Show Notes

DYLAN ALIENATES EVERYONE! Dewey Paul Moffitt, curator of the International Bob Dylan Tribute Festival, joins us to discuss the first major misfire from a career full of surprising reinventions. Why did Bob pick these songs? Why did he put them in this order? Were they put in any sort of order? Would this album be less effective if the songs were put in any sort of order? What is this album trying to do? If Dylan really did want to scare away his fan base, why is he trying so hard? Is this self portrait “warts-and-all” or just “warts-and-nothing-else”? Is this album a test? Find out if we passed on this episode of Detours and Outliers.
