THE CORE MEANING OF DYLAN'S POETRY REVEALED FOR THE FIRST TIME

Future literary historians will realize two things: That Bob Dylan is the
Whitman or Sandberg of his generation and that the relationship between A.J.
Weberman and Dylan was similar to that of the relationship between Paul Verlaine
and the opium smoking Arthur Rimbaud. Weberman is Bob Dylan's toughest critic
(Verlaine shot Rimbaud over an argument about poetry) and is also Dylan's most
vocal advocate when it comes to demonstrating the genius of Dylan's poetry.

To prove his contention he has written the Bob Dylan To English Dictionary that
translates about 800 words from the poetic language Dylan has developed into
everyday English. When a translated word appears in the same sentence, verse or
paragraph next to a string of already translated words all these translated
words make sense within the logic inherent in language forming a coherent
thought and parallel the contemporaneous events in Dylan's life at the time the
poem was composed. AJ Weberman has unearthed a degree of consistency in Dylan's
use of words that can only be intentional and has done what no one has done
before - made public the metaphorical and allegorical meaning of Dylan's poetry
with a high degree of accuracy. If you don't have a copy of this book you can
click http://dylanology.com/sample.pdf for a taste but you got to look at the
work in its totality to judge the degree of consistency that has been carefully
contrived by Robert Allen Zimmerman, boy genius. AJ has unzipped his poetry just
as one would unzip a compressed file, using a certain formula known as the
Dylanological Method, which he reformulated while doing a federal prison
sentence (his dog bit a mailman) since AJ had "time to think about it for
awhile" (Dylan, When The Night Comes Falling From the Sky 1985). This is
Weberman's contribution to American Literature, although he will probably be
remembered for his having originated garbology, a now widely accepted
journalistic technique. "The perfect book for Dylan fanatics." --Paul Krassner,
author of One Hand Jerking: Reports From an Investigative Satirist



A.J. Weberman is best known for his analysis of Dylan's garbage and for having
been beaten up mercilessly by Bob Dylan on Elizabeth Street in Manhattan in the
early 1970's. Dylan viewed this incident as the "laughter down on Elizabeth
Street / And a lonesome bell tone in that valley of stone / where [he] bathed in
a stream of pure heat" (Where Are You Tonight, 1978). A.J. is featured on Joel
Gilbert's DVD Bob Dylan World Tours 1966 to 1974, and will appear on Gilbert's
next DVD. Chromedreams in the UK released Weberman's legendary telephone
conversations with Dylan. Rolling Stone Books will soon publish an interview
Weberman did with Dylan. Weberman was a character in Don DeLillo's Underworld,
"Detwiler had been a fringe figure in the sixties, a garbage guerilla who stole
and analyzed the household trash of a number of famous people. He issued
mock-comintern manifestos about the contents, with personal asides, and the
underground press was quick to print this stuff. His activities had a crisp
climax when he was arrested for snatching the garbage of J. Edgar Hoover from
the rear of the Director's house in northwest Washington and this is what people
remembered" and he his featured in Mark Jacobson's book, Teenage Hipster in the
Modern World. AJ is mentioned in numerous articles and books about Bob Dylan and
an independent film company in the UK is currently putting together The Ballad
of AJ Weberman. AJ is the author of My Life In Garbology (Stonehill Press, 1980)
and Coup D'Etat In America: The CIA and the Assassination of JFK (The Third
Press, 1975, Quick Publishing Co 1992). The latter book is in its fourth edition
and also available from amazon.com as is The Dylan To English Dictionary. Joan
Baez related in NO DIRECTION HOME: "Dylan would always say, 'What do you think
of this?' 'I didn't understand the thing at all but I loved it so I said, 'Okay,
I'm gonna figure this one out.' So I read it and gave back my interpretation of
what it was about and he said, 'That's pretty fuckin' good.' And he said 'Years
from now all these people, all these assholes, are going to be writing about all
the shit I write...and what it means.'"
