The October episode is out! In it, poet, scholar, and biographer Robert Polito discusses his latest book, After the Flood: Inside Bob Dylan’s Memory Palace, and the creative genius of Dylan’s late-style works. I hope you enjoy it. infinitygoesupontrial.substack.com/p/inside-bob...

Watched a really smart sci-fi film called Lola. Two sisters in wartime Britain build a machine that picks up TV and radio broadcasts from the future, including lots of music At one point, one woman says that Bob Dylan is her favourite future musician and I like how she describes him...

Just watched a preview of a new documentary about the Newport Folk Festival, which has its UK premiere at London's BFI IMAX on Oct 29th as part of this year's Doc'n'Roll Festival. Newport and the Great Foik Dream unearths amazing unseen footage from the vaults of filmmaker Murray Lerner. 🧵

Another gem from the Royal Festival Hall '64 programme, which included Dylan's autobiographical poem, My Life in a Stolen Moment. This was originally written for the 1963 Town Hall show in NYC. Naturally, it's a delightful mix of truth and legend.

Meshell Ndegeocello has a new cover of Bob Dylan's With God On Our Side with Bill Callahan (aka Smog) on main vocals. Ndegeocello's abrasive arrangement features scratchy mandolin from Chris Thile, plaintive piano and machine-gun drum machine. Worth a listen.

I agree that artists are "constantly in a state of becoming," but I also believe that the most commercial artists either start as brands or end up as brands and are truly no longer artists of in flux at all. Perhaps if Warhol were alive, he'd make prints of pop stars.

Extract from the wonderful Is a River Alive? by @robgmacfarlane.bsky.social. I like how his summary of Samuel Taylor Coleridge's writing about a river - "It is always in a state of becoming" - echoes one of my favourite Bob Dylan quotes: that an artist is "constantly in a state of becoming".

The first official release from Bob Dylan’s upcoming 1976 Rolling Thunder box set is an epic version of Going, Going, Gone. The song appeared on Planet Waves two years earlier and this live take from Fort Worth, Texas, expands on the original’s softer sound. 🧵

My latest "Venue Spotlight" looks at every time Bob Dylan has played the iconic Royal Albert Hall—from 1965 all the way up to 2024. John Lennon tells Dylan, “Maybe they didn’t get it. It’s the price of being ahead of your time.” Dylan: “Maybe, but I’m only twenty minutes ahead, so I won’t get far.”

Another extraordinary song that, thanks to Garth Hudson (i believe that I read somewhere), turning on a tape recorder, that otherwise may have been lost to ‘rumor-only’ is “I’m Not There”.

Abandoned Love has to be in the top ten greatest Dylan performances. It could so easily never have been captured on tape by an audience member; all we'd have known was a rumor that it was played and nothing more.

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.

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 👇
