Sixty years ago today, some well-known photos of electric-era Bob Dylan were shot at the Blonde on Blonde sessions for Fender guitars. Turns out there was a funny backstory (Bob was NOT happy so he posed with the wrong instrument in protest). An interview with someone who was there in the newsletter

Mike Bloomfield writing about Bob Dylan in Hit Parader, June 1968

"He's always scribbling little things on paper. His brain is so alive. You can almost see electricity pulsing out of his eyes. I sure would like to be his friend again."

The truth is his songwriting isn’t even one of the 5 most interesting or impressive things about Bob Dylan.

How can a fresh performance of a 58 year old song be this good?

This is a *spectacular* collection of live Bob Dylan, and the fact that it’s all from this year is just beyond comprehension. This is the band’s set as much as Dylan’s which is saying a LOT. Amazing work as always by @benn-e-boy.bsky.social Seek this out.

Bob Dylan played his final show of 2025 last night in Dublin.
@definitelydylan.bsky.social reports in:

"From the beginning, his vocals were an immediate and commanding presence in the room… Sometimes it really feels like his voice has aged backwards over the past decade or two."

Agree with this. Hitchcock and a full band were wonderful. Powerful catalog and show.
