Who is Bob Dylan? ==================== Bob Dylan is a singer, a guitar player, a song writer and a recording artist. Born Robert Allen Zimmerman in Hibbing Minnesota in 1941, his earliest circulating recordings date from 1958! His earliest recordings on an unofficial bootleg LP date from 1960, his first commercial release dates from 1962. He continues to write, record and perform to this day. 2. What is rec.music.dylan? =========================== Welcome! This Usenet newsgroup is devoted to the discussion of Bob Dylan, his music, and things Dylan-related. We welcome your constructive comments on nearly any issue, even if it's only tangentially associated with Bob Dylan. There is no official Dylan fan club, so small packs of Dylan fans band together to stay informed and carry on general discussion. This particular Usenet newsgroup was founded mid-1989 by Tom Buckley. Sometimes it seems that all we're interested in are upcoming tour dates and clarification of fact regarding old recordings, but there is often very interesting discussion of Dylan's lyrics themselves, a reason that no doubt many of you read this newsgroup. If you don't see the sort of discussion you want, you're encouraged to bring it up yourself! Many people criticise the content and tenor of postings on rec.music.dylan but few praise those they like. If you see a posting which is just what you like to see why not e-mail the poster privately and say so. Many good posters stop posting because they say they do not know if anyone is reading or liking what they do. The way to shape rec.music.dylan to what you want is to encourage what you like to see, and to contribute good postings yourself too! 3. Are you certain your e-mail address works? ============================================= 98% of new posters who comment that nobody has answered a query they made on rec.music.dylan turn out to have displayed an e-mail address that does not function. This is so common that it is very unlikely a correspondent answering your query will do anything once they see that mail to you bounces. One of the # best ways to test your address is to send mail to the "robot" at # bouncer@nic.near.net You should be sent two replies. If this # does not work then contact the postmaster at your site. 4. Is there a rec.music.dylan etiquette? ======================================== You should already be familiar with Usenet etiquette. If not, the newsgroups to read are news.newusers.questions and news.announce.newusers. A particularly useful document is "Emily Postnews Answers Your Questions on Netiquette" by Mark Moraes <netannounce@deshaw.com>, stored at rtfm.mit.edu in a document called "part1" in the directory /pub/usenet/news.answers/usenet/emily-postnews/ As with all newsgroups, the best recommendation is for you to sit back and read for a while before you make your first posting. That way you can get a proper feel for the newsgroup. Then you will see which postings you think are valuable and which are wasting space or preventing good discussion. rec.music.dylan is not moderated, so within reason anything goes. However, certain types of postings are generally frowned upon. These include: o Tirades against other readers of the newsgroup for their opinions. o Failure to edit subject heading when replying via the digestified mailing list [HWY61-L, see later]. Please ensure you edit the subject line when posting a followup. Anyone seeing a posting headed: SUBJECT: Re: HWY61-L Digest - 5 Mar 1995 may well choose to ignore it altogether. o Lists of favourite songs/albums, including Top Tens. This is a discussion that reappears gradually more frequently as more and more people discover rec.music.dylan. It is hard to imagine a posting with less value and information content than: My top 20 favourite Bob Dylan albums, in order of preference, are: 1. Blonde On Blonde 2. Highway 61 Revisited 3. The Times They Are A-Changin' . . 20. The Basement Tapes Tell me what yours are! If you are interested in lists of favourite song or album titles then please do NOT post them to rec.music.dylan. You are instead directed to the ALLMUSIC GUIDE [see later for details] for the views of past and present readers on this issue. Polls on favourite albums and songs are already available for hundreds of artists, including Bob Dylan. And should you wish to add your vote to those already cast then you are free to do so. [A Web page has been set up for this very task! - see later]. This is NOT to say constructive discussions about WHY you place certain songs in such high regard are not of interest. Far from it - what are we all here for if not to discuss the songs? o Using rec.music.dylan as a easy substitute for personal research. There are many resources available at your local library and over the Internet (via FTP, GOPHER, the World Wide Web and Telnet). The numerous Dylan-related areas are