Notes
See the article “Against the Stars” in Kaliflower, volume 3, for a resonant parallel to the idea behind this piece.
Abstract
This visually dense and sardonic broadside stages yet another symbolic death of Bob Dylan, not as obituary but as cultural exorcism. Through fractured typed verse, repeated funerary invocation, and biomorphic red-and-black imagery, it turns Dylan into a contested emblem—murdered, dispersed, and reclaimed by the overlapping projections of hip society, messianic longing, and psychic theater. The piece reads less as commentary on the man himself than as an attack on the making and unmaking of celebrity within the counterculture.
