This is the incredible story of how four young would-be bohemians met in Greenwich Village,fell in love,and changed the course of American music.
When Bob Dylan,aged twenty-five,wrecked his motorcycle near Woodstock in 1966 and disappeared from public view,he closed a chapter on one of the most fascinating stories in post-war cultural history.In just five years Dylan had become a spokesman for the counterculture; Greenwich Village had become the epicentre of youth style; and folk music - once played by earnest throwbacks - had been crossed with rock 'n' roll to form a thoughtful,literate new musical style.
A candid and often intimate account, 'POSITVELY 4th STREET' tells us the story of how folk became rock by looking at a group of young beatniks and their rise to fame.They were a colourful foursome: not only Dylan,but his part-time lover Joan Baez,her sister Mimi - beautiful,haunted,a musician in her own right - and Mimi's husband,Richard Farina,a novelist and songwriter who virtually invented the worldly-wise bohemian persona that Dylan lter made his own.
Through several hundred new interviews we are told of the musicians' rise from scruffy coffee-house folksingers to pop stars as the young Dylan has an affair with the famous Baez to further his career, Farina courts Mimi Baez while looking longingly at her older sister,and Farina's friend Thomas Pynchon kepps an eye on all their amours from afar.'POSITIVELY 4th STREET' is that rare book with a new story to tell about the 1960s.
