The Monday Morning Memo

The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan was released in May, 1963 

by Columbia Records. It was his first commercial success. 
(Dylan’s debut album had sold only 5,000 copies. 
As a result, he was nearly released by the record company.)
“When the Jester sang for the King and Queen
In a coat he borrowed from James Dean…”

Dean’s movie,
Rebel Without a Cause,

was the story of a rebellious teenager 
who arrives at a new high school, meets a girl,
disobeys his parents and defies the local school bullies.
The title was adopted from psychiatrist Robert M. Lindner’s 1944 book,
Rebel Without a Cause: The Hypnoanalysis of a Criminal Psychopath. 

Warner Bros. released the film on October 27, 1955,
one month after Dean’s fatal car crash.
