Who was Dylan’s first choice to produce Infidels? The spirit of which Beat

poet lurks behind the lyrics to Jokerman? Do I smell goats roasting over fire

and brimstone or is it my imagination? Have you heard the one about the old

man in the church who faced down the Devil? What’s the story behind Dylan

and the Plugz on Late Night with Letterman?

Why does “Why Dylan Matters” by Richard F Thomas matter? If every

window’s made of glass, why does Dylan bother mentioning it? What’s the

point of the violence in the Beyond Here Lies Nothing video? Is the song

romantic or anti-romantic? Where does the Together Through Life cover art

come from? Does Dylan have an exile obsession?
