The Dylanologists

• Simple Twist of Fate

  We asked and you voted—"Simple Twist of Fate" was declared the winner of a recent Instagram fan poll. Blame it on a simple twist of fate... Track 2 on "Blood On The Tracks" is easily one of the most popular songs on the beloved album. It is a song overflowing with evocative and visceral imagery—you may even feel a spark tingle in your bones or an emptiness inside to which no one can relate. Either way, grab your talking parrot, head for the arcade, and watch out... for a simple twist of fate.   The Podcast: @TheDylanologistsPod Adam: @dylan.ology Jens: @dylan.ologist Email us: [email protected]   Thank you, Thomas Francis (@thomasfrancisfolk), for the podcast soundtrack.

• Ballad of a Thin Man

  Grab your pencils and walk into the nearest room... this week we explore Adam's favorite Bob Dylan song—Ballad of a Thin Man (don't worry—no one is naked here). Ballad of a Thin Man is another song that has been interpreted a multitude of ways—it's about a journalist, the folk scene, Joan Baez, racism, LGBTQ+ rights, and/or Dylan himself. Something is happening here, but you don't know what it is. Perhaps that is the point, Mister Jones...   The Podcast: @TheDylanologistsPod Adam: @dylan.ology Jens: @dylan.ologist Email us: [email protected]   Thank you, Thomas Francis (@thomasfrancisfolk), for the podcast soundtrack.

• Visions of Johanna

  This week we explore Jens's favorite Bob Dylan song—Visions of Johanna. Visions of Johanna is a song that defies simple analysis or explanation. It is overflowing with rich, textured imagery. It is one of Dylan’s most beloved, debated, and surreal epics, yet it all boils down to one simple truth: he misses Johanna, whoever that may be. Infinity isn't the only thing going up on trial...   The Podcast: @TheDylanologistsPod Adam: @dylan.ology Jens: @dylan.ologist Email us: [email protected]   Thank you, Thomas Francis (@thomasfrancisfolk), for the podcast soundtrack.

• Changing of the Guards

  Welcome to "episode 1" of The Dylanologists. This week we tackle a song that was voted in by our followers on Instagram. "Changing of The Guards" was a marked shift for Dylan in more ways than one. Endless interpretations abound, but maybe that's the point—sometimes things aren't black and white; a situation can be interpreted 1,000 different ways; life is never really all that straight forward anyway. This song is emblematic of Dylan during a pivotal period in his life and career. It gives us a glimpse into the mind of a legend who was about to shock the world by converting to Evangelical Christianity. The guards really were about to change.   The Podcast: @TheDylanologistsPod Adam: @dylan.ology Jens: @dylan.ologist Email us: [email protected]     Thank you, Thomas Francis (@thomasfrancisfolk), for the podcast soundtrack.
