Bob Dylan: Blood On The Tracks : Music Reviews : Rolling Stone
Rolling Stone – Jun 5, 2008
AgnonAfter years of cold war and cold poetry Bob Dylan in the appropriately titled Bringing It All Back Home decided to earth the lightning in himself. Following the homeopathic poetic principles of Baudelaire and Rimbaud he absorbed and refined the poisons of subterranean homesick life inculating himself with the disease in order to protect himself from it. In “Subterranean Homesick Blues” Dylan was “mixing up the medicine” and in songs like “Just like Tom Thumb’s Blues” and “Stuck inside of Mobile” he upped the dosage and described the scene and the results:Now the rainmangave me two curesThen he said “Jumpright in. “The one was TexasmedicineThe other was justrailroad gin.

Radiators to heat up the Narrows

They’ve been doing it for 30 years now with all their original members and bassist Reggie Scanlan thinks he knows the secret to staying together. “The glib answer is ‘separate hotel rooms’ ” he says from a tour stop in New York “but really playing music is like having a conversation. And as long as you can keep it going and still find interesting things to talk about that’ll go on. ” The Radiators’ jam-oriented approach leads to freeform set lists and concerts — they’re often credited as being one of the forefathers of the jam-band scene — and that helps keep things interesting Scanlan says.
