Music magic By John Cusatis . Dressed in black down to his boot heels, shrieking mad ly beneath the bright lights and singing with such intensi ty that appears as if he will explode ,any second, Bob Dylan at age forty still has the crowd on their feet. The enigmatic artist, whose many transitions have helped to revolutionize rock music, is now performing what he calls "healing music" lust another side of Bob Dylan. The success of Dylan's recent European and U.S. tour is evidence that the musical legend lives on. While his contemporaries were singing of the perfect teenage lover, Dylan emerg- . ed on the scene singing-for a frustrated society who had best realize that "The Times They Are A-Changin" and "A Hard Rains a-gonna Fall." The biting, lyrics he spit out with his raspy young voice aroused the consciousness of his listeners, and when he abandoned his acoustic guitar for a Fender Strat, he in troduced his poetry to rock 'n' roll. Dylan's music was soon recognized as a fine art form, as he strung myth and metaphor into poetic lines ADVANCED TECHNICAL TRAINING Today's United States Navy has a multitude of excellent job opportunities with advanced technical training provided.

IT'S AN ADVENTURE which he brought to life with the electricity of rock 'n' roll and the magnitude of his voice. Whether Dylan is singing about "Mr, Jones," "Joey" or Jesus, his songs are delivered with the same energy. Dylan's new music is no less interesting than hiaearly pro test songs; his. bitter love songs, or his melodramatic masterpieces of the sixties. Dylan's latest album, "Shot of Love," offers a fine array of lyrical and =Meal talent. The influence of Christianity is less evident on this album and the voice of the outraged artist once again rings true. In "Heart of Mine" (which features Ron Wood and Ringo Starr) Dylan is steering clear of the fraudulent female he warned us about in "Just Like a Woman" and "You're a Big Girl Now." Dylan's rage strikes like lightning in "Trouble," a hypnotic-rocker with cries of a paranoia reminiscent of his "Highway 61" days. "Dead Man, Dead Man," a reggae-type number, expresses Dylan's disdain for peoples lifelessness, a theme he satarized in "Desolation Row" and "Ballad of a Thin 1E800E6924800 Man." In the past Dylan saluted Woody Guthrie and Hurricane Carter; now he hails Lenny Bruce in a long ballad. Dylan sought the cosmic utopia in "Mr. Tam bourine Man" but nearly twenty years later seems to have reached contentment in "Every Grain of Sand." Bob Dylan has always been a mystical, reclusive artist hoping to inspire his listeners. The man who warned "Don't Follow Leaders and Watch Your Parking Meters" is tell ing us we "Gotta Serve Somebody." Though he always said "It Ain't Me Babe," Dylan has been quite a servant, a troubador of a generation. "There is enough so-called music out there which is sick music. It is made by sick people to fur ther a whole world of sickness, and we are all sick," says Dylan. Fortunate ly, Bob Dylan's music is ar tistic and entertaining and he's still pressing on and con tinuously reminding us that the troubador is not to be silenced.
