on Monday, November 22, 2004:Dylan Performs
for Sold-Out CrowdBy KATHERINE CHAN
Harvard Crimson Contributing WriterShouts of “Make way! Moses is here!” filled a restless crowd as
legendary musician Bob Dylan closed off his College tour last night
jamming in front of a sold out audience of Harvard undergraduates and
Cambridge residents….The turnout for last night’s two-hour show was greater than many of the
student audience members anticipated…But despite the legendary hits and massive crowds, several students said they were disappointed with the show.
“I love Bob Dylan. I just don’t know what he’s saying,” said Alexander A.C. De Carvalho ’08.
From an entry of October 29, 2004:
“Each epoch has its singer.”
– Jack London, Oakland, California, 1901“Anything
but the void. And so we keep hoping to luck into a winning combination,
to tap into a subtle harmony, trying like lock pickers to negotiate a
compromise with the ‘mystery tramp,’ as Bob Dylan put it….”
– Dennis Overbye, Quantum Baseball,
New York Times, Oct. 26, 2004“You said you’d never compromise
With the mystery tramp,
but now you realizeHe’s not selling any alibis
As you stare into
the vacuum of his eyesAnd ask him do you want to
make a deal?”– Bob Dylan, Like a Rolling Stone
From The New York Times today:
“It’s official, I guess. Forty years after he recorded it, Bob Dylan’s
‘Like a Rolling Stone’ was just named the greatest rock ‘n’ roll song
of all time….”
