Surfacing for the first time after more than forty years,'Hollywood Foto-Rhetoric' is a remarkable,long- lost manuscript written by Bob Dylan in the 1960's,inspired by renowned photographer Barry Feinstein's portraits of Tinseltown.These twenty-three prose poems are thought-provoking,witty,and thoroughly unexpected observations of a bygone era,and through the lens of Feinstein's camera they speak volumes about the faces and places that have graced the City of Angels.Images like those of Judy Garland, Marlene Dietrich,and Steve McQueen resonate with our collective memory,while photographs of hopeful starlets,movie studio backlots,and sunny,palm tree'd boulevards evoke the timeless allure of all things Hollywood. 'Hollywood Foto-Rhetoric' marks a unique collaboration: With his unerring eye,Barry Feinstein captured unforgettable moments in stunning black-and-white,such as Marilyn Monroe's swimming pool on the day she died,and Frank Sinatra celebrating at John F. Kennedy's Inaugural Ball.In the provocative accompanying text,Bob Dylan's quixotic,expressive lyricism redefines silver screen nostalgia. Bob Dylan is one of the most influential figures in the history of popular music,having released forty-four albums including his most recent number one release,'Modern Times' (then 2008). Author of the critically acclaimed 'Chronicles',Dylan continues to tour extensively and is the host of XM Satellite Radio's Theme Time Radio Hour. Barry Feinstein's photography has appeared in 'Life', 'Look','Time','Esquire','Newsweek',and scores of other magazines and album covers.His photographs of Bob Dylan,George Harrison, Janis Joplin,and others are considered classics of the genre.
