FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description 2021 marks Bob Dylans 80th birthday and his 60th year in the music world. It invites us to look back on his career and the multitudes that it contains. Is he a song and dance man? A political hero? A protest singer? A self-portrait artist who has yet to paint his masterpiece? Is he Shakespeare in the alley? The greatest living exponent of American music? An ironsmith? Internet radio DJ? Poet (who knows it)? Is he a spiritual and religious parking meter? Judas? The voice of a generation or a false prophet, jokerman, and thief?

Read it on your toaster! Author Biography Gary Browning is a Professor of Political Thought at Oxford Brookes University. He is the author of many books, including Why Iris Murdoch Matters (Bloomsbury, 2018) and A History of Modern Political Thought: The Question of Interpretation (OUP, 2016), and is co-editor of The Political Art of Bob Dylan. His interest in Bob Dylan goes back to the release of The Freewheelin Bob Dylan, when he realised that popular music was a serious business.Constantine Sandis thought of Dylan as a hippy you couldnt trust until – when he was about 16 years old – his friend Mahmoud Kassem showed him the cover of Highway 61 Revisited and convinced him that Zimmy was a punk at heart. Four years later, Joan Baez kissed him at a concert in Rome. Constantine is now Professor of Philosophy at the University of Hertfordshire and a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts. When not tweeting as @csandis he writes books such as The Things We Do and Why We Do Them (2012) and Character and Causation (2018). Review "Dylan at 80 often reflects many facets of the (Zimmer)man and deserves to find a place on his fans bookshelves." -- Michael Heatley * Record Collector *"...this is not the ordinary Bob Dylan book with tiresome retellings of his hobo youth, the folk singer turned electric... and so on. Instead, it is a book with interesting and eye-opening essays by people from a wide range of professions... The book offers an amazing collection of essays - brilliantly assembled by the editors... [It] spreads like wildfire in all directions, and it is a very satisfying read... It will definitely have its place in my collection of must-have books." -- Kent Wennman * Iris Murdoch Review * Long Description 2021 marks Bob Dylans 80th birthday and his 60th year in the music world.
