Visit our website BeautifulIllusions.org for a complete set of show notes and links to almost everything discussed in this episodeSelected References:Bob Dylan lyrics by song titleNo Direction Home: The Life and Music of Bob Dylan by Robert Shelton“I Want You” from Dylan and The Grateful Dead’s 7/4/87 show in Foxboro, MA - not the exact version on the album (in terms of Dylan’s enunciation it’s actually better), but you get the idea.“I Want You” from Bob Dylan’s 1966 masterpiece Blonde on Blonde“Hurricane” and “One More Cup Of Coffee” off the 1976 album Desire“Lily, Rosemary and the Jack of Hearts” from the 1975 album Blood On The Tracks“Love Minus Zero/No Limit” from the 1965 album Bringing It All Back Home“The Man In Me” from the 1970 album New Morning, and famously used in the Coen brother’s extraordinary cult classic movie  “The Big Lebowski”Bruce Springsteen, the 1975 Rolling Stone article “New Dylan From Jersey? It Might As Well Be Springsteen”, “The Members of ‘The Next Bob Dylan’ Club” and “Who Is The Next Bob Dylan?: 10 Songwriters Once Voted Most Likely” Bob Dylan at The Palace Theatre on April 14, 1996 reviewed here in the Hartford CourantTime Out Of Mind won 3 Grammy’s at the 40th Annual Grammy Awards for Album of the Year, Best Contemporary Folk Album, and Best Male Rock Vocal Performance for the song “Cold Irons Bound” - perhaps most memorably Dylan’s performance of “Love Sick” at the show was crashed by a spastically contorting and shirtless Michael Portnoy who infamously had the words “Soy Bomb” painted across his chest - Dylan and the band kept going like the true pros that they are without missing a beat or seeming to acknowledge the intrusion in any way. Also notably “Time Out of Mind” beat out Radiohead’s masterpiece “OK Computer” for Album of the Year.Rick Danko (late, of The Band) joins Bob Dylan for “This Wheel’s On Fire” and then again during the encore for “I Shall Be Released” “Don’t Think Twice, It’s Alright” original version from the 1963 album The Freewheelin’ Bob DylanThe Gibson J-45 Sunburst acoustic guitar - Dylan played the J-45 as his primary acoustic throughout the late 90’s and early 2000’s - it can be seen and heard prominently on this video of “My Back Pages”Is Dylan the greatest songwriter? Try “Rolling Stone Readers Pick the Top 10 Songwriters of All Time” or “The 100 Greatest Songwriters of All Time” (heavily biased towards rock era, but it’s Rolling Stone, so that’s somewhat expected), or try a list from Dave’s Music Database that aggregates 36 other lists, an article/poll from BBC news, an opinion piece from a philosophy professor, or maybe the fact that Dylan won a Nobel Prize in Literature “for having created new poetic expressions within the great American song tradition”Newport concert review (with setlist) from Berkshire Links website, and “Dylan at Newport, 2002” from the blog singer-songwriter/Dylanologist Peter Stone Brown (originally posted on Bobdylan.com), Dylan notably wore a wig and fake beard for the occasion (pic with wig, beard, and J-45)Dylan sang “Only A Pawn In Their Game” and “When the Ship Comes In” (with Joan Baez) as part of a musical program that included Mahalia Jackson, Marian Anderson, Joan Baez, Peter, Paul and Mary, Odetta, and The Freedom Singers, before Martin Luther King gave his famous speech “Bob Dylan’s Influence On The Beatles” from The Flip Side Beatles Blog, and “How Bob Dylan Influenced The Beatles, The Rolling Stones and The Who“ from Far Out Magazine“How Bob Dylan Changed the 60’s, and American Culture”“Bob Dylan, The Beatles, and the Rock of the Sixties” “Is this cave painting humanity’s oldest story?”“Thinking, Fast and Slow” by Daniel Kahneman, or read this excerpt in Scientific AmericanAnother Side of Bob Dylan released in 1964Bob Dylan performing “Maggie’s Farm” at the 1965 Newport Folk Festival, and just because it’s cool here is an awestruck Jason Isbell playing the 1964 Fender Strat that Dylan played at the Newport performance, and here is a bunch of others including Courtney Barnett with the same  guitarFor more on the “Electric Dylan Controversy” see “The Night Bob Dylan Went Electric,” “Dylan goes electric at The Newport Folk Festival,” “July 25, 1965: Dylan Goes Electric at The Newport Folk Festival,” and “Revisit Bob Dylan’s electric performance at Newport Folk Festival 50 years later” -Here’s a good example of an antagonistic interview from the famous Dylan documentary “Don’t Look Back”“How Robert Zimmerman Became Bob Dylan”“My Back Pages” album recording and lyricsThe album Bringing It All Back Home was released on March 22, 1965 a few months before the Newport Folk Festival in July of that same year“It’s All Over Now, Baby Blue” album recording“It Ain’t Me Babe” album recording“Simulacra and Simulations” excerpt from Jean Baudrillard: Selected Writings 1965’s Highway 61 Revisited and the 1966 masterpiece Blonde on Blonde, along with Bringing It All Back Home are widely considered the peak of Dylan’s 60’s outputCheck out the classic video for “Subterranean Homesick Blues”The 2005 documentary “No Direction Home” by Martin Scorsese“Shelter from the Storm” album version This episode was recorded in February 2020The “Beautiful Illusions Theme” was performed by Darron Vigliotti (guitar) and Joseph Vigliotti (drums), and was written and recorded by Darron Vigliotti

