Dylan Performs
for Sold-Out Crowd

Harvard Crimson Contributing Writer

Shouts of “Make way! Moses is here!” filled a restless crowd as legendary musician Bob Dylan closed off his College tour last night jamming in front of a sold out audience of Harvard undergraduates and Cambridge residents….

From an entry of October 29, 2004:

“Each epoch has its singer.”
Jack London, Oakland, California, 1901

“Anything but the void. And so we keep hoping to luck into a winning combination, to tap into a subtle harmony, trying like lock pickers to negotiate a compromise with the ‘mystery tramp,’ as Bob Dylan put it….”

    the vacuum of his eyes
And ask him do you want to
    make a deal?”
— Bob Dylan, Like a Rolling Stone

From The New York Times today:

“It’s official, I guess. Forty years after he recorded it, Bob Dylan’s ‘Like a Rolling Stone’ was just named the greatest rock ‘n’ roll song of all time….”
