Happy birthday to Red Grooms (born June 7, 1937). How much does Bob Dylan work into one page on Grooms, who he refers to as his favorite current modernist artist, in Chronicles: Volume One? A whole lot. There’s an entire lecture on modern art and modern writing (if you look closely).And hey @JerrySaltz, if you keep writing for that New York Magazine you very well may find yourself incorporated into Bob Dylan’s work too (just like Roberta).

What a rendition! I dig how New Lost City Ramblers do it. John Cohen told me that Bob Dylan brought up the NLCR version in conversation. The album it appears on is loaded with “Love and Theft” lines. youtu.be/MN-wvZqWSOQ

Much like Philip K. Dick, who used the I Ching while writing The Man in the High Castle, Bob Dylan consulted an oracle during the creation of Chronicles: Volume One and Masked and Anonymous. I’ve cataloged numerous irrefutable instances. One references a hexagram from the I Ching about waiting.

I clocked that Hell’s Dylan books are on the same shelf, including Chronicles. The shelf below has Blues & Chaos: The Music Writing of Robert Palmer, which includes his 1989 Rolling Stone article on the Master Musicians of Joujouka. In Chronicles Dylan slyly uses a key phrase from Palmer's article.

It’s a classic example of technology delaying advancement. When gas lighting was threatened by electricity the introduction of the Welsbach mantle improved gas lighting so much that it slowed the inevitable transition by a few decades. Bonus: some drawings I did of Liz Taylor in BUtterfield 8.

Scott Warmuth @scottwarmuth.bsky.social · 10/03/2026
What he’s going for is that people once believed that gas lighting would never be replaced. It’s used as a metaphor for resistance to social change. While reading Hemingway’s "The Snows of Kilimanjaro" I learned what Klim is, and that a Puss Moth plane looks like a moth when you fold its wings back.

Not everyone was a fan of Warhol’s personal projects. In this round table Brigid Berlin, Vincent Fremont, and Bob Colacello grouse about the prints that Andy gave them for Xmas in 1983. A bunch of ingrates or was Andy trolling?

Wow! A couple of years ago I was reading an interview with Sterling Morrison and it snapped that my mom went to high school with Moe and my dad went to a crosstown high school with Sterling. Moe is in my mom’s yearbook! Moe is a year younger than my mom and Sterling was a year older than my dad.

Good stuff! Richard Prince has a bunch of Bob Dylan-related work, and one painting that includes me. Prince’s Tarantula piece should be in The Bob Dylan Center gift shop. I’d zing things up by including Bob Dylan’s painting based on a shot from Jerry Schatzberg’s 1987 thriller Street Smart.

When I was a teen in the 80’s it was shown regularly on the USA Network's late-night counter-culture programming block, Night Flight. It would alternate with Another State of Mind and The Decline of Western Civilization. My peer group could quote every line.
