The Philosophy of Modern Song Review: Feels so good - I love this book and happy to have it and read every day a little bit. I read Chronicles many times. It feels so good to read anything from Bob Dylan. I waited by his bus and attended his concert this year in Portland Oregon and it felt so good. He was right in front of my eyes, his hair looked so good! I thought I snapped a short video of him getting in the concert building but when I got home I realized I filmed the ground only. One guard came towards me and I don't know what happened but I have no movie. It's actually my second encounter with Bob Dylan up close but first time was accidental. It was a few years back when he was again in concert in Portland. At encore when all people were standing, clapping asking for more songs, I thought it was a good opportunity for me to get out of the building first, so I walked out at the first door. In the street right in front of my eyes was Bob Dylan rushing in his bus. He was not inside responding to encore he was outside rushing in his bus. That's where I learned about the bus. Anyway I don't know how this person can feel so good but I'm so lucky to be contemporary with Bob Dylan. I love this man with all my heart. Edited: So, I finished reading the book. It's like everything Bob Dylan: liberating, cool, gutsy, full of appetite for life. So inspirational. He still has it! And I finished reading the book the 2nd time. This book is a masterpiece. He freestyles. Pulls in, combines cool words, exciting characters, songs, stories, his emotions, different ideas, his wisdom, solutions, beautiful places, fantasy, reality, interactions between characters, and does it all with deep sensitivity, wisdom and unmatched style for 300+ pages. Must be fun doing this kind of dreaming. He touches the core of reality as it is, goes to the core of how he feels, is way cool, is successful and I relate to all that. He's one of the very few people who walks this earth that I can like and tolerate. There are people who understand reality as it is and are tough, they may not feel that much. I tolerate them well, they offer me sweet relief from my own emotionality. I work in tough industries and they build my houses, build my apps. Then there are people who have no clue what reality is. Emotional, stylish or not, I can't stand them. They are a pain with every interaction. And there are people I neither like nor dislike. I don’t see them at all. I read somewhere that you can consider yourself lucky if you find one single person that inspires you. Well, so far I found Bob Dylan and nothing else. I’ve always felt lucky for sure. In this book Bob Dylan plays on all sides. I barely can play on the side I can see with my eyes. I’m a bum blank in my head but at least I see well. I've been sitting at the feet of Master Bob Dylan trying to see how to walk from where I am to where I want to go as effective as I can without hurting myself. I'm hopeful that if he made it (like in making a good living) I can make it too. I like that he puts himself out there, can communicate and has so much to give. Many of us, simple people, non-mainstream, unrepressed, bored to tears, drinking too much, roaming too much, can relate to him and take what he gives with both hands. From the list of songs I only looked up one song and a half. It's too hard. I like and trust what Bob Dylan picks and chews and I eat all. I like everything, everything he gives. I'm happy and well-nourished. How not to like a person so lovable, who vibrates with life, fun, interesting, precise, true to himself, fearless like crazy, so precious and who benefits me. Review: Give it a spin. - This book was an enjoyable education to explore. Whether I knew the song or not, I approached the book by reading the text first and then listening to the song via computer. Sometimes, I repeated the process. The insights are valid (of course they are -- it's the great Bob Dylan) and the writing is sharp and entertaining. I love the book and will most likely start the exploration all over again. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #65,092 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #643 in Arts & Literature Biographies #1,047 in Memoirs (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 1,840 Reviews | ## Images ![The Philosophy of Modern Song - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81XU7OlDIcL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Feels so good *by C***K on November 12, 2022* I love this book and happy to have it and read every day a little bit.

Whether I knew the song or not, I approached the book by reading the text first and then listening to the song via computer. Sometimes, I repeated the process. The insights are valid (of course they are -- it's the great Bob Dylan) and the writing is sharp and entertaining. I love the book and will most likely start the exploration all over again. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Not philosophy, perhaps, but a wild excursion *by G***S on November 29, 2022* This book tells us more about Dylan than songs. It is entertaining and informative in sections, but it can also be a bit frustrating. I guess you could say the same about many of his songs. They fascinate you and excite you, but if you study them too closely the substance unravels. That is a point our friend Bob makes more than once on this ride through popular songs from the 20th century for the most part. The one standout from the 19th century is Stephen Foster's Nelly Was a Lady. Dylan didn't pick the greatest songs of all time, nor did he necessarily just include his personal favorites. He uses this hodgepodge of musical offerings to illustrate certain points he wants to make. He reveals his octogenarian views in some of his lectures and he surely will offend some readers with expressions and attitudes that may seem a little out place in this century. But, as has always been the case with Dylan, you have to take it or leave it. He is who he is and he is not a simple man. He is a genius and, as such, he is worth the time and struggle any reader might have. This is a very short book, loaded with illustrations and old photos, some of which are strangely entertaining. His thoughts about little Richard's Long Tall Sally amount to less than half a page. His examination of Frank Sinatra is 1966 hit Strangers in the Night takes up a few pages and reveals a fascinating story about the men who wrote the melody and the lyrics. The little tidbits of trivia are fun to read and often illustrate what makes a song memorable. Dylan fans will eat all of this up, others may not. I am a Dylan fan, so I loved it. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/414412394-the-philosophy-of-modern-song](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/414412394-the-philosophy-of-modern-song) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-10-18*
