EP#13 - Standing in the Doorway, Cryin' 'bout Summer Days

52 minutes

Where do you come from? Where do you go? If it’s information you want, why ask Bob Dylan? Which F Scott Fitzgerald novel turned Dan on to unreliable narrators? Which track from Simon & Garfunkel’s 'Bookends' does Kerry find terribly strange? Is Bob the cool uncle who takes you for a ride on his chopper, singing “summer days, summer nights are gone…”

When Dylan moans that he’s suffering like a fool - is he referring to the Daniel Lanois soundscape for Standing In The Doorway? Was 1997 the fulcrum of Bob Dylan’s career? What’s the connection between Time Out of Mind and Nick Hornby? How dark is the dark land of the sun? What is it about London that has made both our co-hosts nauseous?
