If Clinton Heylin hates it, I’m in!
hubert rawlinson says
I went to the Heylin book launch earlier this month, at the interval the friend I was with said that he didn’t think he’d buy the book as it didn’t sound that interesting, I replied that was my thoughts too.
As the i said in its review they weren’t sure if C Heylin even liked Dylan.
Though Heylin did myself and the same friend a good turn a few years ago.
Junior Wells says
He does appear to be an odious fellow.
I just did a cost of flights to Tulsa check, unbeknownst to Mrs Wells who doesn’t even want to go to America, let alone Tulsa.The cost from down here is heavy. 2 stops -Auckland and Chicago. And on reflection a week or so at the Bob Dylan Centre and the Woody Guthrie centre could well do my head in.

That would take, what, 24 hours?
Junior Wells says
I didn’t get that far in assessing it. Was about $A3200 return.

Not a Gene Pitney fan then?
Junior Wells says
I am , just a bit slow today Mike.

Worth going to breathe the same air as J.J. Cale.
Concerning Heylin he’s a Grade 1 obnoxious egoistic b@st@rd. I’ve met him a couple of times before he published his first book. Due to his behaviour he was put in his place the second time I and a friend had the misfortune to come across him. Each occasion took place at Dylan Conventions in Manchester.
Good to know that some people here can see through him.
Regarding the ‘MUTM’ book I’m giving it a pass. I have over 50 books with His Bobness as the subject. Err, it does look good doesn’t it?
Junior Wells says
I was not going to buy it either Baron. I prefer more words , more analysis than these coffee table type books but when I saw the discount , well book #46 for me it is.
A pity no one phone recorded you putting Heylin “in his place”. Was he just generally offensive or was it something particular that raised your ire above your usual level of ire? 😉
Baron Harkonnen says
It was the late 80’s/early 90’s I think, before mobile phones that filmed/recorded. He thought he was royalty because he was giving a lecture on some aspect of His Bobness which like his books* was a load of b@ll@cks. It wasn’t due to his lecture just his general attitude and behaviour especially on the second occasion. I’m not going into the details.
*I must admit my experience of reading his books was about 10 pages of his first Dylan book and first hand reports of fellow Dylan fans who were daft enough to read them. The guy is a charlatan, there are many great books on Dylan, Heylin hasn’t written any of them.
Oh FYI Junior I rarely display or ‘raise my ire’ in real life.
