My Problem With Bob Dylan

About this episode

Jerry Sander reflects on his long-standing feelings of annoyance and confusion regarding Bob Dylan's persona and music.

Some thing(s) have been percolating, in the arena of being annoyed/confused or just disappointed, by many of Mr. Dylan's ways ever since I first heard listened to him as a 12 year-old in the basement of my suburban home. I finally get around -- 59 years later? -- to unpacking them and having a reckoning, of sorts, with Robert Zimmerman/Bob Dylan.
