00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 1: a little.

28
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:36,440
Speaker 2: Thing we like to call the after party.

29
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:39,440
Speaker 1: This is the show after the show, the party after

30
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:41,200
Speaker 1: the party, the bridge to get you from one full

31
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:44,680
Speaker 1: episode of Disgraceland to the other, the backyard to dig

32
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 1: into the dirt. On this bonus episode, we are talking

33
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:51,880
Speaker 1: about this week's brand new episode on Bob Dylan, the

34
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 1: sources that we've used for this episode, which helped us

35
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 1: uncover a wild story about another motorcycle accident that we

36
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 1: weren't able to include in this episode. And of course

37
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:04,559
Speaker 1: your voicemails, your text and more. As always, a whole

38
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 1: lot of rosy. All right, this goes, Let's get into it.

39
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 1: About two or so months ago, I posted a reel

40
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:29,680
Speaker 1: onto Instagram, a short ninety second story about the Paul

41
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:33,760
Speaker 1: is Dead conspiracy theory. This is, of course, the theory

42
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:36,119
Speaker 1: that we covered in part two of our Paul McCartney

43
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:40,079
Speaker 1: episode on the Wild Rock and roll conspiracy the purports

44
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 1: that Paul McCartney died back in the mid sixties and

45
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 1: was replaced by an impostor. Now this theory is, of

46
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:49,920
Speaker 1: course complete and total bunk, and I thought it was

47
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 1: pretty clear in the video that I'm presenting the case

48
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:57,079
Speaker 1: of the conspiracy theorists, not presenting the case as one

49
00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 1: that I believe in. My whole tone is like, yo,

50
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 1: there's this thing that happened, and here it is. The

51
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 1: video has been viewed over a million and a half times.

52
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:09,359
Speaker 1: It has about one thousand comments, a lot of them critical,

53
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:12,640
Speaker 1: a lot of them angrily disputing the false claim that

54
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:14,120
Speaker 1: Paul is dead, which to.

55
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 2: Me is so obvious.

56
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:18,959
Speaker 1: I can't understand why animal would waste energy being angry

57
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:21,360
Speaker 1: over it. But then there's also a lot of comments

58
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 1: that sincerely back the theory, which is perhaps even more

59
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 1: shocking to me. We live, as we all know, in

60
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:31,919
Speaker 1: an age where, for better or for worse, information travels

61
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 1: at nearly the speed of light. This is also a

62
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 1: time when our major institutions, the media, the government, academia,

63
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:42,680
Speaker 1: they're more profit driven than ever and as such more

64
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 1: beholden to narrative than they ever were before, and therefore,

65
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 1: I think they're more corrupt than ever. We are lied

66
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 1: to constantly by the very people that we are told

67
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:54,880
Speaker 1: we should trust the most, and we are being lied to,

68
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 1: We're being spun, We're being manipulated by the information that's

69
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 1: flying around us at light speed. And what the hell

70
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 1: are we actually supposed to believe? I can't blame those

71
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 1: who actually do believe that Paul McCartney died, Nor can

72
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 1: I blame those who think that Ditty is innocent, or

73
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:13,040
Speaker 1: that Taylor really loves Travis, or that Bob Dylan actually

74
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:16,360
Speaker 1: did get in a motorcycle accident. Okay, those last two

75
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 1: are at the very least debatable, but my point stands,

76
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 1: what the hell are we supposed to do? How do

77
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:22,840
Speaker 1: we make heads or tails of what we're being told

78
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:26,240
Speaker 1: to believe? Where does the truth lie? The truth of

79
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 1: the story, the real story as it is, is often

80
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 1: a theme in the episodes that we cover. It's part

81
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 1: of this recent Bob Dylan episode, it was certainly part

82
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 1: of the last two Merril Monroe episodes, and it's at

83
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:38,160
Speaker 1: the heart of the Blank one eighty two episode that

84
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:41,279
Speaker 1: I'm currently researching, which is more of an episode on

85
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 1: UFO and UAP disclosure and governmental manipulation of information than

86
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 1: it is on three corep punk and fart jokes. So

87
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:49,880
Speaker 1: you can see why this topic is rolling around in

88
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:53,240
Speaker 1: my head this morning. Has Bob Dylan been building his

89
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:56,279
Speaker 1: own myth for the past half a century plus? How

90
00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 1: did Maril Monroe die? Why do people think Ditty is

91
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:01,600
Speaker 1: innocent in the of all the evidence that is right

92
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:04,799
Speaker 1: there in front of our eyes? Is the government running

93
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:09,240
Speaker 1: along Kong on Tom DeLong through manipulation and disinformation? Why

94
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 1: do the American people still to this day trust their

95
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:16,240
Speaker 1: government and the media that is so clearly in its pocket,

96
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:20,280
Speaker 1: despite the historical facts that prove that our most powerful

97
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:25,159
Speaker 1: institution continuously lies and manipulates us. The facts are right there,

98
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 1: the Gulf of Tonkin Project, Mockingbird, the Warren Commission, Watergate,

99
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:33,000
Speaker 1: I ran Contra, blowjobs in the Oval Office, weapons of

100
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:35,480
Speaker 1: mass destruction. And I'm not even going there on the

101
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:38,039
Speaker 1: past two decades of lies For why I'm not just

102
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:39,800
Speaker 1: not going there, I'm not touching it, okay, And I'm

103
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 1: obviously only just talking about the government's last year. But

104
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 1: are our artists and our entertainers any different? Are they

105
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:54,719
Speaker 1: immune from mythmaking? Bob Dylan, David Bowie, Kurt Cobain, Ice Cube,

106
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:59,200
Speaker 1: Taylor Swift? What's real? What's narrative? At the end of

107
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:01,960
Speaker 1: the day that we really care? Do we really care

108
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:04,800
Speaker 1: whether or not Bob Dylan actually got into that motorcycle

109
00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 1: accident or do we just care about it being part.

110
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:10,479
Speaker 2: Of his legend, another badass marker on his myth.

111
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 1: Do we really care whether or not Taylor loves Travis

112
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 1: or is it just too good of a romance playing

113
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:17,120
Speaker 1: out in the public eye for us to even question?

114
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:20,039
Speaker 1: Do we really care whether or not Paul is dead

115
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:22,120
Speaker 1: or do we just want to argue about it in

116
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:23,200
Speaker 1: the comments?

117
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:27,039
Speaker 2: I care, I question all of it.

118
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:29,720
Speaker 1: It's a funny thing about this job, About doing all

119
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:33,760
Speaker 1: this research so frequently and so consistently, you start to

120
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:37,640
Speaker 1: see patterns emerge in the historical record, ways in which

121
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:41,680
Speaker 1: certain facts are reported or not reported, what types of

122
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:44,839
Speaker 1: books remain in print and which ones do not, Where

123
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 1: libel and litigation come into play or don't. You start

124
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:50,119
Speaker 1: to be able to read between the lines and ways

125
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:53,000
Speaker 1: you couldn't before, and you start to recognize where certain

126
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:55,919
Speaker 1: facts might not be facts at all, it might indeed

127
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:59,240
Speaker 1: be fiction. Some of an innocent myth making. A lot

128
00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:02,039
Speaker 1: of it straight up bullshit. I like to think that

129
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:04,840
Speaker 1: I've developed a pretty serious bullshit detector when it comes

130
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:07,360
Speaker 1: to the facts as they get presented, and a lot

131
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:10,680
Speaker 1: of it is based on historical precedent. If X lied

132
00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:13,200
Speaker 1: to us about why ten years ago, then why wouldn't

133
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:14,840
Speaker 1: they be lying to us about Z now?

134
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:15,400
Speaker 2: Sort of thing.

135
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:18,200
Speaker 1: That's just common sense, though, And common sense tells me

136
00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:21,600
Speaker 1: that Bob Dylan, the subject of our latest episode, is

137
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:25,640
Speaker 1: one of pop culture's greatest bullshitters. And when it comes

138
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:29,720
Speaker 1: to Bob, I use that term bullshitter with affection. Bob's

139
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:32,400
Speaker 1: lies or myth making is probably a better.

140
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 2: Word for it.

141
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:37,560
Speaker 1: It is far more innocuous than Ditty's, or the government's

142
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:41,200
Speaker 1: or next week's Disgraceland subject R Kelly. Dylan is an

143
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 1: unreliable narrator, and honestly, it's made a more interesting, which

144
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:47,400
Speaker 1: I guarantee is the point. Who wants anything to do

145
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:51,720
Speaker 1: with an uninteresting pop star not me. Bob is an enigma,

146
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:56,160
Speaker 1: He's an idea. Bob Dylan is his very own conspiracy theory,

147
00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 1: so much so that I believe that if he were

148
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:01,440
Speaker 1: to hear me say that by some stroke of mad

149
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:02,280
Speaker 1: fortune for yours.

150
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:04,240
Speaker 2: Truly, I think that he would actually.

151
00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:07,600
Speaker 1: Appreciate it, because Bob Dylan is and always has been

152
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:11,640
Speaker 1: in on the joke. So this week's question is this,

153
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 1: what story from pop culture are you.

154
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 2: Calling bullshit on?

155
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:18,600
Speaker 1: It can be anything the ones we've mentioned, Bob Dylan's

156
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:22,720
Speaker 1: motorcycle accident, Taylor and Travis's relationship, you can go way back.

157
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:25,240
Speaker 1: Did Buddy Holly's gone actually go off in that plane?

158
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:27,800
Speaker 1: And is that what brought it down? Did Tupac really

159
00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:30,320
Speaker 1: die on that night in Las Vegas? Or you can

160
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:32,960
Speaker 1: keep it current. Did did he do it? And let's

161
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:37,000
Speaker 1: think beyond music too, What really was behind Aaron Hernandez's death,

162
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:39,959
Speaker 1: and what was the real reason behind Michael Jordan's eighteen

163
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:43,280
Speaker 1: month hiatus from basketball? Why did Tom Brady take a

164
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:46,080
Speaker 1: hammer to his cell phone? If the flake gate was

165
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:50,679
Speaker 1: all made up? What pop culture stories, explanations, narratives are

166
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:53,600
Speaker 1: you calling bullshit on? What stories have you heard? And

167
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:57,400
Speaker 1: just stepped back and said, nah, something doesn't smell right.

168
00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:00,920
Speaker 1: Six one, seven, nine oh six three eight, hit me

169
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:02,920
Speaker 1: on voicemail and text to let me know I'll be

170
00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:26,599
Speaker 1: back in a flash. Okay, So a little bit of

171
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:29,600
Speaker 1: an announcement here. We're doing this book club, this Disgraceland

173
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:35,520
Speaker 1: popped up, I think I mentioned it in the last

174
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:39,000
Speaker 1: after party, popped up over on the Patreon chat, and

175
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:41,600

177
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:47,280
Speaker 1: that we are going to be discussing is the book

178
00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:50,959
Speaker 1: that we are currently reading, which is The Talented Mister

179
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:55,080
Speaker 1: Ripley by Patricia Highsmith. Okay, so check that out. I

180
00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:57,120
Speaker 1: also want to talk about the movie if you've seen

181
00:09:57,160 --> 00:09:59,600
Speaker 1: that as well, because I think it's a really interesting

182
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:02,040
Speaker 1: conversation and which is better.

183
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:04,880
Speaker 2: That's all I'll say about it here. But anyways, we're all.

184
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:07,720
Speaker 1: Going to be on a Zoom I believe zoom or

185
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:10,160
Speaker 1: the Google version of Zoom, whatever that is, and I'm

00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:28,960
Speaker 1: the Disgraceland book Club, which we will be giving a

192
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:30,840
Speaker 1: better name than that at some point. I hope you

193
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:33,360
Speaker 1: can join us. You got a week to read this book.

