A tour de force of storytelling years in the making: a dual biography of two of the greatest songwriters, Bob Dylan and Woody Guthrie, that is also a murder mystery and a history of labor relations and socialism, big business and greed in twentieth-century America—woven together in one epic saga that holds meaning for all working Americans today.When thirteen-year-old Daniel Wolff first heard Bob Dylan’s "Like a Rolling Stone," it ignited a life-long interest in understanding the rock poet’s anger. When he later discovered "Song to Woody," Dylan’s tribute to his hero, Woody Guthrie, Wolff believed he’d uncovered one source of Dylan’s rage. Sifting through Guthrie’s recordings, Wolff found "1913 Massacre"—a song which told the story of a union Christmas party during a strike in Calumet, Michigan, in 1913 that ended in horrific tragedy. Following the trail from Dylan to Guthrie to an event that claimed the lives of seventy-four men, women, and children a century ago, Wolff found himself tracing the history of an anger that has been passed down for decades. From America’s early industrialized days, an epic battle to determine the country’s direction has been waged, pitting bosses against workers and big business against the labor movement. In Guthrie’s eyes, the owners ultimately won; the 1913 Michigan tragedy was just one example of a larger lost history purposely distorted and buried in time. In this magnificent cultural study, Wolff braids three disparate strands—Calumet, Guthrie, and Dylan—together to create a devastating revisionist history of twentieth-century America. Grown-Up Anger chronicles the struggles between the haves and have-nots, the impact changing labor relations had on industrial America, and the way two musicians used their fury to illuminate economic injustice and inspire change.

I've read many books on Dylan, quite a bit by and about Guthrie, and studied--years ago--the history of labor and socialism in the US in the 19th and 20th centuries. That's the background of my appreciation of Wolff's book, which I consider brilliant. He set himself a daunting task, and achieved its goals with fine success, intertwining labor history, Guthrie's story (and songwriting development), and Dylan's early story (and songwriting development up to "Like A Rolling Stone") with elegance and great storytelling drive. Griel Marcus's blurb on the book is accurate--the pages seem to turn themselves, the narrative is so well-written and exciting--all presuming the topics are of interest to one. There is a chapter on the development of Dylan's songs and recordings from his third LP ("The Times They Are A-Changin'") thorugh his fifth ("Bringing It All Back Home") that tells of that trajectory more concisely, accurately, and illuminatingly than, in my fairly well-read-on-Dylan experience, has ever been done. As Dylan listeners know, that is THE period of development in his songwriting that counts most of all. And overall, while I wouldn't call the book "revisionist history" as some have done, it lives up to the promise in its subtitle: it explains elements of the "mysteries" of Guthrie and Dylan, as well as delving into the "mystery" of what happened in the Calumet tragedy of 1913, and ties these all together, in a surprisingly insightful and convincing way.
