How Bob Dylan broke free

Published

“Bob Dylan didn’t have this to sing about/You know it feels good to be alive.” So sang the band Jesus Jones in 1990 in “Right Here, Right Now”, an anthem about the liberation of eastern Europe. It’s a lovely line, but of course it’s wrong about Mr Dylan. In 1990 he wasn’t even at the midpoint of his glorious career; you can buy tickets now for his Rough and Rowdy Ways Worldwide Tour this year. He did have the fall of the Berlin Wall to sing about. He just didn’t do it.
