BOB DYLAN LIVE
Heres a great article from Graley Herren over at Flaggin Down The Double Es the site that covers articles and writing and recordings of Dylan live
Really worth a read this one . . . . . . . . .
We’ve got a special guest piece today by Graley Herren. Herren is a Professor of English at Xavier University and author of a number of books, most recently Dreams and Dialogues in Dylan’s Time Out of Mind (the paperback version just came out last month).
He’s currently working on a book called Dylan in Cincinnati, a study of Dylan’s many concerts in Cincinnati over the years. It won’t be out for a while yet, but he was kind enough to offer an early excerpt tied to Dylan’s 1981 gospel-era shows at Cincinnati Music Hall. So without further ado I’ll turn it over to Prof. Herren!
"I want to thank you, Cincinnati. Was there a place in Cincinnati called . . . what was it called? Ollie’s Trolley? Something like that? Do they still have that here? I wrote a song there one time, sitting in Ollie’s Trolley. Can’t remember exactly when. But I do remember where. It was in Ollie’s Trolley." Bob in Cincinnati 1981
