BOB SPEAKS TO THE CROWD

BOB SPEAKS TO THE CROWD  5 diciembre 1979Albuquerque NM  Dylan: "Well, you know we're living now in the end times. I don't think there's anybody here who doesn't feel that in their heart. Scripture says, "in the last days, perilous times shall be at hand. Men shall become lovers of their own selves." Blasphemous, heavy, and high-minded. Now, I don't know who you're gonna vote for, but none of those people is gonna straighten out what's happening in the world now. You know what's happening right now, when you look at the Middle East? They're headed for a war. That's right, they're headed for war. There's gonna be war over there. I'd say maybe five years, maybe ten years, could fifteeen years, I don't know, but remember I told you right here.I told you "The Times They Are A-Changing" and they did. I said the answer was "Blowing In The Wind" and it was. And I'm saying to you now, Jesus is coming back, and he is. There is no other way to salvation. I know around here you've got a lot of different spiritual things. You've got a lot of gurus, I know you do. You've got a lot of people just putting a mess on you in all kinds of ways. You don't even know which way to believe. There's only one way to believe. There's only one way, the truth and the light. It took me a long time to figure that out before it did come to me. I hope it doesn’t take you that long. But Jesus is coming back to set up his kingdom in Jerusalem for a thousand years. I don't know if that's news to you, but I know you don't read it in the newspapers. But it's the truth. Alright. So don't you be worried now. Don't you be bothered by the events to come, because, if you're saved, you're saved. And if you're lost, you're lost."  

The Eye In The Bob Dylan Shows

The Eye In The Bob Dylan Shows The Eye represents the All-Seeing-Eye, which in mystical symbolism represents The Silent Watcher. In many of the organised religions and cults such as Egyptology, Masonry, etc., it represents, at lower levels, the one God watching over. In reality it is our own Inner God ... that which is connected to all life and not a force to be in abeyance to, other than within the boundaries of our evolution.

Therefore, the Eye represents Truth that is permanent and available within everyone. The Crown on top of the eye is a representation of attainment, and therefore the Mastership which is possible by consciously becoming The Silent Watcher and acknowledging its authority within, rather than as an external entity.

The Flame breaking from the Crown is the Enlightenment that occurs when spiritual direction is achieved and Truth can be seen as an event rather than a quality. When one understands, rather than knows intellectually ... the difference between wisdom and knowledge.

Bob Dylan's Concert--Provocative, Rewarding

Bob Dylan's Concert--Provocative, Rewarding Bob Dylan is a symbol of bitter-sweet criticism of the artificialities found in contemporary society.

Dylan is disarmingly honest, almost consistently dour and his songs seldom achieve any full unity of concept.

Like a jigsaw puzzle, many of the separate parts, and occasionally some of the combined pieces, are fascinating and obviously the product of a talented craftsman in imagery. But on none of Dylan's compositions is a full picture ever completed.

Dylan's songs are as unclassifiable as the costumes of his most devoted young admirers because uniformity and conformity are the antithesis of this restless and cynical generation's philosophy.

He doesn't really sing much either. It's mostly a shouting, wailing narrative, and his blank verse lyrics are as irregular as the charts and meters.

It isn't emotionally or physically easy to attend a Dylan concert but it's provocative and rewarding in a degree seldom found elsewhere in American artistic expression.
 Phil Elwood was the jazz critic for the San Francisco Examiner (and later the Chronicle) for more than 35 years.

Kierkegaard, The Story of Abraham and Bob Dylan

"And it came to pass after these things, that God did tempt Abraham, and said unto him.....Take thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest, and get thee into the land od Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which i will tell thee of."And Kierkegaard said : " Why doesn't some poet take up situations like these instead of the stuff and nonsense that fills comedies and novels?"And Bob Dylan did "Highway 61 "

There's an iron train a-travelin' that's been a-rollin' through the years,
With a firebox of hatred and a furnace full of fears.
If you ever heard its sound or seen its blood-red broken frame,
Then you heard my voice a-singin' and you know my name.

