Well, it strengthened Muse "Bi" Lee’s argument. "Strange New World That's a-Comin' Along: Bob Dylan, Star Trek, and the Changing Times" was an interesting paper. I hadda watch a whole lotta Bogart movies to nail that one down (which wasn’t so bad).

StarTrek.com notes that Bob is more of a Sulu/Kirk kinda guy.

I appreciate your work here. My favorite category on the Dylan Pool, where folks handicap Bob Dylan setlists, are the wildcards. Gonna write, record & release a song called “Dylan Song Not On The List Played The First Time Live” and then get Bob to play it every night. 25 points a pop—I’ll clean up!

Typos make us human. Of course it’s New *Lost* City Ramblers. I lay out the Uncle John connection with receipts and commentary from John Cohen here: swarmuth.blogspot.com/2015/12/bob-...

Red, Jim, and Jack Anglin performed as the Anglin Twins and Red and billed themselves as "the South's favorite trio" in the 1930s. If we’re talking about hidden twins and identity in the work of Bob Dylan, which we just were in Tulsa, the Anglin Twins are yet another pair of doubles to consider.

And does Bob Dylan think about these things too? Well, yeah. Dig this exchange with David Gates in Newsweek from 1997.

Cool! Andy Greene writes, “Roy Acuff's World War Il-era folk song ‘Searching For a Soldier's Grave’” It’s only Acuff’s because he *bought* it. Eyolf Østrem notes “Written by Jim Anglin (1913-1987), who sold the copyrights to Roy Acuff.” Jim Anglin is the brother of Jack Anglin, of Johnnie & Jack.

Last Saturday I presented my paper "Several Stories Happening at Once: Intertext in ‘Love and Theft’" at The World of Bob Dylan 2025 conference. Such a receptive crowd! Brian Roberts and Eric Lott were also on the panel. An expanded version of my slides is on my IG: www.instagram.com/p/DMkYHLVOkQ...

The M&A screenplay is just as dense as Chronicles: Volume One and “Love and Theft” when it comes to material incorporated from other sources. Larry Charles and I have touched base a couple of times. It still has *a lot* to give. Charles talks about writing with Dylan in his new book Comedy Samurai.

I’d wager that the “reduced price” bit has its roots in an oral history captured by Junichi Saga in his book Memories of Silk and Straw. There’s an undeniable line that turns up in “Honest With Me” just a few pages later.

There is a 9 CD unabridged audiobook version of Chronicles: Volume One narrated by Nick Landrum.

I suppose that’s debatable. Dylan quotes a line from Shane in “Never Gonna Be the Same Again” (Don’t worry, baby, I don’t mind leaving
I’d just like it to be my idea”). Other Westerns are referenced in Masked and Anonymous. For example, Jake Fate echoes this Sterling Hayden line from Johnny Guitar.

Hey @michaelgray1.bsky.social, I saw that you posted, “I'm told that in ‘Shane’ the song Dixie is part of the sound track, with a scene where the camera pans slowly left to right across a small group of people; in M&A Dylan sings Dixie with a small audience & the camera pans across them likewise.”

Thinking of Chantal Akerman (June 6, 1950 – October 5, 2015). Bob Dylan has a couple of paintings based on shots from her 1977 film News from Home.

Thanks to Steve Badolato for letting me know that he figured out that this Bob Dylan painting is based on a shot from Sweet Smell of Success. This brings the tally of films that have been identified as source material used in Bob Dylan’s paintings and drawings to 70. That’s a lot of movies!

There’s a Richard Prince/Bob Dylan centerfold in the Summer 2025 issue of Gagosian Quarterly. The accompanying text is an OK starting point for considering this stuff. (Bluesky insists on a censored version of the issue’s Picasso cover). gagosian.com/quarterly/is...
