Paul Morley Review by Alan Taylor Come May 24, Bob Dylan will be 80. Rock stars are not supposed to live this long. “I hope I die before I get old,” sang The Who, a wish granted its frenetic drummer, Keith Moon. Countless others – Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, Brian Jones – went the same way, expiring like fireworks after briefly lighting up the night sky. That Dylan was not one of them is as much a matter of good fortune as anything else. His riposte to The Who’s requiem might be Forever Young, which he wrote in 1973 as a lullaby for his eldest son: May you always know the truth/And see the lights surrounding you. By then the sunshine of the 1960s had been replaced by the cynicism of the 1970s, the selfishness, self-indulgence and self-destructiveness of the Summer of Love by a sense of hopelessness and disillusionment. As Joan Didion wrote, “the centre was not holding”.
