Bob Dylan in Verona, New York

20. APRIL 2005
Verona / New York - Turning Stone Casino and Resort

Review by David de Vries
Listening to the terrifying story of Hollis Brown last night in its new setting as an ominous electric blues brought that piece of prairie desolation vividly and immediately alive. My son, who is thirteen and who was at his second Dylan concert, asked with some concern in his voice after the concert if the story in that song was true. (And that should give you an indication of how well Dylan was singing last night—my son caught every word of that song.) Whether it is historically true or not really doesn’t matter, I replied. What matters is what you think about the story. And he then asked about the seven babies being born at the end. “What does that mean?” Indeed, what does it mean? My son thinks it is a hopeful sign. I think, on the heels of that slow building tragedy, that it implies seven more potential dead ends. But that’s not the point. Here’s the point: a sixty-three year old man was able to sing a song so compellingly he got a thirteen year old boy to care, to worry about the people in the song. That is a testament to the extraordinary power of Bob Dylan.
