A Bob Dylan Review

Jon Sarkin headed to Manchester for Sunday night's Dylan show. He was kind enough to send us a review, in boldface.

BOB DYLAN MANCHESTER, NH 8/27/06

This show was unreal. I mean that quite literally: it was devoid of any reality. It was timeless, in that it transported to me to a place of timelessness. The highlight of the show was "Tears of Rage." The transcendence of this song, its awesome transforming and transmutative power, was overwhelming. Dylan is a cipher in the truest sense. His meaning is as Sphinx-like as meaning can get, and it is sublimated into freeform experience and pure crystalline energy. This event was powerfully informative and mythically evocative. It was archetypally primordial and primitively symbolic. Legends have immortality, and eternity can be construed as infinity. Semiotics becomes syntactics, and Boolean petroglyphs inform what WERE anachronisms. Water seeks its own level, no? Long live Dylan. May he stay forever young.
