Episode description

Join us for a discussion of Greil Marcus's new book Folk Music: A Bob Dylan Biography in Seven Songs. It reads like an elegy in many ways — for Dylan as a figure both shaped by and shaping his times, and also of Marcus reflecting on his own journey with Dylan and rock 'n' roll as a whole. With his generous, eloquent, signature voice, it is hard to imagine hearing Dylan without Marcus's harmony. Discover the biography underneath the history in which facts are steppingstones for what really matters.
