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.

23: Bob Dylan and Joni Mitchell with Writer David Yaffe

Much of what we know about the gods of rock comes from their music. But it is the rock star interview, pioneered by the rock bible Rolling Stone magazine as named after Dylan’s own song, where testaments of rock and roll were given. Kind of like an oral tradition to the sacred texts of the songs, kind of a new testament to the old, explaining the gaps, coloring the personal details, humanizing the gods. This has been rock journalist Sylvie Simmons' unique role in the rock and roll mythology for 45 years. We talk here a great deal about Leonard Cohen, his intersection with Dylan, how Cohen and Dylan work, how rock’s mythmakers play, and what all of this might mean from a very personal lens framed by a truly thoughtful, knowledgeable rock and roll pro joining us by the good old-fashioned landline from San Francisco.

It was a weekend afternoon in March at Florida International University, and there was hardly another person in sight where a collection of Dylan's work — work as important as any painter of his age if not for the paintings themselves but rather because of the artist – offered a frame to begin looking one last time at Bob Dylan in this, the final season of this podcast, Bob Dylan: About Man and God and Law.

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.

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.

Welcome to Bob Dylan's Halloween Hootenanny! One of Bob Dylan’s creative superpowers is to not be afraid of anything. His fearlessness as an artist means constant reinvention, forever changes in repertoire and style, pushing through low ebbs of popularity and ignoring minor blips of success like the Nobel Prize for Literature, responding to his own personal or spiritual concerns in private when celebrity demands constant exposure, and simply staying relevant and outlasting nearly all of his peers. But things do haunt him. They always have. There are ghosts in his machine. What are they?

Bing Crosby and the Jackson Five too. And so did Bob Dylan, 2009’s Christmas in the Heart. “Must Be Santa” was the single. Now what exactly was that all about?

It's time to play the music. It's time to light the lights. It's time to get things started. And it must be Santa. Tonight.

Like all of our greatest poets, Dylan transforms death into a gateway to eternity — gratefully.

Painter, poet, teacher, prophet, scribe. Who taught Bob Dylan his artistry and purpose? Dylan is not only one of our greatest teachers. He's also a student at the top of the class where tradition is taught, anchoring the world in the past while compelling time and purpose forward. We make room for Woody Guthrie, King Solomon, the Green Violinist, Johanna and her visions, Moby Dick, and many more as we head back to school with Bob Dylan.

Maybe love is just a four letter word, but once you really spell it out, it still contains multitudes. We’re talking about love and only love that can’t be denied. We’re talking about finding someone who gives you all of the love. And — we’re sick of love. But not really. We’ve made up our minds to give Bob Dylan's love songs to you.This show is part of <a href="https://slack-redir.net/link?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcms.megaphone.fm%2Forganizations%2Ffab391b2-4fcd-11e9-9502-43fb46d5b18a%2Fpodcasts%2F0efae31c-8a18-11e9-bc6c-7bd764ec98b3%2Fepisodes%2Fab76137c-00b7-11ea-bfb0-efc5ce1d9100%2Fwww.PantheonPodcasts.com">Pantheon Podcasts.</a>

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.
