| Barkley's live act includes cover versions of songs by the Violent Femmes and Metley CrAe, and a range of weird costumes that can take in ``Wizard of Oz'' characters or the Darth Vader outfit Green wore at the MTV Movie Awards. It sprang into being in "that noisy, murderous, idyllic summer of 1965"--the summer of the Watts riots, but also the summer smack-dab in the middle of what is now the most sentimentalized decade of the century--and continued, through the years ahead, to re-form itself in infinite ways, both in Dylan's subsequent readings of it and in various cover versions, grand and ridiculous alike. The cause is the protection of that imaginary piece of real estate known as "the public domain" and the "free culture" that has always, Lessig argues, been built upon and interleaved with it--the culture of transformative art, of sharing and borrowing and reborrowing and retransforming, of collages, cover versions, dramatizations, fictionalizations, and adaptations--the whole universe of ways new art builds upon and emerges from old. |
