He'd retreated to Nashville to learn from country music, and to upstate New York to woodshed with musicians who loved old hokum and parlor ballads as much as he did. He was absolutely done with fitting into other people's categories. This music is perfect for a 21st century in which taste hierarchies are fast dissolving and everybody realizes that there never was a pure "folk" or "country" or "blues" or anything, only massive borrowing and boundary-crossing and fruitful playing around.īy 1970, Dylan was ready for a new game. Yet Dylan's efforts from these years - highlighted on the latest in his ongoing Bootleg Series, titled Another Self Portrait (1969-1971), out August 27 - now seem prescient. Nowhere is Dylan's ability to see the whole patchwork tapestry of our musical culture more evident than in the music he made in the very early 1970s, when he was running from his own burdensome greatness and jumping into the great scrap heap of American musical tradition.ĭuring this period, Dylan produced one album, Self Portrait, that landed like a wet blanket and another, New Morning, that only partially redeemed the reputation he'd seemed so eager to escape. ![]() ![]() Dylan's music, from the magpie folk of his early years to the historically conscious balladry of his current albums, has always reminded us that our legacy includes not just ennobling beauty, but also minstrelsy, dirty blues, sentimental sappiness and rama-lama-ding-dong. "I never looked at songs as 'good' or 'bad,' only different kinds of good ones," he once said. If Bob Dylan's long career as a genius of the American spirit has taught us anything, it's that one fan's trash is another one's treasure. A new collection, Another Self Portrait (1969-1971), comes out August 27.

Which brings us to our March Madness 2013 clash between Frost and Blake. ![]() Frost took a trip to England in 1913 and got lucky. If you wanted to be a famous poet in the 20th century, you had to meet one person: Pound. ![]() If you haven’t heard of the Dymock Poets, it’s probably because Pound didn’t like them. But Pound got Frost into Poetry, and a star was born. The Dymock Poets-their 100th anniversary, as well, a group decimated by the First World War (England was now finally our friend and hating on Germany) helped Frost, too. It is the 50th anniversary of Frost’s death and the 100th anniversary of the publication of Frost’s first book, his trip to England as an unknown poet, and the discovery of Frost by another crank, Ezra Pound, who happened to be another States’ rights loon. In other words, Robert Frost was the heir to the States’ rights politics which almost doomed the United States in the “Third War of American Independence.” Frost turned New England crankiness into American Poetry gold. If Blake was a typically English radical: too crazy/clever to be a danger to anyone, Robert Frost was the son of a San Francisco politician-(Democrat all the way) who tried to enlist to fight for the South in the Civil War (but was too young). The complexities of U.S./British geopolitics was far beyond the Blake of “Thou art the image of God who dwells in darkness of Africa” and yet Blake was no doubt writing in code to avoid being tossed into a British prison. This is not to knock Blake’s genius, but he was a loon, and the American experiment to him probably meant “free love” more than anything else. But with William “howling pains” Blake, no one really knows. Civil War, fifty-two years later, or it might have something to do with the War of 1812, as well. “A Serpent in Canada” recalls the network that produced the actions of John Wilkes-Booth in the “Third War of American Independence,” the U.S. This is eternal death, and this the torment long foretold.’ Mingle in howling pains, in furrows by thy lightnings rent.

Blake’s first illuminated book of poems was called “America, A Prophecy.”īlake was a radical freak, hated by the British establishment, but the Americans struggling against the oppressive British Empire were never able to figure out what Willie Blake was saying when he wrote about America. William Blake, like many English Romantic poets, such as Coleridge, Southey, and Keats, took a great interest in what was happening in America. Vast designs always trump the politically correct. In this “Second War of American Independence,” the British Empire failed to take back her American colony, even as she tried to do so, cynically using its native peoples. ![]() This year marks the 200th anniversary of America’s 1813 defeat of Great Britain and their American Indian allies for the control of the Great Lakes region in the War of 1812.
