About this artwork
As our witness, Bob returns to Highway 61, the highway connecting Duluth, MN (Dylan's birthplace), to the Delta Blues area of Mississippi. The junction of Highway 61 and Highway 49 is the infamous "crossroads" where bluesman Robert Johnson allegedly sold his soul to the devil in exchange for talent and fame. Bob never claimed he had done the same.
Each stanza of "HIGHWAY 61 REVISITED" describes a problem resolved on Highway 61. It starts with… God informing Abraham – the next time he sees him comin', he better run. And ends with a gambler trying to create the next world war.
WHAT WAS HE THINKING? — In his memoir, Dylan wrote: "Highway 61 ... begins about where I began. ... It was the same road, full of the same contradictions, the same one-horse towns, the same spiritual ancestors ... It was my place in the universe, it always felt like it was in my blood." According to BobDylan.com, He has performed this song 2028 times since 8.31.1969.

About the series:
WHAT WAS HE (Bob Dylan) THINKING?
In 1964, when Bob Dylan sang these first two lines of
I SHALL BE FREE No.10
"I’m just average, common too,
I’m just like him, the same as you"
I wanted to believe him. But I was not just like him. Besides, I couldn’t sing, let alone play guitar. Sixty-five years later, I’m still listening and often still wonder — What Was HE Thinking?
The SQUARE IMAGE TRIPTYCHS highlight moments within Bob Dylan’s career while simply questioning what he was thinking during those situations. (Special configurations (Your choice of any 3) requests accepted).
The RECTANGULAR IMAGES illustrate a song’s lyrics, literally, the way I heard them the first time, straightforward without concern as to what Bob might have meant. It’s all about the visuals. Some reflect a single line or a single verse, while others include imagery for every verse of a song.
