EP#7 - Tomorrow is a Red River Shore

53 minutes

Do we ever get over our first broken heart? What drove Billy Connolly’s kids crazy? What’s the connection between singing and acting? Between Dylan and Hemingway? Burton and Eastwood? Kerry and Ben Whishaw? How many of Dylan’s greatest songs, like Tomorrow Is A Long Time, have only three chords? Whose hills are alive with the sound of music?

Is The Girl on the Red River shore Dylan’s muse? Or is she the girl from the film “Red River”? Is the sun actually the sun? Why has the “door” lyric in the song been replaced on bobdylan.com? Why has Bob never played the song live? How did Dylan’s studio band members rate it? From which poem did Bob borrow “trapped in the fires of time”?
