Last year's biopic about Dylan's early career ('A Complete Unknown') rekindled an interest in how his songwriting and performance style evolved so rapidly in the little more than four years in which his first seven albums were released: from his eponymous debut in March 1962 through 'Blonde on Blonde' in June 1966. This course will examine each album in depth looking at the songs as well as the production values and critical response.

Fridays; 12/5, 12/12 & 12/19, JPSN, Room 118 ( No seats currently available )

This iteration of Four Friday Films presents movies that invite us to think about our experience and perception of the world. As usual with this course, the films are fun to watch, but the emphasis this semester is less on 'feel good' than on 'hmmm, I hadn't considered that before.' We'll watch 'Stranger Than Fiction,' 'Brother From Another Planet,' and 'The Man From Earth,' finishing with Anne Hathaway in 'Colossal.'
