This is brilliant, loved the fish meeting story. Your podcasts are fantastic, I've been a fan of you both since you started to present the Whistle Test in the early '80's. I've also read the books you've both written (well David's were on Audible but like the fact you read them yourself, made them even more enjoyable). More power to your collective elbows! ❤

You're a brilliant couple of guys, and Ray is living Almost Famous except his is Actually Famous. Great show!

The guy who did the one-time spontaneous drum-fill was Stan Lynch, Tom Petty's original drummer. 1952 Vincent Black Lightning by Richard Thompson is the song Dylan covered.

Loved this guys. Rays book sounds my kind of read. Only saw his Bobness at Earls Court in 78. Probably more books about him than any other musician. My first was Anthony Scaduto. I know lots of friends who saw him at various times and are disgruntled over his Victor Meldrew attitude as they see it. I usually answer with " Well you like millions of others don't understand Bob Dylan". I clearly remember the first time I heard him around 62/63 and the circumstances. Keep up the good work.

Loved it, went past in an instant, thanks gents.

I was an Airline employee in Australia in 1992 when Bob flew through Cairns Qld. My fellow employees would re-print boarding passes of famous people and have them sign them. We had quite a wall full with many famous names. I was attempting to have Bob sign his when one of his roadies reached out and stopped me before I could ask. He said he would "f'in loose it if I asked" as he doesn't do autographs.

Excellent interview i must get this book

Louis Kemp has written a really interesting book about his lifelong friendship with Bob Dylan - easily one of the best and most real books i have read on Bob. Louis Kemp's family runs a massive fishing business which Louis expanded to be one of the biggest fishing companies in North America. He was standing beside Bob at the second last Buddy Holly gig before the fatal plane crash - they were both young teenagers and the closeness has continued for decades.

Im in santa monica..i heard at smoke shop BD was asked for autograph by worker and got the 'f u'.

What did Scarlet get paid-was there a salary discussed or did she want to be suprised?

Ray is a gift.

Despite Ray's speaking voice sounding similar to Ron DeSantis, I really enjoyed this segment. lol

Prince may be an interesting subject especially since he is gone.

wow, but to be fare they all say the same thing Dylans worlds seeming to predictable

Have singer songwriters become lazy because two of them I like them said there new album is coming out next month but they have not gone a gig in nearly 2 years and they are lucky to get 300 people at there gigs🤔

I have "met" Dylan 3X..I won;t get into that. He did speak to me face to face. I do have some additional "FISH" story info. A guy I know was staying with a group of friends at a hotel and by coincidence DYlan was at the same hotel. The guy said- Dylan was just sitting all alone for an hour..he garnered up enough strength to go over with is female friend and ask for an autograph on the Hotel Post Card. Bob studied the two of them and asked the woman what she does. She laughed "For a living?" Bob "yeah". SHe said you may not believe this but I manually inseminate Salmon for reproductive purposes. Bob..takes a few seconds and says "Oh you're a fish doctor. I know a lot about fish" LOL. Now it makes sense!

Bob Dylan - why he signs autographs left-handed and other mysteries solved by Ray Padgett 1016am 12.3.24 as the new york shuttle touches down in boston, bob dylan's manager, jeff kramer, arrives at a conclusion of sorts. "bob, he declares, is like a football game." pleased with the inelegant analogy he continues. "you're never sure exactly who's going to be there and you never know which side is going to win out." a close friend of the diminutive protest singer once said, "there's so many sides to him, he's round." crudely translated, this reads: bob dylan can be a difficult old bugger........................................................................................... upstairs, a small group has been admitted into the celebrated songwriter's presence. they encircle him clucking and pecking and saying remarkably stupid things. dylan relies on his stock line of defence answering everything put to him with a question............................................................ even the unrufflable concierge at new yorks $200-a-night westbury hotel raises and eyebrow as dylan sways across the axminister towards reception. looking as though he may have just scraped the bronze medal in a best dressed gypsy competition, he checks in under his own name. such is the exclusiveness of the westbury, george smiley, robert milkwood, thomas elmore johnson, big joe's buddy - all dylan pseudonyms - will not be called upon to make an appearance today............................................................................................. he hates publicity. he's just turned down the cover of rolling stone. he suggested they get someone off the street and interview them about bob dylan. he said, "why should i prostitute myself to sell magazines for you?"......................................... you played in the pindar of wakefield... "is that a club?" he starts clicking his vast nail thumb excitedly. "ewan maccall and peggy seeger had a club and one night martin carthy brought me down there to have a play. at that time there was all those ballads and the only place you get them was like southern mountain kinda ballads that were from the old country. there were a bunch of people that helped me out with that stuff in the early '60's: martin carthy, bob davenport...just a lot of folk singer type people who ran into me. it was before... well the marquee club was happening, then. who was playing there then? alex? alex korner. alexis korner. that was happening blues. a lot of my early stuff was taken from all that stuff that those guys taught me then."........................................................ where will it all lead? apart from the tour with no end, what's left? "well you're always on tour with no end". ( - world exclusive interview: the wanted man, Q - dylan interviewed by adrian deevoy???????????????????????????? what say you?????????????) p.s no idea why i bought this edition of Q. ahhh, morrissey features and the wedding present. the only conversation the wedding present generated was dave gedge's gedgetarian statement wherein he admits kebab love and chicken curry or some such... as for moz: Q: has your audience change over the years? M: i've noticed dramatic additions and i've noticed that a lot of the crusty old faithfuls have strayed somewhat, away from music. even initially there were older types and younger types. but now i meet so many people who never saw the smiths because they're 15 years of age and so to them they're simply legend. i'm astonished by the variations in types of people who stop me on the street. it can be very fresh-faced young fans, and it can be very serious people who are..heh, heh..shall we say middle-aged? in the prime of their lives, ha ha! quite largely they're very normal people, which is encouraging. quite often if you only read the normal media blurbs on me you'd assume i could only appeal to people who'd either suffered a recent loss or paint themselves black from head to foot, ha ha!".................................................................. did anyone ever get a buzz, cock?

Bobbys6a very private person ♥

I found looking at the lounge chair in the background as appealing as listening to the guest, despite his naf speaking voice.
