Bob Dylan: Life Among The Dead
Richard Williams, MOJO, June 2001
I SUPPOSE you would have to say that 1987 was not a great year for Bob Dylan, or for Bob Dylan's fans. He played harmonica on a Warren Zevon album track, he attended Elizabeth Taylor's 55th birthday party, he visited Gracelands, he guested on a Ringo Starr session that the drummer subsequently deemed unfit for release, he appeared in the film Hearts Of Fire. And infamously, unforgivably he went on the road with The Grateful Dead.
