The Observer
It has been five years since the release of Bob Dylan’s last album, but any notion that the 65-year-old singer might have lost touch with the contemporary world is dispelled by the first verse of ‚Modern Times‘, the opening song on his new record.‚Thunder on the mountain, fires on the moon, There’s a ruckus in the alley and the sun will be here soon,‘ it begins, before quickly skipping to the lines ‚I was thinking about Alicia Keys, couldn’t help from crying/When she was born in Hell’s Kitchen, I was living down the line/I’m wondering where in the world Alicia Keys could be/I been looking for her even clean through Tennessee.‘
Verdammt cool.
