My Days With Dylan
On Sunday December 5, the event “Bob Dylan and the Band: What Kind of Love is This?” sponsored by the Forward, celebrates one of rock and roll’s most powerful collaborations. A symposium at the 14th St Y — where an exhibition of Dylan memorabilia and photographs by William G. Scheele (a road manager for The Band and Bob Dylan from 1969 to 1976) is on display — will be followed by a concert at Le Poisson Rouge. Greil Marcus, one of the panelists at the symposium and a preeminent Bob Dylan writer, spoke to the Forward about his time with Dylan.
"Why I became the Forward’s Editor-in-Chief"
You are surely a friend of the Forward if you’re reading this. And so it’s with excitement and awe — of all that the Forward is, was, and will be — that I introduce myself to you as the Forward’s newest editor-in-chief.
And what a time to step into the leadership of this storied Jewish institution! For 129 years, the Forward has shaped and told the American Jewish story. I’m stepping in at an intense time for Jews the world over. We urgently need the Forward’s courageous, unflinching journalism — not only as a source of reliable information, but to provide inspiration, healing and hope.
Support our mission to tell the Jewish story fully and fairly.
