The Philosophy of Modern Song submitted by kevinbr on October 13, 2022, 6:55pm Requesting it; look forward to reading it.

Very Disappointing submitted by KidBlue on November 21, 2022, 11:34am First of all, Bob Dylan comments on 66 songs. Four of them are by women.
Bob comments on songs that are well known, mostly, and some that are not. His comments are a sort of free association, and his flights of fancy take him in some pretty unexpected places.
I did not find his comments to be insightful, and in some cases, nor did they make much sense.
Overall, I did not find them very interesting.
