So earlier I mentioned if anyone had a concert experience that still hold memories for you. I had attended a Bob Dylan concert at the Gardens back in 2008. I was quite young to remember his music but as years went by I started listening to some of his many hits.
For those that may not be familiar with his work his career began in the early 1960s in New York City, where he became a prominent figure in the folk music scene1. His early songs, such as “Blowin’ in the Wind” and “The Times They Are A-Changin’,” became anthems for the civil rights and anti-war movements. In 1965, Dylan famously transitioned from acoustic folk to electric rock, a move that was both controversial and groundbreaking.
Over his six-decade career, Dylan has released numerous influential albums, including “Highway 61 Revisited,” “Blonde on Blonde,” and "Blood on the Tracks". He has written over 500 songs, many of which have been covered by a wide range of artists. In 2016, Dylan was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature for his contributions to music and songwriting.
Dylan’s lyrics often addressed social issues, resonating with the rebellious youth of the era who were seeking change and questioning mainstream values.
His influence extended beyond music; Dylan’s work inspired a generation to think critically about social justice and personal freedom. He is often seen as a voice of his generation, capturing the spirit and struggles of the 1960s.
It was a memorable night and a topic of conversation among friends for days and months and I think that his music can be influential in today's chaotic world, what with civil war in Ukraine and the middle east, his message of peace and change would be relevant to change peoples way of thinking about themselves and the global world.
FYI:
If you are looking for something to do to celebrate Halloween check out Mistys 50's October 26th where they will have Cameron Oliver performing from 4-8 pm Cameron is a member of Soundcheck and covers different genres of music. Lots of prizes to be won.
Until next time stay tuned, stay safe and be kind.
