    Jason, Bradford and Kimber are back—this time posted up in the barn with the rain pattering on the tin roof and a trio of star-studded bottles on the table. It’s all about celebrity whiskeys: why are famous folks diving into the bourbon game? Is it just another tequila-fueled cash grab, or is there real passion and quality in the barrel? And with whiskey consumption dipping, is there longevity in these high-profile pours? The ‘legend in their own minds’ enjoy all the tasting, fellowship and the sounds of a passing train during the afternoon. The guys dive into mash bills, branding, and the big question: is the juice worth the celebrity squeeze? Also: shoutout to Jeff Arnett—we want you on the porch, brother!

    “Bob Dylan is dead! The CIA killed him. The mafia killed him... or the real Dylan is alive, but can never play music again.” A two-sentence story published four days later in The New York Times under the headline "Dylan Hurt in Cycle Mishap" said he was under a doctor's care. Rumors sprouted over the following months that he was gravely injured, blind, and/or permanently disfigured. So, what really happened in the events surrounding Bob Dylan's famed motorcycle crash? What would've happened if the motorcycle crash never happened? Would he have actually died on tour in late 1966? We consider these questions, and more, on this episode of Nothing Is Revealed.

    At age 11, his fate was sealed when Benmont Tench met Tom Petty at a Gainesville music store. Fueled by the recent British invasion, the pair made music together for the first time at The Sundowners. A decade later, Petty recruited the keyboardist for Mudcrutch, the Southern rock band that soon evolved into the Heartbreakers. For the past six decades, Tench has never strayed far from that path, playing keys on records by Bob Dylan, The Rolling Stones, and U2. This March saw the release of Tench’s second solo album, The Melancholy Season.

An extraordinary time capsule of Cold War highlights, social justice movements, and the American folk music scene, “A Complete Unknown” captures a 1960s that sharply resembles the 2020s. Audiences will thrill at the political tumult, clashing personalities, and beautiful music that made this part of the last century iconic. Equally, young artists will find remarkably practical insight in how to build a creative career when you are — as they say — “A Complete Unknown.” Let’s get into it!

    This is the 2nd Weekly Tank Episode, where I will be reviewing A Complete Unknown. The Bob Dylan bio-pic starring Timothee Chalamet, Edward Norton, Elle Fanning, Monica Barbaro, Boyd Holbrook and Scoot McNairy, Directed by James Mangold.\n\nThe film is much more than the average musical bio-pic, set in 1961 New York, a young Bob Dylan arrives in a new city with just the clothes on his back, a guitar, a notebook and a dream of meeting his musical idols. The film looks at Bob’s rise to fame, conflict with the Folk Music establishment and his turbulent transition to electric.\n\nI will also be looking at how A Complete Unknown compares to other music bio-pics, some of my personal favourite bands and how they have changed styles over the years, the films attention to detail, Chalamet’s transformation as Bob and the thrill of seeing Bob Dylan Live.

    Within the recently released "JFK Files” there is a reference to a “Bobby Dyllon” and informant number “T-3390-S." This recent discovery has led to a quick consensus among many JFK assassination scholars that “Dyllon” is the lynchpin between an unknown FBI informant at the heart of a conspiracy theory that scholars are now just beginning to accept as truth: that the “Watergate” scandal was not at all what it seemed; the downfall of a corrupt politician, but was instead, the overthrow of a president––Richard Nixon––who was about to reveal the truth about the Kennedy assassination. Bob Dylan’s––or “Bobby Dyllon’s”––surveilled actions, now unredacted and detailed in the JFK Files, come very close to proving this so-called “conspiracy” theory as historical fact.

    Bob Dylan was booed at the 1965 Newport Folk Festival – but not for the reason you’ve been led to believe. He went from Folk Music Jesus to Rock ‘n Roll Judas, alienating thousands of fans with ear-splitting, confrontational music. Many of those fans heckled him. One even tried to attack him on stage with a knife. He returned home from a European tour that nearly killed him….only to get into a motorcycle accident that, it was said, left him either disfigured, paralyzed, or dead.

    Bob Dylan has played many roles in his life: voice of a generation, rock ‘n’ roll Judas, Christian convert, even Victoria’s Secret salesman. The one that concerned the SPL podcast in 2013 was ‘poet’.\nAcross two biographies – Once Upon A Time and Time Out of Mind (both Mainstream) – Ian Bell (1956-2015) considered Dylan in a more literary context than any other biographer of His Bobness. Over the course of this podcast, we discussed whether Dylan can really be considered a poet, the writers who influenced him, his Scottish connection, and his encounters with poets such as Carl Sandburg, Archibald McLeish and Allen Ginsberg.

    Songs of Experience: A Bob Dylan Podcast:  A Complete Unknown And I'm Not There Can Coexist
    You ever notice how when you love something there’s always someone who loves to tell you how much they don’t like that thing. As a Swiftie, I experience this all the time. People who don’t like Taylor Swift LOVE telling Swifties they don’t like her, why they don’t like her and how much they don’t like her. As a Dylan fan, for every 4 people telling me how much they love Bob like me, there’s always one who has to point out 'Oh yeah, great song writer but his voice is terrible.' The latest version of this is folks who not only didn’t like A Complete Unknown but outright refuse to se it or dismiss its existence because Todd Hayne’s 2007 film, I’m Not There, existed first. Early this week, an article dropped with a little quote from Cate Blanchett, star of I’m Not There, praising the film. Last Friday, on the holiday of Purim, I was dressed in what I think was a pretty spot-on Chalamet-esque Bob Dylan costume (specifically from the last scene of A Complete Unknown. At a Purim party, someone felt the need to tell me why they refuse to see ACU because of I’m Not There. Check out the video for the full story and rant. And for the love of Bob, can we please stop yucking other people’s yums?

    A contextual history of the night Dylan was censored by TV executives.\nIn May of 1963, Dylan was a complete unknown—just another aspiring musician with a passionate niche following, but no national profile whatsoever. Despite his lack of fame, he had secured what would surely be his big break with an invitation to perform on "The Ed Sullivan Show." One might have thought the chance to perform for a national audience on one of the biggest shows on TV was too tempting to avoid—but Dylan proved his authenticity when he walked out on the show. This is the story of why Dylan was censored and what it meant for the trajectory of his career.
