I had so much fun doing this and Colm is a tremendous host. He made me listen to an album I’d never heard before. What a great idea

SHAFT! Is that really Richard Roundtree just behind Arlo Guthrie, sharing a stage with Bob Dylan, Dave Van Ronk, Melanie and Dennis Hopper at the 1974 Friends of Chile Benefit?

45 YEARS AGO TODAY: updated edition of my Dylan book; this one reversed the title to THE ART OF BOB DYLAN: Song & Dance Man; published Hamlyns in simultaneous hardback and paperback. (US edition came a year later.) The main appeal of this 2nd edition was its far greater use of photographs.

Looks like another Fall Euro tour incoming. First date dropped in Denmark:

Had a big helping hand from these two excellent books when writing this article. If you you like Bob Dylan and don't already have them, then these two should definitely be on your shelves

Last night's Man in the Long Black Coat, snippet.

Really pleased to see Busy Being Born on the shelf of my home town's lovely independent book shop, Bantry Bookshop.

When I posted my interview with John Hillcoat, who directed Dylan's scrapped Nobel Prize performance video, Conor Lumsden commented “Being Bob’s stand in was the best job I ever had!” I had to hear more. Today, Conor's surreal story of playing the role of Bob Dylan around Bob Dylan himself.

Such a list must include this ferocious performance: www.youtube.com/watch?v=S-Co...

Excellent article and song selection, which includes a belter of a Bob Dylan cover...

UK-based Dylan fans... You can still get hardbacks and paperbacks of Dylan Revisited: Busy Being Born (1960-66) in time for Father's Day - it's this Sunday. It makes a fine gift for your dad or just treat yourself. www.amazon.co.uk/Dylan-Revisi... #fathersday #musicbooks #giftsfordad

www.nytimes.com/2026/06/14/o... We get the benefit today of hearing Bob talk about 80. (Bob wisely didn’t give the man who wouldn’t listen anyway any advice). I think of all the time lyrics Dylan wrote over the years like time is an ocean but it ends at the shore and now his thoughts on time at 80.

And don't forget the Squeeze singalong with Chris Difford!

Saw Elvis Costello in Brighton last night with the magnificent Charlie Sexton - you can just about see him on the right.

There's still time to get a copy of Dylan Revisited: Busy Being Born (1960-66) in time for Father's Day. Links below 👇👇

My thoughts on FIFA…. ‘I think we oughta take some of these people, Put 'em on a boat, send 'em up to Bear Mountain for a picnic’

The World Cup starts today - an event as dear to my heart as Bob Dylan. Can't imagine he'll be watching though. More of a baseball and boxing guy. Plus, he's busy touring. Is he playing anywhere near a World Cup venue? Could you easily watch a game during the day then see Bob that night?

Never seen this before - Neil Young in rehearsals for the Bob Dylan 30th Anniversary Celebration doing "Forever Young" solo on pump organ and harmonica. Wow! (When the camera zooms out at the end you can see a young Eddie Vedder looking on)

Set aside some time for this gem. Perfect quality extensive backstage footage of the 30th Anniversary concert. youtu.be/hdbvCsJ-DYg?...

Dave Depper of Death Cab for Cutie reports in on opening night of Bob Dylan's summer tour and one of the most obscure songs Bob has ever busted out live!

From Al Grossman squeezing TV producers for extra cash to Joan Baez eating fruit, Dont Look Back is a film about Bob Dylan, where the supporting characters almost steal the show. Listen to the latest episode of the Dylan Revisited podcast for a full revisit to this magnificent film. Links 👇

Couple of lovely new books arrived today, looking forward to getting stuck into these @dylanrevisited.bsky.social #BookSky

Good day to revisit this:

It’s officially Basement Tapes Summer. Show #2 opened with the first You Ain’t Going Nowhere since 2012! 📸 containsmultitudes

Here's a snippet of the live debut of the Basement Tapes super-deep cut "Baby Won't You Be My Baby" I believe this marks the longest gap EVER between Dylan recording a song and playing it live. 59 years. The previous record-holder was "Outlaw Blues" (42 years).

With Father's Day approaching, are you looking for a gift for your Dylan-obsessed Dad? Or want to drop heavy hints to your family about a present you would actually like to receive? I recommend the Dylan Revisited book: Busy Being Born (1960-66). Order now to receive by June 21. Link 👇

Bill Pagel - "Baby, Won't You Be My Baby" was performed by Bob Dylan live for the first time. The song which was written by Bob Dylan appears on "The Bootleg Series No 11 - The Basement Tapes Raw"

Very sad news. Persepolis does that wonderful thing of showing you lives beyond your own experience. Never expected them to be so punk rock. RIP Marjane Satrapi.

A new Willie Nelson song, I Can’t Read Your Mind was co-written by Bob Dylan. I can hear hints of Don’t Think Twice in the melody, gentler Positively 4th Street lyrical jabs and overall tone and mood that’s very current Dylan. But it’s still all about Willie’s glorious voice. Lovely stuff.

I recently read Victory by Joseph Conrad, the novel that inspired the name of Bob Dylan’s song, Black Diamond Bay. Along with the setting and the presence of a volcano – that erupts in the song but remains just a smouldering presence in the book – here are some other connections. 🧵
