Bob Dylan Live: Prospect Park BrooklynListening to Dylan live today can be equated to listening to Dylan in the early 60s via transistor radio in a cornfield in Nebraska. His voice live is almost unrecognizable, like it's been dragged through tobacco fields, lugged through tired deserts of American heartland, tortured for years in circulating around smokey bars with no windows, washed out to se...

I just finished an article by Josh Getlin of the LA Times, about a new biography that unmasks the identity of Susan Rotolo, who at 17 was immortalized as the long-locked giggly girl snuggly onto Dylan's hunched side while they were trudging through snow on the cover 'Freewheelin Bob Dylan.'" The book, "A Freewheelin' Time: A Memoir of Greenwich Village in the Sixties," talks about the behind-th...

If the spot doesn't air this Sund...

I hate Pittsburgh. Never am going back there. I was only there for about 3 hours. And only at the airport. But the trauma from being on a Jet Blue flight en route to Chicago from New York City that had to emergency land (with the whole fire trucks on the jetway) with grown men crying and babies screaming is enough of a bad experience with Pittsburgh to never want to go back....but you should go...
