Nothing Is Revealed

• The Never Ending Tour

  Adam's claim is that the Never Ending Tour is the best thing that Bob Dylan has ever done. That would mean it is above the 1966 world tour, Blood On The Tracks, the Rolling Thunder Revue, and everything else he has ever put to tape, toured, painted, sculpted, and/or malted, mashed, fermented, distilled, and aged. It is a bold claim, but one that Adam backs up with hard facts. On this episode, we (but primarily Adam) explore what the Never Ending Tour is, how it has evolved over time, and why it is the best thing that Dylan has ever done. You may not agree with our conclusions, but you cannot deny how unprecedented the Never Ending Tour really is.   *Notice/Correction: Jens misspoke when referring to Horsegirl as an all female band. Horsegirl is a band composed of Nora Cheng (she/her), Penelope Lowenstein (she/her), and Gigi Reece (they/them).*   NET YouTube Playlist: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLO-inG2Ys329ktE5tpIamCAXVAwYJZFJa&si=fp2uyv5Y1gjWo3lK   The Podcast: @nothingisrevealed Adam: @dylan.ology Jens: @dylan_ologist Email us: [email protected]   Thank you, Thomas Francis (@thomasfrancisfolk), for the podcast soundtrack.

• Changing of the Guards: Dylan's Christian Era

  Bob Dylan's "Christian Era" is one of his strangest, and perhaps most controversial, eras. The songs were about God, Jesus, and man giving names to all the animals, while his concerts were filled with fire and brimstone sermons between songs. On this episode, we seek to contextualize this often overlooked and misunderstood period in his illustrious career.    The Podcast: @nothingisrevealed Adam: @dylan.ology Jens: @dylan_ologist Email us: [email protected]   Thank you, Thomas Francis (@thomasfrancisfolk), for the podcast soundtrack.

• The Rolling Thunder Revue

  White face makeup, a hat with ornate flowers, and an energy, an exuberance yet to be seen from the enigmatic Dylan are on full display in what many consider to be his most iconic era. The Rolling Thunder Revue was a 1975–76 concert tour by Bob Dylan. The purpose of the tour was to allow Dylan to play in smaller auditoriums in less populated cities where he could be more intimate with his audiences. Join Adam and Jens as they give a brief history of the legendary Rolling Thunder Revue.   The Podcast: @nothingisrevealed Adam: @dylan.ology Jens: @dylan_ologist Email us: [email protected]   Thank you, Thomas Francis (@thomasfrancisfolk), for the podcast soundtrack.

• Desire Revisited

  A ✨Mystical✨ Album Deep Dive Desire is one of Bob Dylan's most fascinating records. It deviates significantly from any of his previous albums in more ways than one. Blood on the Tracks, for example, was a memorial to personal and romantic trauma that traced an outline around a generation who prized individual freedoms to the point of self-annihilating alienation, whereas Desire is about getting stoned and strange and trying to forget all of that. So, sit back, relax, and enjoy one more cup of coffee as we break down an album that stands as a powerful statement in his ever-evolving musical legacy.   The Podcast: @nothingisrevealed Adam: @dylan.ology Jens: @dylan_ologist Email us: [email protected]   Thank you, Thomas Francis (@thomasfrancisfolk), for the podcast soundtrack.

• Bob Dylan v. The Press

  “Keep a Good Head and Always Carry a Lightbulb” —Bob Dylan   Throughout his career, Bob Dylan has had a unique relationship with the press. At times, he has expressed concerns that the media misquotes him and takes his answers out of context. He has also said that he doesn't like giving press interviews because of these concerns. In the 60's he had to shed the "Spokesman of a Generation" label that the media was slapping on him. In the 80's, he had to reject the notion that he was a washed up musician from the 60's. Fame and celebrity are complicated, but this is how myths and legends grow.   The Podcast: @nothingisrevealed Adam: @dylan.ology Jens: @dylan_ologist Email us: [email protected]   Thank you, Thomas Francis (@thomasfrancisfolk), for the podcast soundtrack.
