More semi-random thoughts on the Bob Dylan Theme Time Radio Hour
It really was exactly what I expected.
What made the premiere hour of the Dylan show so great is what makes Dylan's best work such an inspired pleasure.
An insatiable love of language coupled with an unerring instinct for what makes a song swing. His unbelievable knowledge of -- and appreciation for -- 20th century American popular music and his love for thee characters who wrote and recorded it. His gift for telling a really good story, the shaggier the better.
