Check off my review of Jeff Slate and Friends: The Music of Tom Petty. What a great show! If you’re in NYC on July 23, don’t miss their show “Dylan Goes Electric” for the 60th anniversary of Dylan plugging in. infinitygoesupontrial.substack.com/p/jeff-slate...

This will be a fantastic show. If you’re in the area, check it out!

Found this in a thrift store in NJ. More to come….

To celebrate the 30th anniversary of my first Dylan show, I wrote about it and asked fellow Bobcats to share their memory. I hope you enjoy it. I would love to hear about everyone’s “first time with Bob” in the comments. infinitygoesupontrial.substack.com/p/bonus-trac...

So excited!!!! These are two of my favorite Bobcats discussing “The Killed Him” with depth and incredible insight. Don’t miss it!

Thank you to Phil Hale for being the first guest on the new “Bonus Tracks” segment on “Infinity Goes Up on Trial.” Phil shares his thoughts on the tension between Dylan’s resentment of his fame and his desire to share his creative gifts. Hope you enjoy it. open.substack.com/pub/infinity...

One of the best shows I have ever seen was the Brian Wilson Pet Sounds Symphonic Tour. He was brilliant. I cherish that evening to have seen him live and to have shared it with my dear friend Cary Winscott. RIP Brian Wilson. Thank you for everything.

I absolutely do think this is what happened and now it's in Rolling Stone so it's a fact

RIP Sly Stone

“I’m sittin’ on my watch so I can be on time” is such a funny lyric. What is your favorite funny Dylan lyric?

I’m incredibly late to post this, but we had a blast in Nashville last week. The highlight was filming an episode of the show with @emmaswiftsings.bsky.social. Her new album is wonderful! Thank you, Emma, for being so generous with your time.

I wrote a review of A COMPLETE UNKNOWN: the brand new Bob Dylan bio pic. And I guarantee you it is totally unlike any other critique of the film that you are ever going to run in to. merrillmarkoe.substack.com/p/a-complete...

The latest issue of The Bridge arrived today with a cover pic I’d never seen before. 1961 Bob and completely unknown to me.

Just saw a preview of “A Complete Unknown.” I loved it. Writing a review and will post to Substack soon.
