What links Dylan, Paul McCartney and Picasso (but not in a good way)? Is Po’ Boy a classic Borscht Belt schtick? How does Othello’s pal Iago figure in the song? Have you seen Harry Dean Stanton and Bob nailing Hava Nagila on YouTube? What does Larry Campbell have to say about “Love & Theft”? Should or shouldn’t you let other people get your kicks for you?

Does' It’s Alright, Ma' begin just after the murder of King Duncan in Macbeth? Why did Bob tell Ed Bradley he could never write a song like that again? Whose father sold flesh coloured Christs that glowed in the dark? In what way is Rupert Murdoch opposed to Bob Dylan? Why not praise Joan Baez for a change? Would you be convicted for your thought dreams?
