Falling one more step behind with a tendency to recycle history, afraid of our own products- appeared an illusion of inspiration on 2.13.2011. Bob Dylan, singing a song older than the audience at the Grammys.
Grey as a goose with a 10-second harmonica solo and 30 desperate band dudes behind him thinking that music has kept its honesty (because there at the Grammys) Dylans coffin had been laid out, for us.
In 1965 Dylan first played “Maggies Farm”, which is track 3 off of the album “Bringing It All Back Home”. In 2011, How far are we to push history with its most effective representations, such as music, and copy and paste it into our present day?
Bob Dylan or Justin Beiber? That was probably the most difficult question.Dylan was a folk singer, now he’s almost a pop singer. If anything he should have sung “It Aint me Babe”. He should have his own historian.
Unlike the 1980 act, the 2011 performance ultimately killed him, and in the same manner American culture killed James Brown, after he was actually dead.
I believe that in 2030, the Grammys will look like marquees of all great musicians sons and daughters, singing songs on behalf of their parents.
Besides, Bob Dylan was probably nominated to play at the Grammys through a search through the data mines- for youth’s most popular artist, which would make sense.
