About this episode

The episode discusses Bob Dylan's recent reclusive behavior and the upcoming Bootleg Series, connecting these themes to a historical essay on art and technology.

At the most recent Outlaw shows, Bob Dylan has been shielding himself from view and it’s become a pretty popular talking point last week. I’ve been thinking about that as well as the upcoming Bootleg Series, filtered it through a 90 year old essay on art and technology and this is the result. <3 You can support Definitely Dylan on Patreon or with a one-off donation at buymeacoffee.com/definitelydylan.
