The poetry community writerslounge.net is currently featuring Bob Dylan in their first poetry special. Registered writers can upload and publish their Dylan-related poem for free. You can post your personal appreciation in the form of a poem, just like Dylan himself did in 1962 for one of his idols, Woody Guthrie, in “Song to Woody”. Or you can submit a poem or even song lyrics that you might have written in reference to Dylan’s life or work.- Participate here!
In cooperation with writerslounge.net the best poem(s) – that’s the ones that receive the highest rating by readers – will also be published and promoted on positively-bobdylan.com.
In December 2008 a new Bob Dylan song rating website launched its beta version: tweedlr.com – named after “Tweedle Dee & Tweedle Dum”, the opening track on 2001’s “Love & Theft” album. The main part of tweedlr is a rating chart of the Top 100 Bob Dylan songs on officially released albums. Each song can directly be rated on this list, where each user can once rate each song with a maximum of 5 stars. You also see the average rating and the number of people who already rated the song. Each individual rating is saved, so if you return to the site you will see your previous ratings. In case the song you’re looking for is not in the Top 100 list yet, you can find it using the song search bar.
By clicking on a song title you will get a full details page, including the possibility to post a comment on that song. Also music videos are embedded many times as well. If you’re using iTunes, then you can click on a special iTunes link to get an audio sample of the song and the option to purchase the song on the iTunes music store.
Several hundreds of users have submitted their ratings and posted their comments on tweedlr.com so far, and it’s already the biggest single Bob Dylan music rating community on the web. The site is still running as a beta version, so we’re all looking forward to new features in the near future. Positively-BobDylan.com says: tweedlr.com is the website of the month!
