Aaron Brown, with wife Christina, was one of a small handful of Iron Range locals in charge of organizing Dylan Days every May.

Bob Dylan’s Hibbing

by Britt Aamodt HIBBING, MINN. – Every May, around Memorial Day, Hibbingites head for the cabin. The same weekend, out-of-state license plates prowl Howard Street and pull up at the high

school. Rental cars log hundreds of miles from airports to arrive at this destination on the Mesabi Iron Range, only a holler from the Canadian border. “Say whatever you like about Bob Dylan,” said Aaron Brown,

co-organizer of Dylan Days, “but for millions of people the word Hibbing will only escape their lips because of Bob Dylan.” The singer-songwriter wasn’t

May 2015

Outside Bob Dylan’s boyhood home. Husband and wife Bob Hocking and Linda Stroback ran Zimmey’s bar and restaurant for 30 years. Stroback, a Philadelphia native, thought it was crazy that no one was doing anything to recognize Hibbing’s most famous son. One winter, she went door to door and collected a thousand signatures to name the road where the Dylan house is located Bob Dylan Drive.

Hibbing High School was built with mining money and was completed in 1924. A New York Times reporter called the sumptuous building a “palace in the wilderness.” Dylan graduated in May 1959 and immediately hopped a Greyhound bus, another Hibbing business, for Minneapolis.

Suzie Spitzenberger, Elk River, planned her vacation around Dylan Days, toting her portfolio of 24 portraits of the singer. Of her interest in Dylan’s work, she said, “I needed something to latch onto, and his music was there. Everything he did was wonderful.” Her favorite song? “Born in Time.”

In 2014, David Kinney flew to Hibbing for Dylan’s birthday to promote his new book, Dylanologists, about Dylan fans. One fan, Bill Pagel, moved to Hibbing and bought the house behind Dylan’s boyhood home, with hopes of someday buying the Dylan house and converting it to a museum. Pagle also owns the Dylan property in Duluth.

Natalie Goldberg put it, this generation’s Shakespeare. As Brown noted, for most people, Hibbing only exists as a marker in the singer’s past. Because of that, every year, throughout

the year, fans make the pilgrimage. They come, said Brown, “because there’s something in the air that created a Bob

The Old Times the iron-mining town was Zimmy’s. “For 30 years it was you came to my door. You were a wayward traveler, and you came looking for Bob Dylan,” said Linda Stroback, Zimmy’s owner and Dylan Days organizer. Fans saw the Dylan pictures in the window, went inside and found out where to go to dig up their idol’s past. Once, Dylan’s mother Beatty came in. People told Stroback the parents might not be thrilled to see a restaurant named for Legend has it Dylan performed a mid-day concert on the auditorium stage their son.

The more famous a person is, the more rumors grow up around him. One rumor reports Dylan boasted to friends at the University of Minnesota that he had the biggest bar mitzvah Hibbing had ever seen. What can be documented is the location of the event, the Androy Hotel on Howard Street.

The Old Times

A fan visits the home where Dylan’s high school girlfriend, Echo Helstrom, grew up in what used to be the boondocks of Hibbing. Her family were hardscrabble Finns. Bob, Helstrom said, liked to come over and listen to her father’s record collection and sing songs around the campfire.

Dylan knew Red Rock Capital Advisors as L & B Café, his go-to spot for his favorite dessert, cherry pie à la mode. Echo Helstrom remembers the night she met Dylan. He was standing in the intersection and playing guitar in the snow. She went into the café and he followed. They talked for a while and discovered they liked the same music—music most people in Hibbing knew nothing about.

