To celebrate the 50th anniversary of Amnesty International, the human rights
organization has compiled Chimes of Freedom: The Songs of Bob Dylan, featuring new
and previously-recorded songs written by the music icon. The first track, "One Too
Many Mornings," was created by producer Rick Rubin and features Johnny Cash and the
Avett Brothers on a track the Man in Black originally recorded decades before.
Other country-related tracks featured on the Dylan tribute album include Dierks
Bentley's live version of "Senor (Tales of Yankee Power)" and Sugarland's live
rendition of "Tonight I'll Be Staying Here With You," along with Lucinda Williams'
"Tryin' to Get to Heaven" and Miley Cyrus' "You're Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You
Go." Sting, My Morning Jacket, Lenny Kravitz, Jackson Browne, Ke$ha and Diana Krall
also contributed tracks to the project.

as a performing artist, she plays the part of a drunk slut. who knows, maybe
thats what she really is. but just like joey ramone, there's some other shit
going on too.

“I was this weird paradox of a person [in high school]. I was in the marching
band, and I played music in a really cool punk band with the hot seniors, and
I’d write bratty pop songs,” she says. But Ke$ha was also a certified genius,
with an IQ over 140 and an SAT score of 1500. “I would drive to the local college
and take classes on Cold War history, just for fun,” she admits.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Anyone who ever doubted the transformative power of Bob Dylan's music need only look to Ke$ha.
Yes, Ke$ha.
The irreverent pop star known for singing about brushing her teeth with "a bottle of Jack" turns poignant while covering a song from one of music's great lyricists on the new four-disc "Chimes of Freedom: The Songs of Bob Dylan Honoring 50 Years of Amnesty International." The project features 75 newly recorded Dylan songs by 80 artists, including Adele, Sting, Sugarland, Elvis Costello, hip-hop artist K'naan and others to support the human rights organization.
Ke$ha is one of the more unlikely stars to contribute to the compilation, released Tuesday. The pop star defined by party anthems like "Tik Tok" and "Your Love Is My Drug" took on Dylan's "Don't Think Twice, It's Alright." As she found herself alone in her bedroom for the first time in months, the words of the song — about a person bidding goodbye to a lover — took on a new, deeply personal meaning. She realized she was saying goodbye to her carefree, former life — before big hits and world tours brought on pressure and priorities. She broke down as she began singing, and the emotion is captured on the record.
"Everything has changed. It's amazing, but there are moments that are incredibly lonely. This caught me at one of those incredibly lonely moments, and it really struck home. There's a line, 'It's a long and lonesome road, babe, where I'm bound I can't tell.' It's tragically relevant," said Ke$ha in a phone interview. "I think these are all positive things for young people to see that you can be strong and you can be irreverent and you can say what you want and you have the freedom of speech, but I've learned that vulnerability is actually an asset. It can be just as much of an asset as strength."
Ke$ha isn't the only eye-popping name on the compilation: Nineteen-year-old Miley Cyrus does a rendition of "You're Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go." The project has a wide range of acts, from Maroon 5 to 92-year-old folk legend Pete Seeger, who sings "Forever Young" with a children's chorus. Dylan waived the publishing rights to his entire catalog, and all of the artists, musicians, engineers and others involved in the recording process did everything pro-bono.
Aerosmith guitarist Joe Perry, who recorded "Man of Peace," describes it as "thin ice" to cover an artist as iconic as Dylan, because not only are his songs brilliant, but his performances of those songs have become so revered themselves.
"(Artists like Dylan) know where (the songs) live and breathe and where the heartbeat is. So covering them can be a touchy thing," said Perry, who recorded the Dylan song "Man of Peace." ''Hopefully you don't make it different just for the sake of making it different. I just wanted to kind of reinterpret my take on the song and just have fun singing it."
Legendary country artist and actor Kris Kristofferson considers Dylan a personal friend but says he's been an inspiration and a hero a lot longer than that. Johnny Cash introduced them while Kristofferson was working as a janitor at Columbia Recording Studios in Nashville in the 1960s. At 75, Kristofferson says he has been around long enough to understand and appreciate Dylan's impact on music.
"If you look at pop songs before Dylan, none of them were poetry like his are. He opened up the doors for creative writers and made songwriting to me what it is today," said Kristofferson, who covers "Quinn the Eskimo (The Mighty Quinn)." ''Music was a whole lot different when I was a little kid. Pop music was lifted up as an art form by Bob Dylan."
British pop singer Natasha Bedingfield recorded "Ring Them Bells" in Nashville during her U.S. tour last year. She said she used to listen to it as a kid with her brother and sister.
"To me the song is about freedom, 'Ring them bells for the blind and the deaf, for the innocent,'" she said. "For me it felt quite poignant, particularly for this album, where Amnesty is all about people who are being unjustly treated."
"Chimes of Freedom" is a follow up to Amnesty International's 2007 collection of John Lennon songs performed by major artists, called "Instant Karma," which raised over $4 million for their efforts in Darfur.
"Music has been at the heart of so many movements for change," said Julie Yannatta, who served as the album's executive producer with Jeff Ayeroff. "Music has a way of reminding us who we are at our essence and what we need to do to live together in a better world, and Amnesty is very much a part of that."
The album will be available internationally on Jan. 30.

