Dylan’s back pages

Share

Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, is that the actual tambourine that Greenwich Village guitarist Bruce Langhorne owned, the one that inspired the song? And how about the 1961 concert poster advertising Bob Dylan tickets for $2? That lyric from “Walkin’ Down the Line” comes to mind: “The money comes and goes and rolls and flows. . . .”

Dylan is museum material now, and the Experience Music Project’s traveling show “Bob Dylan’s American Journey, 1956-1966” has come to town for its final stop. The display of memorabilia, instruments, lyrics, photographs and other Dylanalia from his early years gets an added feature at the Skirball Cultural Center: an interactive studio where visitors can play and mix.

The show is on view through June 8. Information is available at www.skirball.org.
