Buy Bob Dylan's harmonica
From Bruce Springsteen to Van Morrison, talent has kissed a great number of harmonicas. But no mouth-harps are so storied as those of Bob Dylan. And now, at last, you can buy them.
Yes - real, certified, saliva-laden Dylan harmonicas are going on sale via instrument-maker Hohner. For just $25,000 (£12,500), you may lay hands on a set of seven Marine Band harmonicas that were personally played by Dylan.
There are just 25 such sets available, all hand-signed, sold exclusively through Sam Ash Music.
"He's played our products forever. Usually when he'll go on the road, his road manager will call here and purchase a bunch of harmonicas to go out with," Scott Emmerman, Hohner's director of marketing and sales, told E! News.
Those who can't afford all 7 Dylan-blown harmonicas – instruments in the keys of C, G, D, F, A, B and E - can opt for a single C harmonica, again signed by Dylan, for just $5,000. And if you are desperately cheap, you can always pick up one of the mass-produced models, machine-stamped with Bob Dylan's signature - but unkissed by his Rock'n'roll Hall of Fame-inducted lips.
The limited edition harmonicas will go on sale at SamAshMusic.com starting on midnight, October 29, while the unslobbered ones will be sold by Hohner dealers worldwide.
Dylan will receive a portion of the sales, E! reported.
Hohner's previous special edition harmonica line was with Aerosmith singer Steven Tyler. Depraved rock fans, take note: Buy both harmonicas, mush them together, and you can pretend that Tyler and Dylan are kissing. From Bruce Springsteen to Van Morrison, talent has kissed a great number of harmonicas. But no mouth-harps are so storied as those of ... more -
Bob Dylan’s Foto-Rhetoric: Hollywood Behind the Sign
Barry Feinstein, the rock 'n' roll photographer, was digging through his archives last year when he found a long-forgotten bundle of pictures, dozens of dark and moody snapshots taken of Hollywood back in the early 1960s. Tucked next to the photographs was a set of prose poems, written around the same time by an old friend: Bob Dylan. At the time that he originally arranged the group of photographs in the 60s, Mr. Feinstein had asked Dylan to come out to Hollywood and write some text to accompany the photographs.
The resulting collection is sometimes dark and dreary, sometimes tongue-in-cheek, and often just plain sardonic. There are vintage snapshots of movie props and roadside stands, topless starlets and headless mannequins. In one photograph a young woman, visible only from the ankles down, crouches on Sophia Loren’s star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, her hand pressed into Sophia Loren's footprints in the cement. In another photograph, a completely empty parking lot at 20th Century Fox is cynically marked with a large sign asking for "Talent."
The article includes a number of uniquely satirical vintage photographs from this collection, a video, music audio and a very intriguing photo-gallery.
If you've got just a bit of a dark side, have yourself a little look for a good chuckle!! Barry Feinstein, the rock 'n' roll photographer, was digging through his archives last year when he found a long-forgotten b... more -

Dream of Life: An Intimate Portrait of Patti Smith
"Patti Smith: Dream of Life" is a new film that’s been 12 years in the making, a work that reveals an intimate, impressionistic portrait of a woman who is still blazing her own trail through late middle age, a woman who has seen and suffered great loss and who is perhaps the only major surviving connection from New York City’s Beat generation, to the 1970s Manhattan art scene, to the birth of punk, to the present.
The film is a paean to life, resoundingly joyous and elegiac, warm and vibrantly present, a collage of moods and moments from one immensely talented woman’s richly lived time on earth. "Dream of Life" is a beautiful and occasionally haunting artistic creation, a meditation on aging and mortality, an intimate study of an unusual kind of fame and the portrait of a genuinely remarkable person.
Stunning photographs, five remarkable videos and a wonderful photo-gallery are included.
Have a look and enjoy!! "Patti Smith: Dream of Life" is a new film that’s been 12 years in the making, a work that reveals an intimate, impressionis... more -
My Chemical Romance to cover Bob Dylan for 'Watchmen' film
My Chemical Romance are planning a "pretty freaking cool" Bob Dylan cover for a film adaptation of Alan Moore's graphic novel 'Watchmen'.
The band's version of 'Desolation Row' will close the superhero movie.
When speaking to MTV News, director Zack Synder explained: "(Gerard Way, MCR frontman) is a super-great guy, and an awesome musician, and so we're trying to work with them right now to put together a song for the end titles."
Synder added: "I've talked with [Way] and I've heard a little bit of some stuff that's he's done and it's pretty freaking cool.”
The band interest in the adaptation, which come out net year, is not purely musical though.
"Honestly, he contacted me," said Synder. "Just as a fan, to say like: 'I hope the movie's cool.' And then we went, 'Hey, maybe we can do something.'." My Chemical Romance are planning a "pretty freaking cool" Bob Dylan cover for a film adaptation of Alan Moore's graphic... more -

Bob Dylan gives first-ever endorsement: announces ringing support for Obama

Dylan is presently in Europe, where he has an art exhibition opening in London.

Bob Dylan backs Obama
His 1964 track 'The Times They are a-Changin' became the anthem for his generation, symbolising the era-defining social struggle against the establishment.
Now Bob Dylan - who could justifiably claim to be the architect of Barack Obama's 'change' catchphrase - has backed the Illinois senator to do for modern America what the generation before did in the 1960s.

Speechless: Dylan All Alone in Warhol’s Photobooth
Andy Warhol introduced the idea of the "movie self portrait" in the 1960s. Visitors to The Factory who were seen as potential "stars" were asked to sit in front of a camera that was mounted on a tripod. They were told not to blink while the camera ran, which was loaded with one minute of film.
Even though no one else was present in the room, the subject did not really have control. When we watch these one-minute "movie self portraits" waves of feelings, emotions and insecurities pass before our eyes. Something vulnerable is revealed. Here's the "movie self portrait" that was made by a clearly uncomfortable Bob Dylan.
Wonderful photographs, the video of Dylan's revealing "movie self portrait" and a great photo-gallery are included. Andy Warhol introduced the idea of the "movie self portrait" in the 1960s. Visitors to The Factory who were seen as potenti... more -

Lost in Democracy
Hidden near the Himalayas between India and Tibet, the kingdom of Bhutan has long been shrouded in mystery. Sometimes called the last Shangri-La, its a lushly forested land where people wear traditional robes, where policy is guided by Gross National Happiness, and where Tantric Buddhist saints are celebrated with paintings of gigantic penises. But Bhutan is on the verge of change. This year, it will transform itself from an absolute monarchy to a parliamentary democracy a move that leaves many young Bhutanese puzzled and uneasy. When His Majesty first informed us he was going to change the government, there were lots of people who couldnt speak, says one activist. They wished it was just a dream. Current Correspondent Christof Putzel travels to Bhutan to find out how young people are dealing with democracy, westernization, and other challenges to their unique national culture. Hidden near the Himalayas between India and Tibet, the kingdom of Bhutan has long been shrouded in mystery. Sometimes called the last... more
