Bob Dylan: About Man and God and Law

Many of our assumptions about spiritual intention, sensual pleasure, and the essence of work, community, country, race, and the divine have germinated in Bob Dylan’s need to know what’s blowing in the wind. In a moment when the world we thought we knew seems like uncharted territory, About Man and God and Law hears sixty years of popular music anew, offering both a map and a manifesto for empathy and purpose for anyone seeking a life of meaning inspired by the songs they love. Stephen Daniel Arnoff injects the quest with an equal dose of academic bona fides mixed with a rock and roll irreverence. How does it feel? Let's find out together. Look for the book About Man & God & Law: The Spiritual Wisdom of Bob Dylan coming in December from Morgan James Publishing. More at mangodlaw.com.

02: The Art of Memory

December 2, 202100:37:01

I mean, you're talking to a person that feels like he's walking around in the ruins of Pompeii all the time. It's always been that way for one reason or another. - Bob Dylan, Rolling Stone Interview (2001)

Like all great bards—Homer, the Psalmist, Shakespeare—Bob Dylan's creative superpower is his memory. The power of his art lies not just in what he remembers, but in how he remembers it. And this is the Art of Memory, an ancient technique for making the past become present in the lyric of the artist daring and skilled to mold it to his will. We're talkin' those Dylan and the Ancients blues. Join us for Episode Two of Bob Dylan: About Man and God and Law: The Art of Memory.
