    33: When Bob Dylan Gets It All Wrong | Part Two - With Mark Montgomery French
    Jul 15 2023
    We are still living on Tulsa time, reflecting back on the World of Bob Dylan conference in Tulsa at the beginning of June. This time we're talking about how Dylan plays inside and outside the lines of authenticity, roots, race, and the never-ending tour of the popular music hustle. Our very special guest is music impresario Mark Montgomery French, whose encyclopedic knowledge of music, framing of cultural questions, humor, and creativity will keep you riveted. This is a conversation that takes on tough, essential questions about race and music. Mark is just the person to go deep with those questions with honesty, wisdom, and grace. San Francisco-native Mark Montgomery French is an award-winning film composer with the group Spiky Blimp, Creative Director and Co-Producer of Glide Church’s Sunday Online Celebration, host of the podcast “All Your Favorite Music is (Probably)…”, staff writer at PopMatters, and the manager of critically acclaimed queer country band Secret Emchy Society and classic power-punk band The Furys. He’s also a music historian noted for his talk All Your Favorite Music is (Probably) Black, the series 28 Days, 28 Black Music Documentaries, and Uppity Music—Your Guide to Unsung Black Departure Albums. He was formerly the co-leader of the ’90s progressive funk band Endangered Species. Find out more about Mark's work at www.mmfrench.com.

    32: When Bob Dylan Gets It All Wrong | Part One
    Jul 4 2023
    We are still living on Tulsa time, reflecting back on the World of Bob Dylan conference in Oklahoma at the beginning of June in a world gone wrong when Bob Dylan gets it all wrong. The set-up of these four stories of Dylan going off the path actually leads us back to where this podcast began three years ago. The destination for Dylan has always been salvation. Four paths, four windows, four doorways frame Dylan wrestling with salvation, bargaining for salvation, and somehow, walking himself back from taking a lethal dose.

    30: Bob Dylan and the Book - Part Four | Together Through Life with Bob Dylan's Book, The Philosophy of Modern Song
    Apr 14 2023
    The Philosophy of Modern Song. We're going to take the title of Bob Dylan's recent book seriously and try to read between the lines: What is the philosophy here? What’s modern about it? Is there a code for living the good life embedded within? We’ll be calling on the writing of Father Richard Rohr for help. He’s a man of faith, myth, contemplation, and action whose work gives a parallel lay to Dylan’s philosophy of modern song. He, Dylan, is also a man of faith, myth, contemplation, and action. We’re going to see where these teachers and The Philosophy of Modern Song lead us.

    29: Bob Dylan and the Book - Part Three | Con/Text - Why Greil Marcus Matters
    Jan 16 2023
    Join us for a discussion of Greil Marcus's new book Folk Music: A Bob Dylan Biography in Seven Songs. It reads like an elegy in many ways — for Dylan as a figure both shaped by and shaping his times, and also of Marcus reflecting on his own journey with Dylan and rock 'n' roll as a whole. With his generous, eloquent, signature voice, it is hard to imagine hearing Dylan without Marcus's harmony. Discover the biography underneath the history in which facts are steppingstones for what really matters.
