He writes over sixty essays focusing       on songs by other artists, spanning from Stephen Foster to Elvis Costello, and       in between ranging from Hank Williams to Nina Simone. He analyzes what he       calls the trap of easy rhymes, breaks down how the addition of a single       syllable can diminish a song, and even explains how bluegrass relates to heavy       metal. These essays are written in Dylan?s unique prose. They are mysterious       and mercurial, poignant and profound, and often laugh-out-loud funny. And       while they are ostensibly about music, they are really meditations and       reflections on the human condition. Running throughout the book are nearly 150       carefully curated photos as well as a series of dream-like riffs that, taken       together, resemble an epic poem and add to the work?s transcendence.               The Philosophy of Modern Song | Hardcover       Bob Dylan       Simon & Schuster | Simon & Schuster       Music / Essays / Biography & Autobiography / Music / Personal Memoirs       Published Nov 1, 2022              Ciao!        /|ug         https://t.me/aabolins              --- Want fido for iOS/MacOS/Android/Win/Linux? https://shrtco.de/tpJ9yV        * Origin: Fido by Telegram BBS from Stas Mishchenkov (2:460/256)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 15/0 90/1 103/705 105/81 106/201 120/340 123/120 131       SEEN-BY: 124/5016 129/305 153/757 7715 203/0 218/840 220/70 221/0       SEEN-BY: 221/6 226/17 30 229/110 111 112 113 114 275 317 400 424 426       SEEN-BY: 229/428 470 664 700 240/1120 250/5 8 267/800 280/464 5003       SEEN-BY: 280/5555 282/1038 292/854 298/25 301/1 305/3 317/3 320/219       SEEN-BY: 322/757 341/66 234 396/45 423/120 460/58 256 1124 633/280       SEEN-BY: 712/848 770/1 100 340 772/210 220 230 2320/105 5054/30       PATH: 460/256 58 280/464 770/1 317/3 229/426           |
