“Bob wanted to take a big group photo with all of us. Bob is smiling in the photo. He has a huge grin. But he also made a point to go to the very back of the photo. So you barely see his little head popping up behind everyone.”

Shedding some light on the Shadow Kingdom this week. Today, guitarist Ira Ingber recalls the weeks of secret recording sessions. "An 80-year-old man singing songs that he wrote in his 20s, there’s such a poignancy to it."
How an aborted "Watchtower" attempt transitioned into the closing instrumental dubbed "Sierra's Theme." "He said, 'You know, I never liked Jimi Hendrix’s version of it'—which is a patent lie, because he’s gone on record saying that is the definitive version."

it’s so crazy that Bob Dylan is a real guy. a vagabond jester beloved by millions for songs he refuses to sing, who travels the world telling lies
Today's newsletter: Dylan covers Muddy Waters and Jimmie Rodgers for a nearly empty Israeli restaurant in Canada. Someone requests “Talkin' Hava Negeilah Blues” and he replies he can’t do it because he forgot the words lol. flaggingdown.com/p/he-played-fo…