“As ear-appealing as she is an eyeful.” Abbe Lane With Xavier Cugat’s Orchestra. $5-10.

by Donald-Brian Johnson The lights are low. The shag carpet’s lush. The gleam from a crackling fireplace reflects off leather sofas and burnished wood. The drinks are cold, and the hi-fi’s humming. It’s the early 1960s, and the “bachelor pad” beckons. If you’re a fan of that TV phenom, Mad Men, the scene strikes a resonant chord. Now in its final season, the series spends most of its time exploring the angst-ridden lives of ’60s-era ad industry personnel. But it’s the picture-perfect stylistic recreations that have been the real attentiongrabbers. The 1960s were a far different time, with far different interpretations of the roles of men and women. The bachelor pad was where the single-young-man-onthe-move could indulge his cosmopolitan

“Swingy and stimulating” jazz takes on ballad standards. Rendezvous with Kenton was recorded at the Rendezvous Ballroom in Balboa, Calif., where Stan Kenton first “blazed into musical prominence.” $3-5.

As popular today as he was in the ’60s, unassumingly hilarious comedian Bob Newhart entitled his debut album The Button-Down Mind Of Bob Newhart. $5-10.

“There’s a swinging side to Nat.” Welcome To The Club, a jazz-influenced, big-band-backed release by Nat “King” Cole, one of the most popular crooners of the 1950s and ’60s. $5-10.

“The natives regard her as a reincarnation of Xtabay, lovely and mysterious woman of Incan legend.” Well, you be the judge. The freakishly varied vocals of Yma Sumac, the height of bachelor pad exotica, on The Voice Of The Xtabay. $15-20.

“Great folk themes that are immortal and timeless” as interpreted by Harry Belafonte in one of his earliest albums. $5-10.

“exotica” capitalizing on the popularity of faraway places; “party records,” and that onlyof-its-time jawdropper, the “cheesecake album.” Whether a sultry, cheesecake songstress actually possessed any vocal abilities was beside the point.

well-stocked bar, and, most importantly, the right records. An eclectic assortment was available “for your listening, dancing, and romancing pleasure.” There were jazz greats, crooners, and songbirds; “easy listening” albums, the perfect counterpoint to clinking glasses and tinkling conversation;

They sang, too? Jed, Granny and the rest of the cast (even “Miss Jane”) from the ’60s TV hit The Beverly Hillbillies lift their voices in uneven song. $15-20.

Mansfield even turned out Shakespeare, Tchaikovsky & Me, breathlessly reciting poetry over the strains of classical music. Some, like Julie London, had plenty of talent to go with the good looks. Although possessing what she

described as “a thimbleful of a voice,” London’s intimate vocalizations proved ideal for the recording studio. Adding to the allure: her abundant red St. Croix Valley Map hair and languid good 1-18-07

looks, photographed to maximum effect. When the time came to roll up the rug for a bit of pre-twist dancing, old favorites like The Three Suns (“Mamie Eisenhower’s favorite recording group”) and “Lawrence Welk And His Champagne Music” (“whether your party is for two dozen or simply two”) were just a platter-drop away. Album covers often featured exuberant partygoers dressed to the nines. For the men, skinny ties and

elegantly tailored suits. For the ladies, cocktail dresses, beehive hairdos, and sparkling jewelry. At bachelor pad parties, the guests put in an effort. Party records got the guys and gals talking. Sophisticates reveled in the selfeffacing stammer of rising young comic Bob Newhart and his “button-down mind.” A lot further down the good taste scale was Rusty Warren, whose racy songs and blushinducing comedy Torch Time with Gogi Grant. Gogi “reaches into routines elicited plenty the heart of the listener with warmth and sympathy.” $5-10.

of nervous giggles. Specialty albums, pulled out for their ohmy-gosh entertainment value, included Yma Sumac “the voice of Duluth’s Newest & Finest Multi-Dealer Mall

the Xtabay.” Yma’s voice ranged from a husky baritone to a twittering birdlike soprano. Although billed as “a descendant of the last of the Incan kings” who “spent her childhood talking with the birds, the beasts, the winds,” there were doubters. Was Yma really just quirkyvoiced Brooklyn housewife Amy Camus? (That’s “Yma Sumac” spelled backwards.) It made for interesting party chatter.

