Andre the Giant had a Bob Dylan posse. Andre was the Jack of Hearts, Superstar Billy Graham was Rosemary, and Dusty Rhodes was Lily.

For @theringer.com.web.brid.gy I was pleased to be given a lot of (too much?) space to write about Bob Dylan's ongoing ROUGH & ROWDY WAYS tour, the strangest, most singular, and most predictable/unpredictable musical experience of the decade.

The Rough and Rowdy Way of Life
Bob Dylan is entering his fifth straight year of playing the same setlist devoid of his hits and largely derived from his 2020 album. How did the most predictable show in live music become the strange...

The blanket is gone, but Eric Doeringer has copies of The Second Deposition of Richard Prince in his arty treasure-filled Flea Market at Stay Frosty today, in between a parking lotful of oddball art cars and performances

Bonus Track #4 with scholar and author Andrew Muir is out now! I am grateful to Andrew for taking time to talk with me, to share his brilliant insights on Dylan’s wordplay and performance, and invite me into his intellectual playground.

I watched Richard Prince's 7-hour 'Deposition.' In some small way, it refreshed my faith in art. news.artnet.com/art-world/ri...
Richard Prince's Wily 7-Hour 'Deposition' Video Is an Instant Classic | Artnet News
Richard Prince recently showed his nearly 7-hour-long deposition in a copyright case as a video artwork. It's a doozy.

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...

Denise Sullivan writes, “It's understandable if you missed the 80 year commemoration of the Trinity test, given the week that was.” I didn’t miss it, because I live in New Mexico. The haunting National Museum of Nuclear Science & History is just down the road, catty-corner from my local Costco.

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...

“Books that mention Bob Dylan” is a subset of source material used in Chronicles: Volume One that intrigues me (there are a bunch of them). He turns up as “Dylan, our messiah” and “Dylan our Elvis” in American Rhapsody (a book quoted not only in the passage about Ricky Nelson, but throughout).

I see that Bob Dylan closed his show last night with “Garden Party.” Ricky Nelson’s “Be-Bop Baby” was one of the first records I ever owned. When Dylan writes about Nelson in Chronicles: Volume One he incorporates bits from Jack London’s “The Seed of McCoy” and Joe Eszterhas’ American Rhapsody.
