The book begins in Berkeley in 1968, and ends with a piece on Dylan’s show at the University of Minnesotahis very first appearance at his alma materon election night 2008. Marcus follows not only recordings but performances, books, movies, and all manner of highways and byways in which Bob Dylan has made himself felt in our culture. In between are moments of euphoric discovery: From Marcus’s liner notes for the 1967 Basement Tapes (pop music’s most famous bootlegged archives) to his exploration of Dylan’s reimagining of the American experience in the 1997 Time Out of Mind.

See, for an absurd ex. I'm Not Afraid of Arthur This is a collection of articles by Marcus in his role of self-appointed arbiter of American culture in the second half of the 20th century. While many deal directly with Dylan's work, a significant number mention it only in passing. It seems anything the author wrote that included the word "Dylan" even once was a candidate for inclusion.As a result, much of the material doesn't rise above tangential musing from the perspective of a Dylan fan. Marcus skips about from subject to subject as he casts his anthropological net far and wide.Here'

It's not all fawning praise however, and Marcus not only includes his in-depth New York
