Jail is better than Coffee. I get the feeling Dylan is not selecting the music or writing the patter, his research team is. He's on tour at the moment and isn't putting much of himself into these shows, but his name and presence are still welcome.

Perhaps it is as you say lightning
but I have read somewhere
that Dylan chooses the play list and records
the speaking and then his team finds the songs
and tie them together in a radio show.

Dem

I wonder if Dylan really knows all those rare country and blues songs like Jail Bait and ever listens to Chrissie Hyndes. What's all that research team needed for if it's his choice?

he's invited Chrissie Hynde on stage before now, so I'm guessing he likes her, and her music. I bet he knows more rare country, blues and folk songs than most of us too.

Maybe the researchers read up on cloud formations for him, or tremolo arms, both subjects I've heard him talk about on the first two shows...

Tim

I was glad to hear him play Charles Aznavour I Drink on his Booze show, but was surprised he knew about him, as he doesn't know French and Aznavour in English is rarely heard here (thanks to Kush for passing some on to me.)

I have also read somewhere that Bob Dylan
has a big collection of records and a vast
knowledge of music genres.

Heck, if Bob Dylan didn't have this knowledge
who would have it?

Dem

I believe it because he's tried on so many musical hats and invented so many personae. But there's never been a pedantic DJ before,so far as I can remember, I never heard one lecture on the music or musicians as he does. I just wish it all came from him and wasn't spoon fed to him by a research team, or an encyclopedia as it seems when he discourses.

lightning on another note,
did I tell you that when
I visited Leonard's house on Hydra
there were two or three Dylan
old LP's on his desk?
(yeap, the very same desk you can see Marianne
sitting on the photo in "Songs from a Room")

Another LP was by Rolling Stones if I remember well
and a couple more of some other artists that I didn't know.

Dem

Well I hope he's listening to Bob's radio show. A new kind of encoding this week. Mac Users have to use UnrarX to decompress it. Available here:

I can't download show #7

Actually I can see it there

but when I click on the link
I can find it.

Any clue?

Dem

I don't know what happened. I got on Thursday night. It was about Father. Maybe Rapidshare is down. Keep trying. I hope XM didn't close it down.You can still get shows 1,3,4,5 but not the others.

Just received this from a friend:

Williams, Ledger rocking in Bob Dylan movie

LOS ANGELES: After working together in Brokeback Mountain, Oscar-nominated couple Heath Ledger and Michelle Williams have joined the all-star cast of the Bob Dylan movie I'm Not There.

Ledger, who replaces Colin Farrell, will play one of seven actors representing the different aspects of Dylan's life story and music.

Williams is set as Coco Rivington, a model with whom an androgynous folk star (Cate Blanchett) is taken. Also cast are Christian Bale, Julianne Moore and Richard Gere.

The film's co-writer/director Todd Haynes (Velvet Goldmine) and Killer Films principal Christine Vachon persuaded Dylan to assign them the rights to his life story and music two years ago.

Ledger and Williams received Oscar nominations this year for their performances in Ang Lee's Brokeback Mountain.
