Don and Ghost of Glenn!
You honor many great recording artists in your songs. Your mention of Don Henley and Glenn Frey on “Murder Most Foul” came off as a bit of a surprise to me. What Eagles songs do you enjoy the most?
“New Kid in Town,” “Life in the Fast Lane,” “Pretty Maids All in a Row.” That could be one of the best songs ever.

Out of all your compositions, “When I Paint My Masterpiece” has grown on me over the years. What made you bring it back to the forefront of recent concerts?It’s grown on me as well. I think this song has something to do with the classical world, something that’s out of reach. Someplace you’d like to be beyond your experience. Something that is so supreme and first rate that you could never come back down from the mountain. That you’ve achieved the unthinkable. That’s what the song tries to say, and you’d have to put it in that context. In saying that though, even if you do paint your masterpiece, what will you do then? Well, obviously you have to paint another masterpiece. So it could become some kind of never ending cycle, a trap of some kind. The song doesn’t say that though.

also love that he attended his own jukebox musical as an "anonymous spectator, not as someone who had anything to do with it" which is the most dylan-y thing i've ever heard

This sort of confirms my read of "When I Paint My Masterpiece" as something like Bob's version of the Japanese concept where you constantly strive through repetition for a perfection you will never reach with the added irony/false modesty that Bob's had himself a fair number of near-masterpieces over the years. Keep on keepin' on as zen mastery.

The Black Rider was a collaboration — Waits, Burroughs, and Robert Wilson. Details here.

You mean no piano or keyboards from Bob? Well, I guess if you have Benmont and Fiona or Alan Pasqua ...
A lot of those session cats (Chamberlain, Mills, Tench) travel in similar Largo circles.

Just realized Garnier's been with Dylan for 31 years...or, more than half of Dylan's career.

I too buy Dylan albums on CD, but less because I'm a weirdo and more because my Tempest LP was, "Hm, lots of sibilance on only this one track." "The pitch is wavering...yep, it's off-center." "Oh, cool, more sibilance, but only on one part of this other track." "Why is it crackly as fuck near the end of one track in the middle of the side?" etc. etc.

I was wondering about this, namely, is this his first big ticket sale since the nu Ticketmaster dynamic pricing kicked in in earnest? We all know Dylan can't possibly gaf, so I wonder what prices will be like.

Not sure about the other venues announced, but the last one on the docket so far, Proctor's Theater in Schenectady, NY is a pretty sweet out-of-left-field choice. Only seats a couple thousand, beautiful place, and in my experience their bread and butter is touring Broadway shows with film screenings to fill dates between. Anyway here's the pricing for that one. Honestly not insane in the current climate, though lol at the fact that having a physical ticket as a memento has become a premium perk:
