Of all the scribes who have commented on Dylan's astounding contribution to music, Paul Williams stands apart as the person who perhaps best fit the criticism to the music. Much in the way that Dylan has created not just art but an entire genre, Williams, over the course of 30 years, has created his own unique style of writing about Dylan as a performer. Williams is not afraid to go out on a limb--some of his observations are eccentric, but he's lucid and never boring. <i>Watching the River Flow</i> collects the best of Paul Williams's essays about Dylan, from his 1966 comments on the classic <i>Blonde on Blonde</i> to his December 1996 concert dates (at which Patti Smith was the opening act and tributes to Jerry Garcia filled the air). 127173 8 1996 Bob Dylan: Watching the River Flow : Observations on His Art-In-Progress, 1966-1995 total:12|5:1|4:7|3:4|2:0|1:0| 12 45 13 2 4 0 false false Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 1998 Sat Sep 15 18:31:39 -0700 2007 Sat Sep 15 18:32:43 -0700 2007 4 0 false false Sat Aug 01 00:00:00 -0700 1998 Sun Jan 13 11:26:31 -0800 2008 Fri Feb 08 18:53:18 -0800 2008 3 0 false false Thu Dec 03 05:30:44 -0800 2009 Thu Dec 03 05:30:49 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Sun Jul 19 08:16:41 -0700 2009 Sun Jul 19 08:16:45 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Mon Jun 08 02:19:38 -0700 2009 Mon Jun 08 02:19:43 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Thu Oct 09 05:54:32 -0700 2008 Thu Oct 09 05:54:32 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Mon Jul 28 19:33:00 -0700 2008 Mon Jul 28 19:33:00 -0700 2008 3 0 false false Wed Jul 16 15:08:23 -0700 2008 Wed Jul 16 15:08:23 -0700 2008 5 0 false false Fri Jan 25 13:24:44 -0800 2008 Fri Jan 25 13:24:44 -0800 2008 4 0 false false Mon Dec 17 21:27:30 -0800 2007 Mon Dec 17 21:27:30 -0800 2007 3 0 false false Mon Sep 10 18:47:13 -0700 2007 Mon Sep 10 18:47:13 -0700 2007 0 0 false false Sun Aug 12 18:59:33 -0700 2007 Sun Aug 12 18:59:39 -0700 2007 3 0 false false Fri Aug 10 08:02:13 -0700 2007 Fri Aug 10 08:02:13 -0700 2007 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=132030
