    How have you utilized some of these tools in your own writing?

    I wrote a musical/cabaret about George Orwell, very much a proletarian tribute to the great man. I had no background at all in music but had loved/studied Dylan's writing since the 60s and then found an excellent musician to work with. The show played at Greenwich Theatre and then in a small but lovely space on Lower East Side two years later. Now I want to donate the show - script and nine original songs to anyone who wants to use it, theatre group/school or individual. I can send it all by email if anyone is interested. Came across this Dylan piece this morning and was inspired to write this. Best wishes from London, Peter.

    Wagon Wheel is a song Dylan only wrote the chorus to! It was a snippet of a chorus written in 1973. The story is the song is an atypical example of a Bob Dylan song…the verse lyrics and music was written by Ketch Secor of Old Crow Medicine show ..Darius Rucker covered it for a big hit.

    You say Bob Dylan "was" this and "was" that about his songwriting as if he isn't around anymore. Just two months ago he and his fine band finished the extended, and extended again, World tour to support the acclaimed Rough and Rowdy Ways record that was written largely during the pandemic, and he's on the Outlaws tour this summer. He put his full heart and soul into the performance throughout at the show I attended this past April. So he's definitely still around and is among the best at that. Thanks for the info tho, not trying to nitpick.

    Uh but Ketch Secor wrote the verses to Wagon Wheel though, so those aint Bobs words.

      I have definitely been learning that Dylan did a lot of derivative works based on other people's work.

      @@athomesongwriting . Totally, It's incredible how Bob was able to envision and breath new life into old bones until they're doin cartwheels. Yeah he may have Derived the "Rock me Mama" part from Lightnin' Hopkins. He didn't seem to finish the song and left it as a scrap with just a chorus and mostly incoherent verses found decades later by a guy from Old Crow who wrote his own verses..Fyi, anyhow. Yeah It's also amazing to me how little scraps we see of Bobs as well. He's a constant inspiration. Ps. I dig your analysis, keep up the good work.

    I don’t know how to tell you this, but the lyrics to Wagon Wheel are not written by Bob Dylan.
    The only part by him is the chorus. His lyrics are completely different and not fleshed out in the version he sang.

      @@athomesongwriting got about 10 minutes into this video thinking I would actually learn something from you, but you know nothing about Dylan and don't even like him! What makes you feel you're so qualified? I'll make a video about Paul McCartney's songwriting but only mention I want to hold your hand. Bob wrote songs with original topics and standard structure? Sure, as if half his catalogue doesn't apply to that statement.

      You can't be sued for raiding public domain material, but you can't copyright it unless you do something original with what you "borrow", so I guess he did. And anyone else can, too, so go for it!
