Oliver Gee Brings Bob Dylan to Dinner

  • Summary

  • In our Fanfare Season 3 opener, Paris-based podcaster and author Oliver Gee, the creator of The Earful Tower, bravely invites Bob Dylan to dinner. The prospect had us trembling in our boots (of Spanish leather) at first, not only because we love Dylan’s music and are not at all sure that we’ll manage to play it as cool as he always does–even in our imaginations!–but also because there is an entire world of Dylanologists out there, puzzling until their puzzlers are sore over this enigmatic giant of American music. Born Robert Zimmerman in Hibbing, Minnesota in 1941, Dylan is, as former U.S. President Barack Obama put it, “still chasing that sound.” In this episode, we put on our thinking caps and wayfarers and reflect on the man, the masks, and most of all, the music.
