Love the Radio hour. Too bad it's on XM, Didn't want to renew my XM service so they automatically switched me to monthly service, the most expensive, and sent my account to a collection agency. I don't think Bob would approve.

No matter how much exposure Dylan receives, he's endlessly fascinating.

Chronicles is one of the most riveting and fascinating books about a creative person I've ever read. Looking forward to more from Dylan.

What a great book Chronicles Vol. 1 was. The thing is, as the most picked apart and spoken for musician in our times, he didn't have to do this but, he showed us so many vital ingredients concerning his music and life. And this is just the first volume!...Theme Time Radio is just so good; if you had never heard of Bob Dylan and just knew this show, you'd have to say this guy is one of the best dee jays you've ever heard.

Well, I've been wondering for a long time when the sequel to Chronicles Volume I was coming out. It was a marvelous book, especially that long section about his NY days before he became known and how he was doing that research at the public library and discovered how all the wild, mad talk before the Civil War has been mirrored in our own time. Look forward to it.