Just for the record, my initial comment about the Miley pictures was just for a laugh. I was not implying any kind of puritanical shock that she can't grow up and have "adult" fun. Sadly, as for the second quote I pasted, I wouldn't be surprised to see every bit of that come true. I just hope she doesn't slide down the path of so many child stars who can't control the partying, etc, until we read that she's in and out of rehabs and all messed up. It happens to too many of them. I wish her well.

Ha! The news failed to mention the inside info that the penis cake was packed with multiple packets of Keith Richards quality cocaine and heroin!

Well if the size of the penis (cake) is any indication, she's in for a rough ride. peace

Everything Miley does these days is just a calculated effort to shrug off the Disney image and transition into the "bad girl" role. When these various pictures/videos of her doing "bad things" come out, I would bet my bottom dollar the whole thing was orchestrated. If she were really trying to hang onto the wholesome Disney image she wouldn't be caught doing something every other week. She wants to transition from being a Disney product into an actual adult artist along the lines of Madonna, and the quickest way to do that is to destroy the wholesome image. It all appears to be very orchestrated and intentional to me.

As far as the Bob Dylan cover goes, it can't be any worse than her cover of Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit"

Do you really think it's intentional, Nocode? This seems like some kind of pattern. I remember that Britney Spears had a somewhat religious image at first - she was preaching "no sex before marriage". The next year she toured the world with an image and a show that could be described as pornographic. Some kind of strange cultural phenomena? First Disney, then porn?

Not necessarily a "phenomena", just the natural progression of these types of artists and having to grow with their audience. These kids start out young, and have to be "wholesome" so the mommies and daddies will buy the music/merchandise for their little princesses. Once the artists core audience starts getting older (as does the artist) they have to shed the wholesome Disney image in order to keep going. Just like many actors go to extremes and take on opposite roles to keep from being typecast, the natural thing for a teeny-bopper artist to do in order to show how grown up they are is to go all in risque.

the cake looks more like a turducken than a penis...

now i definintely will not buy it

Whoa. Am I the only one who had to look up what a turducken is? I'm thinking it's some sort of medieval weapon but the real answer was even more revolting. Enough to make me re-consider vegatarianism actually. Too many birds and none with wings...chef's with too much time on their hands , something.

Kinda reminds me of the guy who is always on the sidewalk in downtown Telluride during the summer festival there. He has a mouse who lays on a cat who in turn lays on a dog , all three happy and content. peace

Yeah - the turduken concept is pretty weird - until I moved to Memphis, I'd never heard of one either - but that's life on the "buckle of the bible belt" things get a little STRANGE; but has Hunter advises..."When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro." HA - and yeah - I've seen the dog/cat/mouse guy - it's a living

Nope, I didnt know either... so I reluctantly looked it up...
I was happy it didnt have to do with turds...but the answer
was actually not much better.... I believe it exists..but I have no idea why.

I mean I have heard of stuffed chicken breasts....
but to stuff an entire duck inside of a.... ah anyway.... weird....

It reminds of an old songs from childhood... about an old woman who swallowed a fly...


"There Was An Old Woman"

There was an old woman who swallowed a fly,
I don't know why she swallowed a fly,
Perhaps she'll die.

There was an old woman who swallowed a spider,
That wriggled and jiggled and tickled inside her,
She swallowed the spider to catch the fly,
I don't know why she swallowed the fly,
Perhaps she'll die.

There was an old woman who swallowed a bird,
How absurd! to swallow a bird,
She swallowed the bird to catch the spider,
That wriggled and jiggled and tickled inside her,
She swallowed the spider to catch the fly,
I don't know why she swallowed the fly,
Perhaps she'll die.

There was an old woman who swallowed a cat,
Imagine that! to swallow a cat,
She swallowed the cat to catch the bird,
She swallowed the bird to catch the spider,
That wriggled and jiggled and tickled inside her,
She swallowed the spider to catch the fly,
I don't know why she swallowed the fly,
Perhaps she'll die.

There was an old woman who swallowed a dog,
What a hog! to swallow a dog,
She swallowed the dog to catch the cat,
She swallowed the cat to catch the bird,
She swallowed the bird to catch the spider,
That wriggled and jiggled and tickled inside her,
She swallowed the spider to catch the fly,
I don't know why she swallowed the fly,
Perhaps she'll die.

There was an old woman who swallowed a goat,
Just opened her throat! to swallow a goat,
She swallowed the goat to catch the dog,
She swallowed the dog to catch the cat,
She swallowed the cat to catch the bird,
She swallowed the bird to catch the spider,
That wriggled and jiggled and tickled inside her,
She swallowed the spider to catch the fly,
I don't know why she swallowed the fly,
Perhaps she'll die.

There was an old woman who swallowed a cow,
I don't know how she swallowed a cow!
She swallowed the cow to catch the goat,
She swallowed the goat to catch the dog,
She swallowed the dog to catch the cat,
She swallowed the cat to catch the bird,
She swallowed the bird to catch the spider,
That wriggled and jiggled and tickled inside her,
She swallowed the spider to catch the fly,
I don't know why she swallowed the fly,
Perhaps she'll die.

There was an old woman who swallowed a horse,
She's dead—of course!
