Saturday May 24 8pm til 2am - live to air...
The Pulitzer award winning Bob Dylan is still “busy being born” and “heading for another joint“ - DJing his own radio show, touring the world (he plays Iceland in May) and giving his name to good causes. To celebrate the 67th birthday of the "Picasso of rock", 2ser's annual Bob Dylan Birthday Marathon will take place on Saturday May 24, playing the choicest cuts from Bob's entire 48 year career, including the latest version of A Hard Rain‘s A-Gonna Fall.
There will be a review of Bob’s own Theme Time Radio Hour. From the extraordinary Bob Dylan Live at the Newport Folk Festival DVD, we have previously unreleased songs. The book review will look at Legendary Sessions: Highway 61 Revisited and Million Dollar Bash: a track by track appreciation of the famous Basement Tapes. We will also discuss reaction to Todd Haynes’s amazing multi-Bob movie, I’m Not There. Of course, we shall have the 'Dylan Quiz', the 'Dylan News' and all the Bob-songs that fit! If you're a Dylan fan - or you want to be one - don't miss it!
