Maybe my favorite ten seconds on these tapes. Bob Dylan simply cannot stop thinking about pie.

Who's celebrating the Fifth Day of May

Bob Dylan's little Kristofferson joke on Theme Time Radio Hour after he played a John Prine song

The legend Weird Al criticizing what Spotify pays artists in the video he made FOR Spotify. 🐐🐐🐐

Bruce Springsteen talking about a dinner with Shane MacGowan on his radio show a couple years ago. "All I know is with the exception of Bob Dylan and Chuck Berry… I’m not sure about the rest of us, but I know they'll be singing Shane MacGowan songs 100 years from now."

This story Steve Albini tells Tim Heidecker™ Official about George Thorogood meeting Bob Dylan is, as he's the first to admit, maybe not true. But the way Steve tells it is so damn engaging it barely matters. RIP

Tom Waits giving a rare musical performance in a new documentary about homelessness "In Australia, a matilda is a knapsack. When you're on the road, when you're on the run…and you're walking with a backpack, they say you're waltzing matilda. So this is a song about that."

Scorsese's Rolling Thunder movie premiered five years ago today. One of my favorite moments is this too-brief clip of Dylan performing for a bunch of old ladies playing mahjong.

While we're at it, here's Bob Dylan talking about Shane MacGowan and the Pogues on Theme Time Radio Hour. Iconic delivery of "kiss my ass"

The first soundboard tapes of the entire Rough and Rowdy Ways Tour have landed! Two shows this fall in Glasgow. Here's a taste. Link in reply.

Happy Halloween. Here's Bob Dylan reciting Poe's The Raven and the witches scene in Macbeth.

83 year old Bob Dylan, shirt unbuttoned to the navel, flanked by Tony Garnier and Jim Keltner, ripping a harmonica solo on "Shooting Star." You love to see it.

Obviously Bob Dylan's live-in-person "Baby Let Me Follow You Down" needle drop Happy birthday The Last Waltz!

Bob Dylan singing the Grateful Dead's "Brokedown Palace" in Tokyo a few nights ago for the first time ever.

David Letterman and Paul Shaffer crash a Bob Dylan soundcheck, 1994

Six months after Dubuque, a stage invasion clip I hadn't seen before in Evansville Indiana. It ends with a big group hug.

Elvis Costello covering Dylan's "Goodbye Jimmy Reed" in Chicago last night (after playing an actual Jimmy Reed song), then segueing it into his own "Mystery Dance"

Three studio reels from Bob Dylan's debut album just leaked! Here's a never-heard clip of Bob covering Woody Guthrie's "Ramblin' Round" in the 1961 sessions.

Tom Waits' Real Gone (his second to last album, seemingly) came out 20 years ago today! This "Day After Tomorrow" on the Daily Show remains one of the most powerful late-night performances ever.

2025's hottest trend is covering "Outlaw Blues." Jack White in Hiroshima last night:

Never seen this before: Tom Waits playing a piano on the set of The Ballad of Buster Scruggs in 2018
