Down the Highway: The Life of Bob Dylan
by Howard Sounes Author
The definitive biography, clocking in at 608 pages, of a US folk music and activist icon. Based on years of research and over 250 interviews, Howard Sounes's telling of Bob Dylan's life and times is fascinating, candid, sincere, and comprehensive. See how the young kid who "burst on the scene already a legend" in the words of Joan Baez, shocking everyone, and blazed a bright path through the 60s counterculture and protest movements as well as many friendships and relationships, grew in fits and starts into a rock and roll elder.

This book was so amazing that I couldn't keep it. I had to pass it on for a friend to enjoy, in hopes that she would pass it onto others.
Im not the best at putting my thoughts in to actual words but I'll give it a shot because this book is worth it.
Some people might disagree how amazing this book really is because they feel it has "too many pictures" but personally I feel the portraits of the people talking go so well with the stories that are being told. One minute you're on a page with a 9 year old talking about being raised in a squat then on the next page you have someone talking about how they kept walking (and eventually swimming) in a straight line until they got into Canada. Its an inspiring book that has shook me out of the rut ive been in.