Did you ever stop to wonder 'bout the hatred that it holds?
Did you ever see its passengers, its crazy mixed-up souls?
Did you ever start a-thinkin' that you gotta stop that train?
Then you heard my voice a-singin' and you know my name.

Do you ever get tired of the preachin' sounds of fear
When they're hammered at your head and pounded in your ear?
Have you ever asked about it and not been answered plain?
Then you heard my voice a-singin' and you know my name.

I'm a-wonderin' if the leaders of the nations understand
This murder-minded world that they're leavin' in my hands.
Have you ever laid awake at night and wondered 'bout the same?
Then you heard my voice a-singin' and you know my name.

Have you ever had it on your lips or said it in your head
That the person standin' next to you just might be misled?
Does the raving of the maniacs make your insides go insane?
Then you've heard my voice a-singin' and you know my name.

Do the kill-crazy bandits and the haters get you down?
Does the preachin' and the politics spin your head around?
Does the burning of the buses give your heart a pain?
Then you heard my voice a-singin' and you know my name.

TREN EN MARCHA

   Hay un viejo tren de hierro viajando a través de los años,con una máquina de odio y un decorado lleno de miedos.Si alguna vez escuchaste su sonido o viste su  chasis rojo-sangre, Es que oíste mi voz cantar y conoces mi nombre. ¿Te paraste alguna vez a pensar sobre su carga de rencor?¿Vistes a sus pasajeros, esa confusa mezcla de almas?¿Nunca se te ocurrió pensar que tenías que parar ese tren? Entonces es que oíste mi voz cantar y conoces mi nombre. Me pregunto si los líderes de las naciones no ven el mundo asesino que están dejando en mis manos.¿ Has pasado mas de  una noche en vela pensando lo mismo? Entonces es que oíste mi voz cantar y conoces mi nombre. ¿Alguna vez tuviste la sensación o te dijiste a ti mismo,que la persona sentada junto a ti podría estar equivocada?¿ Te revuelve por dentro el rabiar de los maníacos? Entonces has escuchado mi voz cantar y conoces mi nombre ¿No te deprime tanto odio loco y asesino?¿No te marean tanta política y tanto sermón?¿Te rompe el corazón ver los vagones ardiendo? Entonces escuchaste mi voz cantar y conoces mi nombre. 

Hi There Friend

Hi there friend  Bob is going to be used and instrumentalized by our  social -nationalist politicians in their so called Peace Process here in the Basque Country, paying for his singing at a festival that the authorities will make free with the money of all. A false process and a false war. Spain gave a general amnesty in 1979 with the restoration of democracy to all, but the Basque terrorist - not freedom fighters- group ETA refused it. And for the next 30 years went alone killing over 800 inocent people with 5000 injured.Any kind of people have been killed, from women and children to retired military, from business men to simple politicians.At the same time, the Basque region enjoyed one of the most autonomous regime known in Europe with everything important transferred, from education to health care, from police to taxes. And now, with over 500 activists in prison, the band says it,s time to sit down and negotiate, but in no moment have we heard any single word of repent for their crimes, what’s more, political intimidation and monetary extortion goes on. But all this seems not important for our young and -self declared- "Red" new president,Zapatero who, we, the spanish people still doubt that he and his "red friends" from the Basque and Morocco countries had nothing to do with the Madrid 11th of march attacks.where 190 people died.And so,  now they think Bob will help them making believe that Peace is coming, just when the whole world has learned that Bob is not and never was , " a pacifist", but is the man who wrote the lyrics of "Man Of Peace" instead. And also the man to have said not many good things about patriotism itself. What an irony it is that the ones who have always hated Bob for his jewness and his americanism are now praising him.But his true followers know very well for whom his bells toll, for the victim that died two thousand years ago to save us all. The Victim, not the killer.