detailed later on in this FAQ. You are strongly encouraged to consult this extensive material before asking on the newsgroup. For example, instead of asking hundreds of people for the setlist for 12 November 1981, you could simply look it up yourself in Olof Bjorner's 1981 yearly summary (via FTP, GOPHER or the WEB) or the three or four books available at your library. If the research material proves inadequate then of course you should post your question to the newsgroup stating this is so. In such cases you are much more likely to get a response! [See later for instructions on how to access this information via the Internet]. o Bootlegs. From time to time someone posts a request for contact details of bootleg dealers. Answers to these questions should be sent by private e-mail only. To post full details to the very public forum of rec.music.dylan is to put the dealers at risk. This may be an hysterical over-reaction to the real situation, but is it not best to avoid Bob Dylan's work being the most likely target when those greedy copyright lawyers finally hit the Internet in force? We all know Bob Dylan always says yes when his lawyers ask him if they should proceed, be it a computer company, a transit authority, or a ... The objection to the posting of full trade listings is more along the lines of bandwidth wastage. If you wish to set up a trade you are best advised to send a polite e-mail message [see later]. o Lists of names of other artists in which you are also interested. This thread began a very long time ago and still odd postings appear on the subject. For those who may be interested Steven Zawid zawid@eden.rutgers.edu conducted a major poll on favourite other artists and he would be interested to hear from you in e-mail as he builds up his statistics. Steven asks that you include one choice as to who your favourite non-Dylan artist is. 5. How do I access rec.music.dylan? =================================== If you have no access to Usenet News but you do have Internet access then you could join a FreeNet in order to make use of free Usenet News access. For example: telnet yfn2.ysu.edu username: visitor follow the instructions for becoming a registered user and then read rec.music.dylan whenever you please. The majority of readers access this group through a newsreader (such as rn, trn, tin or the like on Unix systems), but there is also a digestified format that is sent to many others via email. If you'd rather read in that format (a long email sent to you once or twice daily) this information will be of use to you: -- "HWY61-L Digest". The mailing list is owned and maintained by Maureen LeBlanc. (If you experience any problems with the list or have any questions then e-mail Maureen at HWY61-L-Request@UBVM.cc.buffalo.edu) To post an article to rec.music.dylan you need to use this address: hwy61-l@ubvm.cc.buffalo.edu This is the ONLY address via which your messages will appear on rec.music.dylan and the mirroring Digest. There is a third address of which users of the Mailing list need to be aware. listserv@ubvm.cc.buffalo.edu It is via this address that users communicate with the automated LISTSERV to subscribe, unsubscribe and alter options. ALL commands should be sent to THIS address. Leave the 'subject' blank and on the first line of the body of the message type your command. (If you experience problems try omitting your ".sig" because the Listserv may be trying to interpret it as commands.) Here are the various commands you can send (all to the above address): (a) To receive a help file on how to work with the listserv: HELP (b) To subscribe to the mailing list: SUBSCRIBE HWY61-L firstname lastname (c) To unsubscribe from the mailing list: SIGNOFF HWY61-L (d) The default setting is to send out the list in digestified format. If you would prefer to be sent rec.music.dylan as-it-happens, ie. each posting is sent to you as an individual message, then issue this command: SET HWY61-L MAIL To return to digestified format, issue: SET HWY61-L DIGEST (e) If you wish to suspend receipt of messages from the list for any period of time you do not need to unsubscribe. Simply set your selected option to 'no mail' by issuing: SET HWY61-L NOMAIL To resume delivery again, issue: SET HWY61-L DIGEST -- If you lack Usenet news access and want to post (without having to subscribe to the mailing list), simply e-mail your posting to: hwy61-l@ubvm.cc.buffalo.edu or rec-music-dylan@cs.utexas.edu ^ ^ N.B. - NOT . or _ / hyphens not full stops or underscores! 