In this chapter I make a distinction between the covers and early, humorous compositions recorded by Bob Dylan and The Band in the spring of 1967 and the Dylan compositions recorded in the summer and autumn of 1967. I account for these tonal differences by referring to the urban uprisings of 1967 and analyze, in the main, “This Wheel’s on Fire” and “Too Much of Nothing.” In both songs, I focus on the way in which they project versions of temporality in America inflected by an eschatological fixation. The songs ambivalently express a feeling of an oncoming catastrophe in America, as well as expressing a tension between memory and history.

摘要

In this chapter I make a distinction between the covers and early, humorous compositions recorded by Bob Dylan and The Band in the spring of 1967 and the Dylan compositions recorded in the summer and autumn of 1967. I account for these tonal differences by referring to the urban uprisings of 1967 and analyze, in the main, “This Wheel’s on Fire” and “Too Much of Nothing.” In both songs, I focus on the way in which they project versions of temporality in America inflected by an eschatological fixation. The songs ambivalently express a feeling of an oncoming catastrophe in America, as well as expressing a tension between memory and history.
