Podcast appearances and mentions of dylan liberation front

Listen to the full hour-long episode by subscribing to patreon.com/reelpolitik In the second and final instalment of our series on Bob Dylan and his ultimate superfan/mortal enemy AJ Weberman - Vol. 3 - Weberman, David Peel and their Dylan Liberation Front comrades put on a demonstration in front of Dylan's house in Woodstock, NY sometime in late 1970. as told in Weberman's 1971 article in underground publication the East Village Other. Master and disciple come to verbal blows: Weberman calls Dylan a fucking capitalist, and Dylan tauntingly asks who writes better songs than him, making up bullshit lyrics on the spot to fuck with Weberman, who sneers at Dylan "what are you, a weatherman?" (Bob has a lyric or two about rain.) Once again, any and all readings from the work of Weberman are set to instrumental music from throughout Dylan's career, with his quotes from the songs of Dylan illustrated by pertinent clips.

AJ Weberman is an American hero: a radical leftist in the 1960s, former defence secretary of the Dylan Liberation Front, he is the inventor of the closely related sciences of Dylanology and Garbology, and author of the Dylan-to-English Dictionary, which he wrote after decades of Dylan study while doing a one-year bid for money laundering in connection with the sale of marijuana. His restless pursuit of the Garbological arts, and of the true meaning behind Dylan's ever-elusive lyrics, led him to fall on the wrong side of the diminutive folk-rocker's fists in the early 1970s. In the 1980s, the police suspected him of using the proceeds of his pot dealing to pay for hits on Nazi war criminals living in the United States. In the 2000s, the Garbologist was Garbologised, when the FBI raided his bins and found evidence of criminal activity, which was when he took advantage of his incarceration and wrote his magnum opus. In this episode, we root through the figurative garbage of AJ Weberman and his nemesis, Mr Robert "Bob Dylan" Zimmerman.

Alan Jules Weberman (born May 26, 1945), better known as A. J. Weberman, is an American writer, political activist/gadfly, and popularizer of the terms garbology and "Dylanology." He is best known for his controversial personal confrontations with the musician Bob Dylan and for his 30-year involvement with the Yippies, a counterculture movement of the 1960s. He was also an activist in the Jewish Defense Organization, said by the Anti-Defamation League to be a militant Revisionist Zionist organization regarded as a branch of Kahanism, but which professes to be a Jabotinskyite organization.A.J. Weberman has written on the life and works of Bob Dylan, leaving college to focus on creating what he calls a word concordance of Dylan's lyrics. Although a strong advocate of Dylan's importance as an artist, he is less supportive of Dylan the man.Weberman's literary analysis of Dylan's work, which he has termed "Dylanology," is centered around Weberman's assertion that, to Dylan, many words have lesser-used meanings differing, sometimes greatly, from their common definitions. According to Weberman, "Rain", for instance, often means "hatred" in a Dylan song. Dylan wrote, "Father of love / Father of rain" in a song where opposites are contrasted.Rolling Stone magazine has called Weberman "the king of all Dylan nuts." They report an incident where Dylan, annoyed by Weberman and his associates who were constantly digging through his garbage, assaulted Weberman outside Dylan's apartment. In a different article, Rolling Stone reports that Weberman, "a man that terrorized Bob Dylan during the '60s," had now "returned to hassle his son," Jakob Dylan. Weberman claimed that the younger Dylan was a heroin addict.Weberman later applied his unusual research methods to Richard Nixon, Norman Mailer, and other celebrities, coining the term "garbology" to describe his methods and writing the book My Life in Garbology. Cultural anthropology anthropologists such as Dr. William A. Rathje of the University of Arizona conduct expeditions analyzing garbage to understand culture.Weberman attempted to expand his "Dylan Liberation Front" into a "Rock Liberation Front", intended to pressure pop musicians into greater political activity.Weberman, along with the Jewish Defense Organization, and JDO chief Mordechai Levy, were successfully sued for libel to the tune of $850,000 by Steven Paul Rombom, a PI arrested for impersonating an FBI Agent. Weberman has also studied the 1963 assassination of US President John F. Kennedy and was employed by the late Congressman Henry Gonzalez of Texas and Senator Richard Schweiker of Pennsylvania.[citation needed] Weberman's book on the subject, Coup D’Etat In America, postulates the assassination as part of a coup d'etat led by rogue CIA agents Howard Hunt, Frank Sturgis (a contract agent) and David Christ, Head of the TSD of the CIA, angered by Kennedy's failure to remove Fidel Castro from power. The book includes transparent overlays, as in an anatomy textbook, so that the reader can compare the faces of the tramps briefly arrested in Dallas with photos of E. Howard Hunt and Frank Sturgis. Weberman's assertion that Hunt was involved in this action led Hunt to initiate a lawsuit, later dropped. Before his death in 2005, Hunt told his son that he had been involved in the JFK assassination. In 2005, Weberman and other well-known Yippies, including Dana Beal and Pie Man (Aron Kay), joined forces to turn the long-time Yippie headquarters at 9 Bleecker Street on Manhattan's Lower East Side into a counterculture museum. As of 2006, renovation of the building has been partially completed, and a charter from the New York State Board of Regents has been granted. Weberman, who is a member of the Yippie Museum's board of trustees, announced in early 2006, in a typical display of Yippie spoofery, that the museum would house an Institute for the Study of Advanced Political Protest.Recordings of telephone conve
