Fanzines of Bob's have included: Isis/Wicked Messenger (est. 1985); On The Tracks/Series of Dreams; The Bridge (est.1998); and Freewheelin' (est. 1985).
Websites include:
www.bobdylan.com - the official site, which contains news, discographies, etc. It is better than most other Dylan sites because it has a lyric search-engine - 'type in a word or two of a half-remembered line, from even the most obscure Dylan song, and chances are that the entire lyric will come up' (Williamson 2006: 309) - and there are downloadable performances available which span most of his career.
www.expectingrain.com - one of the newer sites, which has a great news service that has links to newspaper and magazine articles (that have reference to Dylan) from all over the world. It also has a who's who of people who have 'come within his orbit' (Williamson 2000: 309), and - oddly - a compiled list of the jokes that Dylan made on stage from the late 90s onwards.
www.bobsboots.com - bills itself as 'The Bob Dylan Bootleg Museum': the definitive guide to unofficial recordings (with reviews of content and sound quality).
