Bob Dylans abrupt abandonment of overtly political songwriting in the mid1960s caused an uproar among critics and fans. In Wicked Messenger, acclaimed culturalpolitical commentator Mike Marqusee advances the new thesis that Dylan did not drop politics from his songs but changed the manner of his critique to address the changing political and cultural climate and, more importantly, his own evolving aesthetic.Wicked Messenger is also a riveting political history of the United States in the 1960s. Tracing the development of the decades political and cultural dissent movements, Marqusee shows how their twists and turns were anticipated in the poetic aestheticanarchic, unaccountable, contradictory, punk of Dylan's midsixties albums, as well as in his recent artistic ventures in Chronicles, Vol. I and Masked and Anonymous.Dylans anguished, selfobsessed, prickly artistic evolution, Marqusee asserts, was a deeply creative response to a deeply disturbing situation. 'He can no longer tell the story straight,' Marqusee concludes, 'because any story told straight is a false one.'
