About this artwork
WHAT WAS HE THINKING?
JULY 26, 1963 NEWPORT FOLK FESTIVAL — The pure folk fans came to see Their Queen, Joan Baez. Dylan showed up with a leather bullwhip. Just a young whippersnapper OR was he saying there was a new ringmaster in town? 13,000 heard him for the first time. The very next year, he returned as Their King.
AUGUST 28, 1963 THE MARCH ON WASHINGTON DC — Years later, Dylan recalled performing before MLK's "I had a dream" speech, saying,… "I looked up from the podium, and I thought to myself, I've never seen such a large crowd. I was up close when Dr. King was giving that speech. To this day, it still affects me in a profound way."
AUGUST 28, 1964 DELMONICO HOTEL, NYC — Dylan met the "Fab Four" at their hotel. He suggested they smoke some grass. He lit the first joint and passed it to John, who passed it to Ringo, who smoked it like a cigarette. Brian Epstein thought he was flying. Paul was on another level. Bob looked on with amusement as The Beatles giggled uncontrollably.

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.
