Interactive Map of Every Place That Bob Dylan Sang About

You can travel around the world with Bob Dylan, thanks to this interactive map created by Slate:

Bob Dylan’s music, it’s often said, happens in a world of its own—where the highway is for gamblers and you’re always 1,000 miles from home. It’s a surreal, ethereal realm, lawless but for chance, allusion, and rhyme.

And yet it is our world, because there's another, parallel tendency in Dylan’s songs: the direct place-name reference. Once the amateur Dylanologist tries to think of some, they flood the brain. “I’ll look for you in old Honolulu/ San Francisco, Ashtabula.” “Born in Red Hook, Brooklyn/ In the year of who knows when.”

Where would you go with Dylan?

When you're at an airport, especially a busy one, think of all the people that it takes to operate the system efficiently. They all need to get paid.
