Ed Newman is a writer, artist, historian, and big Bob Dylan fan. The Duluthian joins us this week and talks about how the internet expanded fan culture and led to the creation of his blog, how the song It's Alright, Ma (I'm Only Bleeding) helped him get through a traumatic time in his childhood, his involvement in the Duluth Dylan Fest, the spiritual thread that runs through Bob's work, what makes Bob an interesting subject for artists, and the importance of Buddy Holly and the Duluth Armory to the Bob Dylan story.
