“Country songs try to do the same thing. We take jealousy, failure, drink, pride, and abandonment, then set them to a tune plain enough for a stranger to carry home. Sometimes the saddest person in the room needs a melody more than advice. “ From Bob Dylan’s subscription page.

After Dylan went electric, he went country and changed American music. “The country scene was so conservative until he arrived. He brought in a whole new audience. He changed the way people thought about it-even the Grand Ole Opry was never the same again." Kris Kristofferson Dylan was 27.

It’s Dylan’s last concert of the summer tonight and I’m thinking a surprise performance of The Weight would be a perfect thing. Drop your favorite version by any artist in this thread. forward.com/culture/5594...

The Top 25 versions of 'The Weight' — Robbie Robertson and The Band's song inspired by a Jewish bookseller

Who would have thought a song inspired by Ingmar Bergman and Luis Buñuel would create a rock ’n’ roll history

Listening to “Central Intelligence”, the only weekly series I try and follow. Because I’ve got some idea of the actual events it’s based on, it’s not too serious if a miss episodes. I like Kim Cattrall’s voice, and now with Kelsey Grammer and David Duchovny, it’s even more interesting.

This week subscribers got three things from Bob Dylan. Payback- the finest of the short story yet IMO Two Letters Never Sent The first reminding us of Dylan’s ability to insult and the second showing a sweeter side to someone who had a sharp tongue.

Posted a Dylan album yesterday and happened to grab an album this morning with a "Song for Bob Dylan". If it's a sign I'm rolling with it. The rest of the day all songs shall be dedicated to Bob whether he likes it or not. Probably not. #vinyl #music #bowie #dylan music.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

A lot of Bob Dylan’s letters from one dead person to another are basically letters from Bob to or to Bob, thinly disguised. Today’s letter from Chopin to Frank Costello reads like the advice he declined to give Trump in that NYT article when he turned 80.

“Do not summon me again to declare your dinners…. When your name is dust sealed in a ledger, my weakest prelude will command more loyalty than your strongest lieutenant.”

Side note: David Duchovny has a really good podcast called Fail Better which everyone should listen to about learning from failure and makes a great masculine role model.
