Seven artists, debtors of his music, pay him homage recreating his
mythical covers

BOB DYLAN, FIGURE already legendary of the world music and one of the
most influential singers of our time, visit us again. His tour begins
on Friday in Santiago de Compostela and will travel nine cities. Owner
of a poetry extraordinarily rich, fruitful composer and able to dress
hir songs with the most diverse styles, Dylan has sat down a class to
which they have not been other people's artists of all the corners of
the world. The Spaniards, how not, they have also been soaked, along
the last three decades, of his inheritance and his legend. Some of
them, the more pasionates artists, pay , from the pages of The
MAGAZINE, a "mean" and amusing tribute to the North American
celebrity. Carlos Cano, Juli‡n Hern‡ndez (Siniestro Total), Pablo
Carbonell, Albert Pla, Aute, Christina Rosenvinge and the writer Ray
Loriga wanted to feel like Bob himself for a day, they allowed to fly
their imagination, they adopted his figure, his wardrobe and his ways
and they recreated his historical record covers. Also, they have
written him six open and personal letters. Almost declarations of
love. Or memories of youth. Or personal gratefulness. The teacher is
the teacher, and for him, more than one is able to make the most
unsuspected madness. Welcome Bob.

RAY LORIGA Y CHRISTINA ROSENVINGE
THE FREEWHEELIN«

 "Now you are the observed. from then, all of us are with Dylan and
Dylan is always alone"

 Dear Bob: With a blond girl going down a snowy street. It's cold.
Both walking shrunk. She is smiling, grabbed to your arm. You have
your hands in the pockets, glance to the floor. You are 21 years old
and it is the begining of the sixties.

Winters in New York are terribly cold, but you only wears a leather
jacket. You want to appear handsome in the picture,  and that one must
be your favorite jacket. Is it possible that you foresee what is going
to happen a bit later? You seem happy, you surely are. You have just
arrive to the Greenwich Village. You play almost every night in a
coffeeshop in front of a small audience totally surrended to your
talent. And you have a girlfriend, Suze, the girl of the photo, that
loves you so much.

Postscript: Nothing is going to be again like the moment of The
Freewheelin. One year later. Again looking at the floor, but your look
now is different. The times are changing and it seems that you take
most of the burden by yourself. You will never get rid of that load.
Thousand of people looked for signs in each one of your expressions.
Your words are interpreted endlessly. Now you are the observed. From
then all of us are with Dylan and Dylan is always alone.

Singer and actor. Top reporter  in "Caiga quien Caida." (spanish TV
programm).He has in own recording project but by this time nobody
wants to publish it.

PABLO CARBONELL
DESIRE

 "It seemed to me that you were 18 years old and that you were the
wisest man of the world"

 Dear Bob: I saw you three years ago at the university of New Orleans.
But you don't know it. The place was replete of young people, and we
all began to stan as you entered to the stage. We applauded with
solemnity but you didn't hear us, neither you smiled, neither you said
hello, neither you greeted with the head, you neither despised us, you
simply ignored us. You had come to sing your song, your firm song,
because that's what says in your contract. And there is not more. You
seemed to think:  "you will hear my voice and my guitar but you will
never have me, I won't be your clown, neither your father, neither
your prostitute." A look to your musicians and all understood that the
one that missed one note would be left without pay. All so serious
looked at you. But when you turn your face to us and you sang us, or
you quarreled us, or you intoned us, they looked at each other
alleviated and they felt great pleasure. The people danced and sang.
And you maintained your fixed eyes, bells, like the one of a serpent,
brilliant and cold. And a girl with an accordion appeared suddenly and
gave you a kiss. And the kiss seemed that  had been given to a post of
light. And your eyes shone more and more and your hair was black and
made you a shade in the face and you were thin and you dressed like an
attacker of roads and I seemed to me that you were 18 years old and
that you were the wisest man of the world.

Posdata: Desire was my first record of yours. I bought it because it
made me fun that it stated in the cover as N¡1 in the USA. But I
understood  that "N¼" was "not",  and that with that label you were
laughing at the hateful billboard. Stupendous.

Singer. He is recording his next disk, based on the feminine side of
the rancheras (mexican songs).

ALBERT PLA
WORLD GONE WRONG

 "I imagine the scene, my bed, my love to the rhythm of` "knocking at
heaven's door". .'"

 Dear Bob: It also happened to me to fall in love with a woman and
take a song like hymn of our relationship. 

