At the American Writers Museum in Chicago, there is an
exhibit currently showing, “Bob Dylan: Electric.” The exhibit opened on
November 16, 2018, and is set to run until April 30.
According to The
Chicago Tribune:
AWM president Carey
Cranston described the exhibit as “a first-of-its-kind experience,” adding the
museum “is honored to present one of music’s most iconic instruments together
with a unique collection of musical, literary, and cultural artifacts.”
“The world knows Bob
Dylan as a prolific songwriter,” he continued. “’Bob Dylan: Electric’ gives the
public a chance to see how his writing shaped more than just American music but
American literature as a whole.”
You can read the entire Tribune article, “Exhibit looks at
how Bob Dylan 'going electric' influenced American culture, music and
literature” here.
I have not had the good fortune to go to Chicago to see “Bob
Dylan: Electric,” but Dylan fan Steve Meyers posted a fascinating quote on the Facebook
page “Dylanology” after he toured the exhibit:
