Summary: Another Side of Bob Dylan
Review: Let's face it: Bob can be a jerk to his fans. But then again, it's got to be hell being accosted by obsessive fans everywhere you go. If you've read some of the Dylan biographies out there you have an idea of Dylan's life and work. This book gives you a glimpse into what it's like to be a Dylan fan. Some of the accounts are more engaging than others and some don't even involve meeting Dylan at all. I wish they'd left those out... Anyway, this is interesting but very brief. You can read the whole thing in a day and I think there are just as many stories out there (for free) on the internet at the many Dylan sites.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Song and Dance Man
Review: Ms. Johnson has done a wonderful job in illustrating the fanatic nature of Dylan's fans combined with the reclusive nature of their hero. As the lights have burned ever brightly on Dylan in the latter stages of his career, Bob has increasingly receded into the shadows, content to let his son Jabob bask in the spotlight for the family. This book, though, shows the connection that Dylan's fans still feel towards him, whether they have met him or just been touched by him in some small way. I especially enjoyed the story of the young man who had Dylan autograph his tattoo of Bob's likeness.

Whether you are a Dylan fanatic or just a reader who enjoys touching anecdotes, this book is for you. It is refreshing to see that not every entertainment star has forgotten that it is the fans that make or break your career. Buy the book. You'll love it.

Summary: Meeting Bob vicarously through others
Review: This book helps the Bob Dylan fan to feel just a little bit closer to getting to know him. The personal stories from others who have known or met him brought him back alive in my heart. I played his albums in the background while embracing the stories and gazing at all the great photos. It couldn't have come at a better time, Bob's playing in Nampa, ID next month (and yes, I got tickets)! I'm drop shipping a copy to all the Dylan fans I know!
