Bob Dylan (2013), with the city councilor for culture, Stephano Boeri, for the exhibition of his paintings at the Royal Palace during a private visit to see the Castello Sforzesco which houses the Pieta Rondanini by Michelangelo. Before the Pieta, Dylan and Boeri visited “The Last Supper” by Leonardo da Vinci….
He’s never there. We know him well, we love to see him escape from old songs, from himself, from us, from the chase anyone, people or definitions, but we would like to say once and for all: we are not Chapman !! It is a game for us, we are not there to hold out ambushes (as he says in John Roll on, dedicated to the killing of Lennon), we accept all the variants mentioned, the croaking songs, we do not ask autographs (and then shoot at backs), we have become acrobats, trained to this perennial instability and frustration, but dance between his paintings without seeing you, waiting for cues from somewhere, and mancarti by a whisker in this ballet, at our age, too, do not know if hide next to us’ troverai’ancora: Roll on Bob!
From your veterans unhappy few.
Bob Dylan, children’s smiles, in the midst of the mayor Giuliano Pisapia and alderman culture Stefano Boeri is the only image of ” summit meeting ‘(secret) on Monday. Dylan, in Milan to oversee the installation of his exhibition at the Royal Palace (22 paintings visible until March 13, the first exhibition of the singer-artist in Italy), who visited on Sunday with the curator Francesco Bonami, it has not escaped the tributes Rite in the city government. But he would not let anyone know, that would greet the mayor and councilor, as the likely onslaught of old and new fans does not make him much pleasure. Never mind: Bob Dylan know love even the defects, the rudeness, let alone surprises us his “passion” for confidentiality. A picture, however, although not with the timing due to events of this kind, has been launched. Dylan is very serious, the mayor holds back the happiness to stand side by side with such a star, you see that the commissioner thinks, “I put this in my gold albums.”
Pisapia is still mayor of Milan, Bob Dylan is around America in his Neverending Tour, a concert evening from the East to the West Coast, Boeri from March 17 is no longer head of culture. Dismissed without notice or words, perhaps he should seize the expression in this photo intentions Pisapia:
“But goodbye’s too good a word … I know I’ll just say to thee well” (Do not think twice, it’s alright)
