Radical Side of Bob Dylan: Wobblies, Civil Rights, New Left, and the Commons of American Popular Music
How did Bob Dylan become arguably the most influential American musician in the past half century?
Dylan’s artistic staying power has its roots in traditional popular music, from folk to blues to country,
which expresses the making of the U.S. working class.
We will explore Dylan’s musical debt to the labor troubadour Woody Guthrie and the Wobbly martyr Joe Hill
and how Dylan came to influence the civil rights movement and the New Left radicals, such as the Black Panther
Party and the Weather Underground, during the 1960s.
