Reviews
"Hero of the counterculture and establishment darling, the multiple meanings of Bob Dylan's varied life and career signify the contours and contradictions of the 1960s generation Dylan so adeptly represented. Though Dylan's Nobel Prize victory catapulted him into further legendary status, even as his capitalistic collaborations compromised his subversive status, his refusal to attend the ceremony continued his 'I'm not there' persona of an artist simultaneously embracing by while rejecting a transnational mainstream political culture all eager to accept his resistant spirit from a distance."
