Much appreciated. That line about the mirror that Laura mentions in the episode has me hitting the books yet again.

Asleep At The Wheel does a solid version of this Duke City favorite, which would suit Bob too. youtu.be/biSd8O1k64w

Much like Philip K. Dick, who used the I Ching while writing The Man in the High Castle, Bob Dylan consulted an oracle during the creation of Chronicles: Volume One and Masked and Anonymous. I’ve cataloged numerous irrefutable instances. One references a hexagram from the I Ching about waiting.

I clocked that Hell’s Dylan books are on the same shelf, including Chronicles. The shelf below has Blues & Chaos: The Music Writing of Robert Palmer, which includes his 1989 Rolling Stone article on the Master Musicians of Joujouka. In Chronicles Dylan slyly uses a key phrase from Palmer's article.

It’s a classic example of technology delaying advancement. When gas lighting was threatened by electricity the introduction of the Welsbach mantle improved gas lighting so much that it slowed the inevitable transition by a few decades. Bonus: some drawings I did of Liz Taylor in BUtterfield 8.

What he’s going for is that people once believed that gas lighting would never be replaced. It’s used as a metaphor for resistance to social change. While reading Hemingway’s "The Snows of Kilimanjaro" I learned what Klim is, and that a Puss Moth plane looks like a moth when you fold its wings back.

That photo makes Jan & Dean play in my head.

Not everyone was a fan of Warhol’s personal projects. In this round table Brigid Berlin, Vincent Fremont, and Bob Colacello grouse about the prints that Andy gave them for Xmas in 1983. A bunch of ingrates or was Andy trolling?

Boy from the North Country: Sam Sussman’s Overly Cautious Autofiction Boy from the North Country: Sam Sussman’s Overly Cautious Autofiction By Paul Haney   If you write a novel, readers will want to know which parts of your story are true; a memoir, which parts …

We just launched the latest Dylan Review, and this issue features a commentary from yours truly titled “Boy from the North Country: Sam Sussman’s Overly Cautious Autofiction.” Please give the issue a read and feel free to share your thoughts! thedylanreview.org/2026/02/22/b...

Wow! A couple of years ago I was reading an interview with Sterling Morrison and it snapped that my mom went to high school with Moe and my dad went to a crosstown high school with Sterling. Moe is in my mom’s yearbook! Moe is a year younger than my mom and Sterling was a year older than my dad.

It’s more of a Mother Goose kinda thing. The guy’s into nursery rhymes.

A Bob Dylan for a Willie Nelson is an even swap. You’ll need a couple of Pigpens for a Sun Ra.

The big book is indeed a beast.

Dave Alvin was a guest on my radio show back in 1991 when I lived in New York. He sure loves rock ‘n’ roll. I dig this version of a song he recorded about my current hometown. youtu.be/EOGeWQAMIP0

Richard Prince sighting!

Good stuff! Richard Prince has a bunch of Bob Dylan-related work, and one painting that includes me. Prince’s Tarantula piece should be in The Bob Dylan Center gift shop. I’d zing things up by including Bob Dylan’s painting based on a shot from Jerry Schatzberg’s 1987 thriller Street Smart.

Theme From The Avengers is my favorite Harmonicats LP. Firing on all cylinders.

A clear violation of The Articles of Faith.

I have a comprehensive collection of books on the evils of rock ‘n’ roll, and the supposed hidden messages. In the 80’s I corresponded with the fellow who wrote this bonkers tome.

When I was a teen in the 80’s it was shown regularly on the USA Network's late-night counter-culture programming block, Night Flight. It would alternate with Another State of Mind and The Decline of Western Civilization. My peer group could quote every line.

That IG post is something else, right? Chronicles is loaded w/bits from H.G. Wells novels (The Time Machine, The First Men in the Moon, The Island of Doctor Moreau, The War of the Worlds, The Invisible Man) & there are a # of mentions of aliens, UFOs & the like in the Masked and Anonymous screenplay

Andre the Giant had a Bob Dylan posse. Andre was the Jack of Hearts, Superstar Billy Graham was Rosemary, and Dusty Rhodes was Lily.
