Episode 15: The Spirit of Idiocy, Part 2 Each and Every Door

    • Musikgeschichte

More explorations here into what is going on with Bob Dylan's song, "Idiot Wind."  Mal and Jay dive into "alternative tunings" and ancient Jewish scholars, but don't let that discourage you  -- there are real treasures here!  (How is that for a pitch?   "Here is some stuff that doesn't sound appealing at all, but stick with it anyway."  It sounds like I'm trying to teach a history class. Or sociology.   Oh, well.  This is what daily life is like for us professors.)   At least you get to hear some interesting Dylan clips to help you see why so many people consider this to be a great song.