194
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:35,959
Speaker 1: It's a great book. It's a page turner. You can

195
00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:38,280
Speaker 1: definitely do it. If you're just jumping in now, I

196
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:40,559
Speaker 1: encourage you to join us. I'm stoked to talk about

197
00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:43,720
Speaker 1: this and other books going forward. All right, let's talk

198
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:46,520
Speaker 1: about the sources right now that we used for this

199
00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:49,840
Speaker 1: Bob Dylan episode. Lots of sources for this one. Bob Dylan,

200
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:52,160
Speaker 1: perhaps more than any other musical icon from the last

201
00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:55,760
Speaker 1: fifty years, contains multitudes, to quote both Walt Whitman and

202
00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:58,960
Speaker 1: Bob himself, who wrote a killer song called I contain

203
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:02,000
Speaker 1: multitudes on his recent album But I'm digressing. So in

204
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:05,400
Speaker 1: order to wrap our hands around all these multitudes, we

205
00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:10,199
Speaker 1: consulted the following books. One, The Double Life of Bob

206
00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:14,040
Speaker 1: Dylan A Restless, Hungry Feeling nineteen forty one to nineteen

207
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:17,080
Speaker 1: sixty six by Clinton Halen. Clinton Halen is one of

208
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:20,280
Speaker 1: the leading authorities on Dylan. He's written numerous books on Dylan,

209
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:22,440
Speaker 1: including the latest one, which came out a few years ago.

210
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:23,960
Speaker 1: And the cool thing about this book is that it

211
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:26,200
Speaker 1: was written after the author was allowed to sift through

212
00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:30,040
Speaker 1: Dylan's personal archive, which Dylan had recently sold to the

213
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:33,760
Speaker 1: George Kaiser Foundation in Tulsa, Oklahoma for something like twenty

214
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:36,800
Speaker 1: two million dollars. Clinton Halen got to check out a

215
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:41,120
Speaker 1: ton of unseen documentary footage recordings Dylan's own writing, a

216
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:43,920
Speaker 1: lot of which changed how he saw Dylan and inspired

217
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:45,640
Speaker 1: him to write this update to take on a very

218
00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:48,960
Speaker 1: specific part of Bob Dylan's life, which is his birth

219
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:53,240
Speaker 1: up until his famous motorcycle accident in nineteen sixty six,

220
00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:56,200
Speaker 1: which brings me to book number two, this one called

221
00:11:56,280 --> 00:12:00,199
Speaker 1: Small Town Talk Bob Dylan, the Band, Van Morrison, jans On,

222
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 1: Jimmy Hendricks and Friends in the Wild Years of Woodstock

223
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:06,240
Speaker 1: by Barney Hoskins. This book focuses on the scene in

224
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:09,040
Speaker 1: the Woodstock area Woodstock, New York, that is, on the

225
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:12,360
Speaker 1: nineteen sixties, which has taken on this near mythical status.

226
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:15,720
Speaker 1: Of course, is the place where Bob Dylan disappeared into

227
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:19,760
Speaker 1: following his mysterious motorcycle accident, and also of course being

228
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 1: the place where the band really became the band, where

229
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:26,640
Speaker 1: they jammed with Dylan and created the Basement tapes in

230
00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:29,360
Speaker 1: their own seminal debut. Lots of great details here that

231
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:32,320
Speaker 1: helped us flesh out the second half of this week's episode.

232
00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:34,960
Speaker 1: So I encourage you to check out Small Town Talk

233
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:39,160
Speaker 1: by Barniey Hoskins. All Right, The third book is Positively

234
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:41,880
Speaker 1: Fourth Street, named after one of my favorite Bob Dylan songs.

235
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:42,960
Speaker 2: Positively four Street.