We had to choose a song of yours.

The matter was well until one day it happened that you are informed
that the man that fucks your love is a staunch fan of Bob Dylan.

I imagine the scene, my bed, my love to the rhythm of "Knocking at
heaven's door".

From then, every time that I go to bed with a girl I play a record of
Silvio Rodr’guez.  (Or is it that your girlfriend, dear reader,
doesn't love Silvio Rodr’guez?).That is my revenge.

Posdata: I still remember. Your darker side you showed me with "World
gone wrong". Me too, I walk on the wild side.

He has just published his last record, "La copla" (EMI), a revision of
the gender.

CARLOS CANO
UNDER THE RED SKY

 "you Were the hero of the hitchhiking, of the whorehouse and the gas
station, of the bus of line and the burger."

 Dear Bob: When the gods walked uncombed, with jeans, shirts of
squares and acoustic guitars, you were the hero of the hitchhiking, of
the whorehouse and the gas station, of the bus of line and the burger,
of the train of goods and the beat literature. The times were changing
and the answer was in the wind.

I, meanwhile,   secretly loved the paso doble and the [chilaba], the
big teats, the republic and la copla, that masterpiede of the heart,
sentimental memory from Spain, with much solitude and little
[parneses]. The times finally changed. The answer was in the
promotion. (Bukowsky, would cut off our balls)

Postscript: Your record "Under the red sky" is prophetic, critic and
acid, lucid and lyrical. It converts the daily in extraordinary.

Singer, guitarist and composer of Siniestro total. He is preparing the
next disk of his band, a history of the [blues].

JULIçN HERNçNDEZ
HIGHWAY REVISITED

 "May everythings smiles to you  and pass us the wine that drinks the
Pope, gentleman man of the room"

 Dear Bob: If the memory doesn't fail me, his name in German means
"man of the room." The truth is that I can't think of what the hell
made your grandfather to be called that way. Obviously you are one
converse Jew, but there was a reporter from the Madrid FM that
screamed: " Even if he gets conversion to the Muslims!". The case is
that, before hugging the faith of Christ, you attempted to go by as
authentic bluesman of the Delta of the Misisipp’: without a doubt you
did it very nice. Your step from folksinger to rocker had a curious
parallelism with that of Phil Ochs, but you lacked sense of humor in
order to commit suicide later...something that doesn't take away from
you any merit, keeping in mind that you are devote admirer of the
portraits that makes Robert Crumb of the old teachers of the jazz.
And, by the way, there is the casuality that you will play live in the
capita of this spain on april 14th. 

Will he have courage to pay tribute to the International Brigades?
Well, don't bother you: the most important  is that you make a good
concert. What more can I say? Ok then, may everything smiles to you
and pass us that wine that the Pope drinks, gentleman man of the room"

Postscript: "Highway 61 revisited" is an album of 1965. The title
makes reference to the highway that  crosses the Delta of the
Misisipp’ from North to South. You dove  in the exciting sounds of the
place that saw being born to Robert Johnson and Muddy Waters. But, why
this so strange cover? Where are you in fact? Who is the character at
the back?

His last record is a double [cd] both in English and Spanish, "Air/
invisible" (1998). Several artists prepare him a tribute record.

LUIS EDUARDO AUTE
SELFPORTRAIT

 "your words, fresh and unusual for those times, were developed in
four simple chords"

 Dear Bob: I was 20 years old when I listened to Blowin' in  the wind
for the first time. I remember (I will never forget that experience)
how I felt something as a blast of wind in the brain. For those days,
I was trying to start, with more misfortune than fortune, any chord to
the guitar that had just bought. 

I knew four chords, just the four chords that built your song. That
blast of wind, that cascade of words written in the most pure slang,
suggested confused images, kind of apocalyptic, full of shades of
impotence but, at the same time, scandalously fresh and unusual for
those years, they were developed on those four simple chords. I could
fill a good heap of papers writing on the importance of your songs in
me, in my work, in my life, but this is only a letter and not a treaty
on your work, a brief letter that seeks only say you four as simple
words as those four chords of your Blowin' song [in the wind]: thank
you, dear Bob. 

Posdata: Like a painter myself I have a good time seeing how you
painte yourself in the cover of Selfportrait. It is a very amusing
painting, it has much charm. From the album I would stand out the
version of Blue moon, it is a song that wich I would have never
related to you,  but you make a cover very much to your style, it is
very attractive
