THIS WEEK'S NEWS
- WHEN JIMMY CARTER AND BOB DYLAN BONDED OVER CHRISTIANITY (Tech Smart)
- “This rendezvous came a whole four years before Dylan announced his conversion to Christianity in 1979—and Carter’s words appeared to have a profound effect on him. As director Mary Wharton’s documentary explores in rollicking detail, Carter frequently invoked Dylan’s lyrics during his 1976 presidential run.”
- Greil Marcus on Not Dark Yet Alt Take (Letter In The Ether)
- “You’ve hit on the oddest and most counter-intuitive aspect of this collection/selection. Ordinarily you’d expect two versions of the same song with completely different words—if not a different mood, a different atmosphere—would not fit with other songs as if there was no essential difference at all. But that’s what happens all over Fragments.”
- More Dylan later in the edition, as there always is.
- Is Three Room in Rock for a Second Act (Paste)
- “In 1996, Bob Dylan faced a career crisis not unlike Presley’s in 1968. He was never guilty of making bad Hollywood movies, though he did make an insufferable indie film (Renaldo and Clara) and a series of underwhelming albums such as 1988’s Down in the Groove and 1990’s Under the Red Sky.”
- Girl From The North Country” is being made into a film (Irish Central)
- “It feels, sadly, like it’s resonating with what’s happening in the world now. There’s more and more division and hardship. Nobody ever seems to learn from history. People seem to relate to the universality in it.”
- Dylan Themed Project Scrapped in Nashville (Nashville Post)
- Perhaps this was the Heaven’s Door facility we’d heard about?

New Reviews & Releases
- Marc Maron Told Me To Listen to Planet Waves (Medium)
- “What I do not swing with on the Zimmerman tipis the mythology surrounding his career and the dogma observed by adherents to this religion. He is one of the Arch Saints of the Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church of Dad Rock, and I am no longer a communicant thereof.”
