Empire Burlesque

February 8th, 2010

This word cloud comes from the Bob Dylan album, Empire Burlesque.

It’s the top 100 words used throughout the album and set to the same colors as the album cover. Large version is here.

The story: I regularly analyze Bob Dylan’s lyrics and thought it would be a cool exercise to see what words he uses most often. It helps to get in the mind of the writer.