Hillbillies Sing. (Yes, they really made an album.) It’s easy to chuckle over what now seems camp, but during the Mad Men days, these records were what America was buying. They accurately reflect the tastes and trends of the times. So why not pick up one of these ’60s soundbite souvenirs and give it a spin? You’ll be on your way to outfitting that bachelor (or bachelor girl) pad. Cool!

Lots of fine furniture, Victorian lighting, stained glass. Huge Red Wing inventory, fabulous art work by noted artists, beer memorabilia & Man-Cave items. Old West & Native American items and 19th century billiard tables.

The Old Times

When spectators go on parade Still Parade has offered a most unusual event—a parade that remains stationary while spectators walk around, in front of, behind, and sometimes even through it. Why a “stand still” parade? The town’s main street, sitting just off the banks of the winding Root River in southeastern Minnesota’s scenic Bluff Country, is about three blocks and change. If you’re going to have a parade in Whalan, this is really the only way to do it. “People love the Stand Still Parade,”

gon.” This really is a parade, with a grand marshal waving from an antique car (a ’32 Duisenberg was a favorite), an honor guard of veterans in vintage uniforms hoisting American flags, fire trucks, floats, music, horses, and a local politician or two. Kids get candy, but they have to walk up to the fire truck to get it. And there’s a big crowd—who cheerfully does all the mov-

The Old Times

The first robin is no longer the harbinger of spring would have concentrated on the even greater pull of used merchandise laid out in a cold garage. Despite the danger, The Man I Married and I fling ourselves out into the chilly morning, heading for the first garage sales of the year. Naturally, there are cars parked, double parked, and abandoned in the middle of the street at every location. At the first sale, TMIM pulled partially into the seller’s driveway to let me off, intending to back out and park wherever he could find a space. The garage sale husband came running up, brandishing a bat, bellowing, “No

parking in the driveway!” “He’s just letting me off!” I holler back, leaping out of my seat. “Get off! Get off!” the man, snarled viciously thumping his bat on the fender of the truck. TMIM backed out with a screech, and the truck headed down the block with my purse dangling from the door handle. “What? Was he just letting you out?” said the man. “Yes!” I sputtered indignantly. “I hope you have insurance to cover the damage you did to the truck!” “All of these people make me a little

Much of the soft merchandise was collected in brown grocery bags with prices for the whole bag. I started examining the contents of a bag to see what was in it. The garage sale wife rushed over, nudged me out of the way, and began pawing around in the bag. “This is a good one,” she said. “There’s quilt fabric and ribbons and some of this and a lot of these pretty things and all for two dollars.”

By Joan Sween The lady next to me started looking in another bag. The wife grabbed it, stuck her arm in and chirped, “This is another great bag. There are these lovely crocheted items and five pieces of porcelain and these spoons. Aren’t they lovely?” “I don’t know,” said the lady customer, “all I can see is your elbow.” “Oh, oh, oh, oh,” said the wife. “Sorry, sorry. So many people here, you know, I get a little excitable. You just look for yourself.” By now, TMIM had parked the truck and

was looking at a box of DVDs. “Hey, what’re you doing?” said a teenaged boy, shoving through the crowd and grabbing up the box. “Mother! You can’t sell my DVDs!” “Sweetheart, you went through your collection and said we could sell these.” “Yeah, well, that was before I saw all the people that wanted them!” He rushed back into the house, clutching his box of DVDs. “Let’s get out of here,” said TMIM, grabbing my hand and pulling me out of the mass of humanity like a cork from a wine bottle. Halfway down the driveway, he looked to his left, pulled me into a faster gear and shouted, “Run!” I looked where he was looking and saw a stampede of figures running full tilt in the direction of the sale. “Are those bulls?” I

by Joan Sween Spring gives birth to a movement that is more frightening than the bulls running at Pamplona, more frantic than squirrels racing each other up and down trees hoping to score. It is the annual rush of first garage sales. In our town, the first few weeks of garage sale season are dangerous, with 2,000 shoppers flocking to the handful of garage sales brave enough to face the weather and run up their doors.