236
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:47,160
Speaker 1: The Lives and Times of Joan Bias, Mom, Dylan, Mimmi Bias, Farina,

237
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:51,079
Speaker 1: and Richard Farina by David Hajdu. This book chronicles Bob's

238
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:54,280
Speaker 1: time as a folk musician in New York with Joan Bias,

239
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:57,880
Speaker 1: as well as a relationship with Joan's sister and her husband,

240
00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:00,400
Speaker 1: Richard Farina, who at the time was also a soarngwriter

241
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:03,360
Speaker 1: and a poet who also was involved in a motorcycle

242
00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:06,040
Speaker 1: accident at the same year as Dylan nineteen sixty six,

243
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:10,360
Speaker 1: but unlike Bob, Richard Farina tragically did not survive his crash.

244
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:13,240
Speaker 1: So why this book? Why am I mentioning?

245
00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:13,480
Speaker 2: Well?

246
00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:15,360
Speaker 1: One of the biggest takeaways from this book was the

247
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:19,040
Speaker 1: revelation that Dylan was not booed at Newport because he

248
00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:22,000
Speaker 1: won electric but because the sound system was shitty and

249
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:25,840
Speaker 1: not designed to handle electric instrumentation, and therefore the audience

250
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:28,720
Speaker 1: could not hear anything. Okay, myth making. You can hear

251
00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:31,079
Speaker 1: more about that in the full episode. I encourage you

252
00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:32,920
Speaker 1: to check it out if you have not heard it already.

253
00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:33,600
Speaker 2: Okay.

254
00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:35,920
Speaker 1: And the fourth book, which actually turned out to be

255
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:38,760
Speaker 1: far more useful than we thought it would at first,

256
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:42,480
Speaker 1: is Robbie Robertson's memoir Testimony, which he wrote about seven

257
00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:46,240
Speaker 1: years before his death. Robbie Robertson, of course great guitarists,

258
00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:48,920
Speaker 1: one of my favorite guitarists, primary songwriter for the band

259
00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:51,680
Speaker 1: who were previously known as the Hawks, and who was

260
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:54,960
Speaker 1: there on the front lines of the extremely stressful and

261
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:58,280
Speaker 1: combative tour that Dylan embarked on in the UK in

262
00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:01,760
Speaker 1: nineteen sixty six. Robbie's got incredible insights into that life,

263
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:05,280
Speaker 1: including stuff that wasn't available anywhere else. Details about the

264
00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:07,800
Speaker 1: party in the Melbourne hotel, about how everyone was concerned

265
00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:12,000
Speaker 1: about Bob's health, how he was subsisting solely on tea, honey,

266
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:15,839
Speaker 1: lemon and pills, pills which Robbie described as smoother than

267
00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:19,720
Speaker 1: dexiest Benny's black beauties, that they were half upper, half down,

268
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:23,040
Speaker 1: or just very specific, very vivid. This book is also

269
00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:25,120
Speaker 1: where we get the story about Johnny Cash hiding out

270
00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:27,720
Speaker 1: in the closet of Bob Dylan's London hotel room, and

271
00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:30,680
Speaker 1: about how Dylan went catatonic after the final show of

272
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:33,440
Speaker 1: that UK tour at the Royal Albert Hall, and how

273
00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:35,960
Speaker 1: he and Dylan's manager Albert Grossman had to put him.

274
00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:37,600
Speaker 2: In a bath to help him get back to reality.

275
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:41,840
Speaker 1: Okay, so many great books and they all helped us

276
00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:45,680
Speaker 1: paint this picture of the man who contains multitudes. So

277
00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:49,320
Speaker 1: what did you think? Which parts about Dylan's life do

278
00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:52,560
Speaker 1: you believe? Do you disbelieve? What part of the motorcycle

279
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:54,080
Speaker 1: accident's story do you.

280
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:55,440
Speaker 2: Think is actually true?

281
00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:57,120
Speaker 1: Do you think it went down the way that we

282
00:14:57,200 --> 00:14:59,960
Speaker 1: described it into the episode, or do you have other thoughts?

283
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:03,520
Speaker 1: Let me know six one seven, nine oh six sixty

284
00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:06,720
Speaker 1: six three eight. Just like this person from the three

285
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:08,479
Speaker 1: three four.

