About this artwork
WHAT WAS HE THINKING?
1959 HIBBING MINNESOTA — Should he stay home to sell refrigerators and TVs at his father's appliance store, OR should he leave Hibbing for New York City to meet Woody Guthrie and fulfill his promise to become rich and famous for his grandmother?
JANUARY 24, 1961 GREENWICH VILLAGE NYC — Upon arriving in New York City, he wandered into Cafe Wha?, where the manager let him play a few songs. Someone would take him in, feed him,… and soon he would become a "professional folk singer". Told ya so, Grandma!
JULY 25, 1965 NEWPORT FOLK FESTIVAL — Bob's opening lyric "I ain't gonna work on Maggies farm no more!", was electrifying. It represented a musical betrayal to the folk audience, who accused him of abandoning them for rock 'n' roll. They shouted, "Sellout!" and "Get rid of that band!" Dylan responded fiercely with "LIKE A ROLLING STONE" and its chorus: "How does it feel?" After delivering one more song, he walked off stage, leaving the audience stunned.

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.
