Forever Young Bob: John Cohen's Early Photographs of Bob Dylan

These days, Bob Dylan scorns the camera (or claims to–who can explain that freaky Victoria’s Secret commercial?), but once upon a time he gladly tossed his winsome curls for the historical record. John Cohen, whose folk band the New Lost City Ramblers achieved success in the same New York music scene that nurtured the young Dylan in the sixties, had unparalleled access to his friend Dylan and other musical luminaries back then, and his photos capture a moment of music history that crackled with electricity years before Dylan actually plugged in. In conjunction with the show, the New Lost Minneapolis Ramblers–featuring Cohen along with Spider John Koerner, Tony Glover, and Paul Metsa–performs at Mayslack’s Bar on May 11. 1500 Jackson St. N.E., Minneapolis; 612-788-1790; www.iceboxminnesota.com
