    LGM Podcast: He Not Busy Being Born Is Busy Dying

    This book is one of the many things we discuss. Last week, I sat down with Scott and Robert for a freewheeling conversation focused largely on all things Dylan, at least of recent vintage. This included talking about the 27 disc box set of Bob Dylan’s live recordings from 1974 with The Band, which I wrote the liner notes for. Scott is an avowed fan of Before the Flood, and has spent the last several months inhaling all of the shows in the set, which is no small feat, indeed. (Real heads may also remember the time that Robert, Scott and I did a laudatory podcast remembering Robbie Robertson, where Scott’s love of The Band and Robbie was revealed anew.) We also talked A Complete Unknown, the new biopic from James Mangold about Zimmy starring Timothee Chalamet. Did we like the picture? Find out right now. Um, let’s see what else? I believe there was some discussion of the Rolling Thunder Review and the piece I wrote for Pitchfork about Desire. You should also check out Ratso Sloman’s essential book On the Road With Bob Dylan if you really want to get under the hood on the Rolling Thunder Review.  We also reminisced fondly about the late Garth Hudson, the wild, beautiful, eccentric keyboard player for The Band, who left us a couple of weeks ago. For those in need of a comprehensive look at Garth’s incredible career and talent, I encourage you to spend some time with Franz Nicolay’s excellent essay about the man that he wrote for The Ringer.  Also, if you wanna hear a rad version of “Tough Mama” from the 1974 tour that I recommended to Scott since it’s one of his favorites from Planet Waves, head here.  I’m sure there’s a bunch of things I’m forgetting, so just listen to the pod.

    NFL Open Thread: prospect inflation edition

    One thing we discuss in the latest ediiton of our NFL podcast (see below!) is the concerns about the rough rookie season that Caleb Williams is having. I roughly half-buy this apologia for Williams — nobody will confuse Shane Waldron with Andy Reid, the skill talent Chicago has is solid on paper but not a great fit for a McVay-derived system — and it would br way to early to write him off. On the other hand, I think there’s reason for pretty serious concern, starting with the fact that I’m not inclined to just quickly yadda-yadda over the fact that Waldron had above-average offenses two years in a row with Geno Smith at QB. I am, however, going to object to this: The quarterback billed as a generational prospect is off to a generationally disappointing start. Caleb Williams was a good prospect, a solid #1 pick, and that’s all he was. He was not a “generational” prospect. There is by definition not a “generational” pick in most drafts. Williams regressed in his senior year — he wasn’t mentioned on a single Heisman ballot and didn’t deserve to be — and showed a lot of the problems he’s shown at an NFL level. Had the Bears taken Jayden Daniels at #1 this would have been mildly surprising, not shocking. Please stop using this word to describe every B+/A- QB prospect who got buzz before his junior year, Thank you. And BTW one way you can tell that in the NFL tanking is an idiotic strategy is that the last genuinely “generational” prospect to actually become a generational NFL player was Peyton Manning.
