First sentence: At the close of the 1963 Newport Folk Festival, everybody joined together onstage to sing Woody Guthrie's "This Land Is Your Land" This sing-along gathered folk's elite-Pete Seeger, Joan Baez, Theodore Bikel, Peter, Paul and Mary, and the Free Singers-for a harmonious picture of how this performing community saw itself.
Description: Hard Rain ranges over thirty years of Bob Dylan's recordings, films, and concerts to deliver astute insights into - and sometimes heretical judgements of - his prodigious corpus of work. This updated edition includes a new epilogue that examines Dylan's thirtieth anniversary celebration in 1992; his albums Good As I Been to You, World Gone Wrong, and Time Out of Mind: his 1997 performance before the Pope; and his Grammy Award-winning comeback.
