Episode description

Bob Dylan was the protest icon of a generation. “The times they are a-changing,” sang Bob Dylan and “a hard rains’ gonna fall.” Now, those 1960s protests are deep in the rearview mirror. A new generation is in the streets, with demands for a racial, cultural, gender, economic and structural accounting that might make Dylan look tame.   At 79, with a new studio album, his first in years, we explore Dylan’s music, tenderness and anti-establishment voice with UMass Lowell's American Cultural Historian, Professor Michael Millner, and Yale’s American Religious Studies Professor Kathryn Lofton. Is much more to demand from this Nobel laureate for Literature when change is desperately upon us?
