBTY, Shooting Star,Death Is Not End, Something dead men know in Silvio, Tin Angel). Rough and Rowdy tour sets repeat for second cycle of 3 years, reflecting not just how he can rearrange the songs/ emphasize different lyrics to change the same songs, but also reflecting how the working class enable authority to serve us the same slop over and over again (Biden/Trump) by voting with our wallets/ attendence. Ends the tour in Abilene. (Enabling)
