Richard Prince has a number of works that incorporate the photos of bass playing Bob. One is a mashup with The Velvet Underground (note that the “Bingo!” comment is from Prince alter ego Joan Katz).

Check out this match between Blackjack Mulligan and Ted Grizzly. The following year Bob Dylan and Ted Grizzly would meet during the filming of Hearts of Fire, as captured in the BBC documentary Getting to Dylan.

Note that Putski was also on that 11/25/1975 Portland card.

Graham mentions being in a Denny’s in Portland. I’d consider his matches versus these RTR dates. My guess would be the encounter happened on 11/25/1975.

I wrote a fan letter to Tony Randall when I was a child and this signed photo arrived in the mail a few weeks later. A happy Felix Unger Day to you!

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.

When I hear “Searching for a Soldier’s Grave” I think about how Jack Anglin died in a car crash on the way to Patsy Cline’s funeral, leaving his brother Jim and his singing partner Johnnie Wright (husband of Kitty Wells) to have to soldier on without him. It adds layers to the song. A resonance.

A cutthroat biz. If you recall, we talked in Tulsa about how Dylan’s use of Johnnie and Jack’s “Uncle John’s Bongos” plays a part in just 1 of the several stories happening at once in “Tweedle Dee & Tweedle Dum”—that hidden tribute to John Cohen and the New List City Ramblers.

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.
