review ''Chronicles I'' autobiography of Bob Dylan (no joke)


This book segment was made with more than one part of the chronicles.

I read the first.

At the psychiatry.

Many years ago.

Bob Dylan (Robert Zimmerman) is a better songwriter and guitar player than novelist.

It was quite boring. Then again I find most books boring. And I was not feeling that good. I would surely read it with new, eyes and ears, if I read it again.

Here is what I remember though.

He was at a frat house, don't think he was attending it - at a university in Minnesota. He didn't like it.

He got his breakthroughs at Greenwich Village in New York.

And spent large times thanking everybody, quite boring.

There was the touring with the Grateful Dead when they slipped something in to his drink, or he thinks they may have, and that was a turnaround point for him in developing a new style.

Yeah later I learned of his amphetamine-consumption, he does mention in the book, do people expect me to stand there with a hand of amphetamines when they knock on the door? No.

It ends something ''...but the devil didn't do it either'', clearly he has faith, and he does mention the birth of the Slow Train Coming  album that someone throws a cross onto the stage, and he is lost at this point in his life... and turns to Christianity.

I don't really remember much more.
