Dylan put out an autobiography last year-- Chronicles. Not entirely accurate, but fascinating nonetheless. My father is a Dylan fan and loved this book.

You got me here!
There are many many books about him, but the truth is, it depends on what you want.
If your husband likes his writing style, the get him Tarantula or chronicles, if he wants a book written ON Dylan then there is the old Antony Scaduto Biografy, but since he plays guitar I would get him some good book with words/chords of his songs...nothing speaks better about him than his own words...

An AUTObiography is about one's self. No one else has a right to call into question the accuracy of one's own words about one's own self.

Greenfire, You are so funny....

Maybe "Everybody's Gotta Get Stoned" Bob Dylan perhaps fried a few brain cells in his day on weed: you know, in the "accuracy" region of his brain... Wink

Maybe...but I think that what he doesn't write it's what he doesn't WANT to write about... 8)

...and, sincerely, I so completely respect that Thumbs Up

I don't know what it is about the mentality of the masses towards the famous, but its as if every single detail must be disclosed...that just isn't right.

Hey...isn't that why we have an "amother" option on here Wink