Wrixling to platforma, za pomocą której łączysz się na wideoczat z wybranym przez siebie Kierownikiem Zachowania. Następnie przez 25 minut przeprowadzacie wspólnie „operację na słowach”, jak to określa twórca Wrixlingu, amerykański artysta Michael Portnoy. Anna Desponds i Agnieszka Słodownik opowiadają o tym, jak – po perturbacjach technicznych – udało się wreszcie połączyć. A na czym polega sesja? Posłuchajcie. 16. odcinek podkastu ODBIORNIK współtworzą jego słuchacze. Martyna Turska przeprowadziła dla nas wywiad z holenderskim artystą Constantem Dullaartem. Dullaart opowiada o fałszywej magii fotoszopa i o kulturalnym imperializmie, który stoi za mediowanym przez komputery światem. Cały wywiad już wkrótce do czytania na Dwutygodniku. Kolejnym słuchaczem, który się do nas odezwał, jest Richard Grandmorin. Prowadzi podkast ”L'ecole des faqs”, czyli szkołę często zadawanych pytań, w którym wraz z gośćmi rozmawia o tym, jak technologia na nas wpływa i o intymnym doświadczeniu technologii. Spotkaliśmy się porozmawiać o międzynarodowej scenie podkastowej. Z naszej rozmowy wychodzi na to, że warto być przede wszystkim podkasterką..

After much anticipation, we have Mr. Michael Portnoy Esq. and Cousin Murray on the line at the same time. While Mr. Portnoy dislikes the idea that this call was an "audition," their undeniable chemistry is put on display in front of the Barstool audience. Mr. Portnoy calls back after he hears Dave tell the Saturn story again. 

Dave was a guest on Tucker's Carlson show on Friday so we call up Mr. Portnoy to hear what he thought about Dave going on FOX News. Mr. Portnoy thought Dave did pretty well aside from the shape his hair was in. A stoolie made what looked like a video intro for Mr. Portnoy's not-yet confirmed SIRIUS show, and it duped Mr. Portnoy into thinking his show had been greenlit. Mr. Portnoy wants to do an interview-style show because he can be better than Larry King, especially with the help of his jokester best friend Cousin Murray. 

As Rough N Rowdy 1: There Will Be Blood approaches, Ria and Big Cat are starting to get a little nervous that Hank won't beat Tex. Big Cat calls Tex a pussy, and this prompts the two to engage in fisticuffs. Kevin met his hero Mike Francesa yesterday, and that reminds Dave of the time his dad called Boston radio host Eddie Andelman to defend a boxer named Dangerous Dana Rosenblatt. Andelman called Mr. Portnoy a pinhead and Dave will never forget it.

Self-described "Relational Stalinist" Michael Portnoy is on the podcast this week talking about his ludicrous interactive game installations, cutting his teeth in New York's '90s alt-comedy scene, why understanding one's body is crucial for performance, and how to effectively muddy the distinctions between theater, dance, contemporary art, and standup comedy. We're sponsored today by Anheuser-Busch's discontinued pale lager Bud Dry, the single 1994-95 season of ABC's hit teen drama "My So-Called Life", and Andrés Muschietti's forthcoming film adaptation of Stephen King's 1986 clown porn novel "It."