6. Glossary of terms and acronyms common to this newsgroup. =========================================================== All areas of knowledge develop jargon and acronyms which inevitably serve to keep outsiders out and to confuse newcomers. Medical doctors complicate the simplest things with needlessly difficult terms and abbreviations, computer experts often make the easy inaccessible to newcomers with obscure terms and abbreviations by trying to 'simplify' communications, management consultants... Well, you get the picture. People with a serious and debilitating Dylan habit can also develop these tendencies. Watch for the following obscure terms... #Dylan = The name of the Dylan channel on irc. BoB = Blonde on Blonde [1966] [not a typo for "Bob"!] BotT = Blood on the Tracks [1974] BIABH = Bringing It All Back Home [1965] boot = bootleg bootleg = circulating copy of officially unreleased material in any form. The term is probably derived from 'bootleg' liquor, which was sometimes smuggled in bottles strapped to one's leg during Prohibition in the United States, 1918-1933. Bootleg Series = The Bootleg Series 1961-1991, Rare and Unreleased, Volumes 1-3 [1991] - not to be confused with 'bootleg' above, this is an official release that reveals many songs and performances from throughout Dylan's career that were previously available only on bootleg media. The liner notes of this boxed set mention that further volumes would be released, but no reliable source has been able to determine if and when this might actually happen... BTW = By the way... EDLIS = Exchange of Dylan Lyrics - Internet Service [see question 8, below, for more information on EDLIS] GAIBTY = Good As I Been To You [1992] H61R = Highway 61 Revisited [1965] Hurricane = The lead-off single from Desire [1976], which tells Dylan's rather loose interpretation of the murder trial of boxer Rubin "Hurricane" Carter; Carter is today a free man in Canada after having endured a convoluted series of mistrials and legal wrangling. IMO = In my opinion... IMHO = In my humble opinion... irc = Internet Relay Chat, an international live real-time conferencing system with a channel called #Dylan. [see question #9, below] JWH = John Wesley Harding [1967] This album (and its title track) were mis-named after outlaw John Wesley Hardin. Dylan's song has very little to do with the story of the real Hardin; instead, it's basically just a spin-off of Woody Guthrie's "Pretty Boy Floyd." Some Dylan fans note the religious bent of this album and claim that the initials 'JWH' really refer to the Judeo-Christian deity... Krogsgaard = Krogsgaard's 1991 reference book, Positively Bob Dylan [listed below in question 10c]. A Krogsgaard number would be in a form such as [7/201]. This refers to item seven in the Krogsgaard listing for event 201. Badly addicted rec.music.dylan readers can be told such a number and then immediately sing the relevant item without reference to the Krogsgaard book itself! pirate = Illegal copy of officially released material. Also known as a "counterfeit". smiley = An unusual punctuation device, presumably employed only by computer-users, which looks like a sideways smiley-face: :-) A smiley usually means that a comment or article has been written in jest, and should be read accordingly. A common variant is ;-) with the 'winking' eye. There are many, many variants on the smiley, and most are used to represent the flairs of spoken language that are often hard to perceive in text. :-( tape tree = A 'pyramid' method of distributing tapes organized by someone with a good or unusual tape that begs to be circulated. That person posts an announcement to the newsgroup, asking people to send email to him to sign up. He collects the names of those interested, and creates a 'tree' such that no one has to make an excessive number of copies, and people with better tape decks make copies for those without, etc. The original tape is the 'seed'. Those who receive copies from the seed and make further copies are 'branches', and those who receive copies from branches but don't copy for anyone else are the 'leaves'. Sometimes a person who makes copies is called a 'parent' and one who receives copies is a 'child'. Each person who receives tapes is expected to send tapes of other events in return to their branch. If blanks are sent in lieu of recorded tapes, the person sending blanks is expected to send double the number of blank tapes to recorded tapes. A less common method is that the person sendng blanks is expected to pay postage for both the tapes that sent and the ones received. If trading with a DAT collector who is supplying you with an analogue cassette, one blank DAT is adequate double compensation should they not want any blank analogue cassettes from you. T-999 = Numbers like these are Townsend numbers. Townsend number = A three figure number identifying a specific bootleg CD as cited by Phill Townsend in his Strangers And Prophets [listed above], or as cited in Isis [listed above]. UTRS = Under The Red Sky [1990] WGW = World Gone Wrong [1993] WWW = World-Wide-Web [see question 5, below] ZZ = someone used to the vi editor in Unix posting from a different and unfamiliar editor trying to end their posting... 7.
