I’m a fan of the show. I love the mix and some of the odd content Dylan adds. He has a tendency to repeat the songs’s lyrics which at first struck me as somewhat annoying, but I got over it. Anyone interested in American Music of the recording age will love this program.

I lost interest in Dylan after his blaming turned dour and glum in the early 80’s, but hearing this extraordinary radio show has resurrected my faith. Is there any popular song in English this man has not heard? How can he remember so much? And his voice! God, no wonder he turned Biblical–he sounds like the Old Testament, brought to life!

Thanks for the Crosley link. Not only did I listen to the Dylan show, which I enjoyed much more than his last couple of albums, but I enjoyed Crosley’s blog enough on first read to subscribe to the feed. As for the show, I particularly enjoyed Dylan’s email response explaining how to operate a cannon.

I can’t wait to get sat radio. Somebody tell me where you can find this kind of stuff on terrestrial radio digital or otherwise. That’s right, nowhere. Radio is ruined. Pray for sat radio’s survival!!!

A friend of mine told me about these shows and I have listened to several. Dylan’s incredibly eclectic playlists are a joy, but they also point up why I quit listening to bland, formulaic, grab-the-biggest-audience-share-possible regular radio a long,long time ago.

Oh my God. That link, Viscount! Like Bob Dylan would ever go on American Idol. Simon Cowell. What a dork.

I've got to get satellite radio. Ed Bradley did a great interview a couple years back with Dylan. It was the best post-motorcyle accident interview I'd ever heard / seen / read. Is this any surprise? I decided that I would post some stuff from my archives here. Today was to be a post on Star Trek T.O.S but you latest gave me an idea.

Listening to Dylan, his old songs, new songs, his voice wrestling with other people’s songs, the sporadic interviews, the guy playing at being a religieuse or a dj, it’s like hunting down jettisoned parts of our own past or potential.
There is an unconscious and residual hope that he’ll still speak the word. He keeps telling us he wasn’t there, that what we saw and experienced was an illusion, and inwardly we nod knowingly, accepting the inevitable, but hope is the last of our witherings.