286
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:13,960
Speaker 3: Greeting disgraced land down Low in the nine two to oh,

287
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:20,160
Speaker 3: I hope y'all keep through playing these historic deaths from

288
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:25,360
Speaker 3: all of those who care. My first year wedding anniversary

289
00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:31,160
Speaker 3: to my wonderful wife was darkened by the day Michael

290
00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:37,800
Speaker 3: Jackson died and we ate our wonderful steaks watching the news.

291
00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:44,800
Speaker 3: The second one that hit my wife harder was George

292
00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:50,920
Speaker 3: Michael's death on Christmas Night. The one that hurt me

293
00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:54,200
Speaker 3: the most was Robin Williams.

294
00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:55,840
Speaker 2: He made me.

295
00:15:56,600 --> 00:16:03,640
Speaker 3: Last and I knew that depth in despair, which makes

296
00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:04,560
Speaker 3: me cry.

297
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:06,760
Speaker 4: Rock and rolla.

298
00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:10,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, Tom Petty. Tom Petty's death touched a lot of people,

299
00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:13,840
Speaker 1: messed a lot of people up. I know, for me,

300
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:16,560
Speaker 1: I was lucky. I've said this before. I get to

301
00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:18,480
Speaker 1: see him right before he died, pretty much a couple

302
00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:21,960
Speaker 1: months before that, and I feel very, very lucky for it.

303
00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:24,640
Speaker 1: A lot of people have called in as well, and

304
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:27,680
Speaker 1: they've left voicemails mentioning Michael Jackson. And that makes me

305
00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:30,120
Speaker 1: think about the conversation we're having right now. There's some

306
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:33,320
Speaker 1: smoke around Michael Jackson's death and what the cause of

307
00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:36,720
Speaker 1: death actually was, and I wonder if you guys have

308
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:39,520
Speaker 1: any hard thoughts about that. Did we get the right story?

309
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:42,440
Speaker 1: I tend to think we did, but I've heard a

310
00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:46,880
Speaker 1: lot of people sort of think otherwise. And this has

311
00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:50,240
Speaker 1: come I've seen stuff online, obviously, but I've heard stuff

312
00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:54,200
Speaker 1: in private too that kind of shocked me, but that's

313
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:55,520
Speaker 1: happened to me in the past two I hear things

314
00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:57,200
Speaker 1: in private that shocked me and I think, no way,

315
00:16:57,240 --> 00:16:58,160
Speaker 1: that's that's happened.

316
00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:01,880
Speaker 2: And then boom did he? So there we go, all right?

317
00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:04,280
Speaker 1: Seven eight one rights and hey Jake, it's Kelly from

318
00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:06,240
Speaker 1: the seven eight one. I think Johnny Cash's cover of

319
00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:08,920
Speaker 1: Hurt is better than Nine Inch Nails. I love the

320
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:11,480
Speaker 1: nine inch Nails version also, but the way he did

321
00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:13,320
Speaker 1: that song at the end of his life after everything

322
00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:15,399
Speaker 1: he'd been through, brings tears to my eyes still to

323
00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:18,639
Speaker 1: this day. Great cover. Thank you Disgraces my favorite podcast

324
00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:20,879

328
00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:29,680
Speaker 2: I think I agree with you. I really do. I think.

329
00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:31,960
Speaker 1: I don't know if we talked about this before, guys,

330
00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:35,080
Speaker 1: but I really that cover in particular. We have this

331
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:37,720
Speaker 1: songgoing conversation about which covers are better than the originals,

332
00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:41,920
Speaker 1: and I think that one really really personifies the cover

333
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:45,280
Speaker 1: that's better than the original, which is Johnny Cash's version

334
00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:48,119
Speaker 1: of Trent Residor nine inch nails is hurt so for

335

338
00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:00,680
Speaker 1: emotions and oftentimes their mental health since the use and

339
00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:02,719
Speaker 1: abuse and self care is an afterthought.
