Bob Dylan On Lenny Bruce: More Of An Outlaw Than You Ever Were, Louise Harmon Jan 2012

Bob Dylan On Lenny Bruce: More Of An Outlaw Than You Ever Were, Louise Harmon

Fordham Urban Law Journal

This Essay seeks to compare and contrast two contemporary performing artists: Bob Dylan and Lenny Bruce. Bruce and Dylan both became artists in the middle of twentieth-century America—in the same stew of ideas, myths, and shared assumptions. Both experienced the same winds of change, albeit at different stages of life, in the 1950s and 1960s, the post-World War II Cold War period, the burgeoning civil rights movement, and the Vietnam War.

The Freewheelin’ Judiciary: A Bob Dylan Anthology, Alex B. Long

Fordham Urban Law Journal

Judges at all levels in the United States judicial system have cited Bob Dylan far more often than any other popular music artist. The logical question then becomes, “why?” Why is Dylan (rather than John Lennon, Woody Guthrie, or some other prominent and sociallyconscious songwriter) the preferred songwriter for judges, and why do judges feel the need to cite Dylan’s lyrics to begin with? What are they hoping to convey to the reader about the legal issue at hand, the legal system in general, or about themselves that causes them to rely on the works of Dylan? What type of …
