A dream come true moment for me. The Umbrella Man and Other Stories is now on sale at the Sixth Floor Museum in Dealey Plaza, aka the former Texas School Book Depository.

Bob Dylan played Forest Hills last night, a historic site in Dylan lore (the first electric concert after Newport). To mark the occasion, we've got not one but two ace correspondents reporting in—@leeranaldo.bsky.social and @adamchicago.bsky.social!

Very, very sad news. Johnson played on basically every record that came out of LA from about 1955 to 75. Johnny Otis, Larry Williams, the Pink Panther theme, Pet Sounds, Let's Get It On, Gris-Gris... he was *the* LA session sax player from even before the Wrecking Crew became a thing.
"Mr. Johnson had an ample list of credits as varied as 1950s rock ’n’ roll hits, TV theme songs and recording dates with superstars. But the work that stood out was the theme of 'The Pink Panther,' …." Plas Johnson, Saxophonist Behind ‘The Pink Panther,’ Dies at 94 (gift link):
Dylan is playing Forest Hills tonight. Hope he doesn’t get booed again.
Do you remember Ruth and Martin's Album Club where guest reviewers listened to classic albums they'd never heard before? Well, I turned the tables on Martin and made him to listen to Broadside Ballads Vol. 1. Find out what he thought on this special episode of the Dylan Revisited podcast. Link 👇
Thanks to my local paper The Ems and journalist Jane Gregory for featuring me, talking about my Bob Dylan book, in their summer issue.
Bob Dylan has just announced a 5 night residency at the Royal Festival Hall in December! I've just added new outings of the walking tour A Complete Unknown: Bob Dylan in 60s London to mark the occasion. Book the walking tour here: londonmusictours.org/bobdylanlond...
Nice article on one of Bob's unreleased masterpieces, though I must admit the live at the Bitter End version was the one that convinced me of its greatness www.youtube.com/watch?v=qNeZ...

On July 3rd 1975, Bob Dylan played a new song at an impromptu appearance in a small Greenwich Village folk club. The track could have been a highlight of Desire, the album he was about to start recording, but most Dylan fans wouldn’t hear Abandoned Love for another decade. More below 👇

Hearing Dylan will play the Royal Festival Hall this December
Big thanks to @dylanbooks.bsky.social for including Busy Being Born in its July newsletter roundup. It's an honour for my book to be discussed in the same space as great biographers like Robert Shelton, Howard Sounes and Ian Bell, as well as Bob's own Philosophy of Modern Song. Link 👇
If you're still checking in over at the other place, you may have seen the Bob Dylan World Cup that I've been running over the past month. I recently spoke to @cult-following.bsky.social about the inspiration behind the tournament and who I think will win it. Link 👇
Me and @4hundredblows.bsky.social recording a podcast episode about Broadside Ballads Vol. 1. Martin is probably about to compare Bob Dylan to The Jesus and Mary Chain. This new episode is available now wherever you get your podcasts. Links to follow 👇
Finished "Dylan Revisited: Busy Being Born (1960-66)" by @dylanrevisited.bsky.social, an engaging chronology of the early career of Bob Dylan. Both approachable and deeply informative, the book is a handy companion for any Dylan fan that will reveal plenty about this dense era. 5/5
I had so much fun doing this and Colm is a tremendous host. He made me listen to an album I’d never heard before. What a great idea

SHAFT! Is that really Richard Roundtree just behind Arlo Guthrie, sharing a stage with Bob Dylan, Dave Van Ronk, Melanie and Dennis Hopper at the 1974 Friends of Chile Benefit?
