A new Dylan double (for me - triple for others) CD, a new Theme Time Radio Hour (TTRH) on Money. It is a nice position for us to be in.
An Interesting Marketing idea - give your music to NPR so they can stream it for a week. This makes the music easy to obtain, free and ultimately irresistible. Then it goes away. The link is down and if your want to hear it, you have to purchase. How many people bought the music after hearing it on NPR who otherwise would not have opened their wallet? I wonder.
Ah the music, though it takes a while, is sublime. Bob wrangling, cajoling, find the heart, the soul of the song. What an exploration, a discovery. What is the essence of the song? Why does it exist? Why is being sung or listened to? In Chronicles, Dylan talks about losing his way and that the Grateful Dead and specifically Garcia always knew how to find the center of the song.
He seems to find the essence in this music. Rock on Bob.
