Lebowski festival bowls over fans

In fact organisers estimate that the film was responsible for 500 new families moving to the city. The fan club for the 1980 Christopher Reeve time-travel love story Somewhere in Time organises an annual October gathering in Michigan at the film’s setting: Mackinac Island’s Grand Hotel. In Australia a touring Blues Brothers band performs music from the 1980 John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd film. Jenkins attributes the boom in fan culture largely to the web which empowers aficionados to network and exchange ideas. Indeed untold numbers of cult-movie discussion boards or MySpace tribute pages span cyberspace and allow fans to connect in unprecedented ways. But the Lebowski convention started off-line. Six years ago two friends selling posters at an extreme tattoo and piercing convention in Kentucky began quoting lines from The Big Lebowski to pass the time.

And nothing could be further from the truth with Dylan getting a Pulitzer Award citation this year for his “profound impact on popular music and American culture”. It is only of late that the lyrical works of composers are being Pulitzer worthy. Though there has always been a prize for music the only genre that was deemed to be worthy of the prestigious institution has been classical music. Way back in 2004 at a seminar “Shifting Ears: A Symposium on the Present State and Future of Classical Music Criticism” sponsored by the Music Critics Association of North America and the National Arts Journalism program at Columbia University the expansion of Pulitzer’s said horizons were eagerly debated by a panel that consisted of Joshua Kosman classical music critic of the San Francisco Chronicle a Pulitzer Prize administrator Sig Gissler; a Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Gunther Schuller and writer Patrick Smith. During much of the symposium they talked about Dylan’s contribution to the music scene and American popular culture in general. Dylan’s contribution to the counterculture movement has been written about endlessly. From the time he burst on to the scene in the early sixties Dylan made a powerful impact on cultural conscience of the nation… ” And then just as people got a groove on his “magic swirling ship” Dylan did the unthinkable and turned up in dark glasses and went electric. Quite a few of Dylan’s songs like Blowing in the Wind All Along The Watchtower Like A Rolling Stone Knocking on Heaven’s Door have been covered by artists like Pearl Jam Jimi Hendrix Guns ’n’ Roses and The Dave Mathew’s Band. Subterranean Homesick Blues is another great Dylan track that stands testament his ability to bring structure and form to a random jumble of words. The video for this song in D. Pennebaker’s film Don’t Look Back is a seminal rock video. Closer to home Bob Dylan fans can expect euphoric Dylan-esque experiences with our very own Indian Bob Dylan Lou Majaw who is sure to play a few gigs and concerts to celebrate the rocker’s citation.
