Growing up, Bob Dylan was definitely one of my idols. In High School I did a paper on Woody Guthrie (his idol) and protest music and when I first started to learn the guitar I learned how to play Knocking on Heaven’s Door and Blowing in the Wind. All along the watchtower came shortly after...
Last month marked the opening of Bob Dylan’s American Journey, 1956-1966 at The Morgan Library & Museum. The exhibit, organized by the Experience Music Project from Seattle, is a collection of manuscripts, memorabilia, records, liner notes, unreleased songs, photographs and interviews of the rock legend. The exhibition traces Bob Dylan’s beginnings in Minnesota when he was still named Robert Zimmerman to his evolution to Bob Dylan, inspired by Woody Guthrie, in New York to his recordings and travels to London. Viewing and listening stations are included to listen and watch live and studio performances and interviews. The exhibition does an amazing job of taking you through the beginnings of one of the most important and influential song writers of our time and maybe ever. It is highly recommended to visit! The show goes on through January 6th, 2007.
Recently reopened and renovated by Renzo Piano the Pierpont Morgan Library was first opened to the public in 1924 by J.P. Morgan Jr. as a memorial to his father. For more information on the Morgan Library and its recent expansion read about it on the "Press" website.
