“It's like one of the greatest things ever in the history of Western culture.”
Truth. Every Friday night from 2006 to 2009, I would sit in my car, parked under the trees at the top of the mountain in the middle of nowhere West Virginia, where I lived, because I could get XM radio only in my car, not inside my house. But I could not, absolutely could not, miss Theme Time Radio Hour, with your host Bob Dylan. It was arguably the best part of my musical education.
Yep, Theme Time Radio Hour with Bob Dylan will live on forever in the Dylan catalog. There’s so much juicy richness and history in every episode, each one guided by Bob’s wry and dry humor that we all appreciate. He was having fun, there was a twinkle in his voice.
Yeah, great! Ray I'm so happy you got to talk to all of us backstage. I had sorta seen our concerts as somehow separate from all the illuminating talk-sessions about Bob that went down at the university-but now I see that we were just presenting *our* facet of Dylan's influence, not so much with words of white papers but with (and through) the music itself.
In Britain an early (ie. pre-Beatles) BBC-TV "pop" show was Juke Box Jury, in which 4 grown-ups judged a handful of new singles each week - always haughty about rockers and saying how superior Sinatra was. There was no record, ever, they hated as much as 'Summertime' by Billy Stewart. I saw the show that week and heard it with glee.

Of all the incredible interviews you've done, this one might just be my favourite. Nels is the greatest
Wow. Such a fun interview. Love Wilco and Nels Cline- such an interesting take, too; Nels perspective on Dylan, music, culture…

Huge fan here of Theme Time Radio, too. I've made a lot of Dylan mixtapes where I just blend in clips of him talking.
