Bob Dylan Gets Tangled Up in Book Autograph Controversy Simon & Schuster sold 900 signed copies of the singer’s new essay collection, but superfans and internet sleuths noticed something wasn’t right with the autograph. Now the publisher is issuing ... www.nytimes.com

Somewhere in the middle of reading Dylan’s new book of music essays and rambles, you might stop and think to yourself: not only is this book seated and important, but this is the same guy who owned music, and pretty much the world, from 1964-1974 — in other words after he proved Blowin' in the Wind and The Times They are A-Changin’ and now it was Another Side of Bob Dylan-to-Blood on the Tracks. Nothing compared then, or now. In fact, most people haven’t a clue what to do with him. Or this book. Not even lousy Simon and Schuster knew how to present this book without a scam. Dylan’s entire lexicon, and this book, is about recognizing and understanding and living through and into the scam.

Does anyone think Bob Dylan is going to sit down and sign 900 copies of this book?

He has songs to write.

I Will Greet the Sun Again

I will greet the sun again

I will greet

the stream that flowed in me

the clouds that were my long thoughts

the painful growth of the aspens in the garden

who passed with me through the dry seasons

I will greet the flock of crows

who brought me the scent of the fields at night

as a gift

I will greet my mother who lived in the mirror

and was the reflection of my old age

and greet the earth again

whose throbbing interior, with my chronic lust

I have stuffed with green seeds

I will come, I will come, I will come

with my glossy hair: rich with the scents of turned-up soil

with my eyes: experiences of thick darkness

with bushes I have picked from the grove on the other side of the wall

I will come, I will come, I will come

and the threshold will be filled with love

and on the threshold

I will greet those who love again

and the girl still standing there

on the love-filled threshold
