Articles
- So long, Bob Dylan (The Spectator) [5]
- "It’s fairly clear we won’t see him again. This felt like a valediction."
- Bob Dylan at Royal Albert Hall 14th November 2024 (KLOF Mag) [5]
- "I cannot recall feeling the Royal Albert Hall more alive with restless anticipation minutes before the arrival of an artist. Neither can I think of a more joyous roar erupting when the main attraction shuffles onto the stage a few moments after his band start up."
- Dylan is a Remarkably Bad Electric Guitar Player (The Spectator) [5]
- "He was 81 then and it felt like it might be his last rodeo. Well, he’s 83 now and in Edinburgh seemed rather more energised."

- Bob Dylan: Prophet, Mystic, Poet (Peter Stone Brown Archives) [8]
- "Prophet, Mystic, Poet is loaded with such revelations and as such is essential reading for any serious Bob Dylan fan. That said, the book is not without an agenda which is made clear from the start, which is to show not only how Judaic tradition and custom, but how much of what is commonly referred to as 'The First,' or 'Old Testament' informs a large part of Dylan’s work."
- Bob Dylan Breaks Silence on 'Ridiculous' Rumour (Mirror) [5]
- "But Dylan has rubbished the rumour, replying: 'Saw your reply. Just want you to know I’ve never told anybody not to make eye contact with me. That is just ridiculous. And the next time you see me please look straight into my eyes.'"
