Recalling his first professional music job, Bob says:
"I never thought I would shoot lightning through the sky in the entertainment world."
In 1959, in Central City, Colorado, he had that first job, in rough and tumble striptease joint.
"I was onstage for just a few minutes with my folk songs. Then the strippers would come on. The crowd would yell for more stripping, but they went off, and I'd come bouncing back with my folky songs. As the night got longer, the air got heavier, the audience got drunker and nastier, and I got sicker and finally I got fired."
OK... let's call Bob Dylan, and ask him!!
In the meantime......
did anyone answer the new question, from above......
What Paul Simon song asks "Is the theatre really dead?"?
P and L
I know the song (dangling conversations, and the superficial smiles, the borders of our lives, etc) but damned if I can remember the title. I did hear or read Simon saying he was now embarrassed by the lyrics in this song.
I don't want to call Dylan a liar. Since I haven't any way to verify the tale of the strip joint I don't know what to say. I do know he used to make up tales about himself to sound more colorful. Every source I personally found pointed to NY. I will go along with the rest of you on how to resolve this. What do ya say?
I answered "Dangling Conversations" earlier. I always liked the Joan Baez version.
Ooops..... I must have missed the answer to "The Dangling Conversation"
edgar..... you get to ask the next question......
I'm going to get jespah and fishin' in here to lock this topic if you people can't be more civil to one another... :wink:
the name of the Bar in Central City was the Gilded Garter and after he was fired from there he hung out at a club where i used to go in Denver called the Exodus Club which is also where Judy Collins often played as a teenager and living in Boulder Colorado.
summer - Dylan spends a brief time in Denver, Colorado, but is generally ostracized by the folk community there. Of note, however, is a short stint at The Gilded Garter, a frontier salloon-like tourist trap in nearby Central City. Dylan would later romanticize this booking as his gig at the "bulesque house". He returned to Minneapolis shortly thereafter
I thought Chubby Checker did Blueberry Hill?
Q: Who said, upon being inducted to the Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame......"We've been rewarded for
twenty years of bad behaviour."
I found edgar's New Question, above.....
Question..... song not used in Midnight Cowboy.....
Answer..... Bob Dylan's "Lay Lady Lay"
New Question......
What hotel is mentioned in Joni Mitchell's "Raised On Robbery"?
I declare that I believe dyslexia after much reflection. He probably had the call to ask another question.
Lay Lady Lay was correct, by the way.
thanks edgarblythe i feel redeemed: what was the first film that featured a sound track by Pink Floyd?
Hi dyslexia.... is the answer to the Pink Floyd question.... "San Francisco"?
