Surely, no innovation in modern human history has gotten so deeply into our psyche — into our hearts and into our very minds — as the railroad.Train imagery fills our art and music, symbolizing so many beginnings … and, well, endings. Here's a train tune from our folk-infused youth.About the SongAs reported here earlier, singer/songwriter Eric Andersen introduced his “Dusty Boxcar Wall” in 1965 on his debut album for Vanguard Records, Today is the Highway.A few years earlier, Andersen dropped out of college in Geneva, NY, and hitchhiked west to San Francisco to try his luck singing solo in North Beach coffeehouses and to seek out his heroes, the poets of the Beat Generation.In liner notes for that first album, Stacey Williams said “Dusty Boxcar Wall” was written “on the Bay Bridge between Berkeley and San Francisco,” adding, “Eric had been performing at the Cabale coffeehouse in Berkeley with a city group that did country music, The Snopes County Camp Followers.”Wanting to do a solo with the Snopes group, according to Williams, Andersen wrote “this archetypal song of death, love and separation.” For more about this seminal Eric Andersen song, see our earlier Flood Watch article by clicking here.More Music, PleaseIf this week's podcast has you in the mood for more tracks about trains, boy, do we have ya covered!

Charlie Bowen remembers a conversation he once had with his old buddy Jim Strother. It was decades ago and the two of them were reminiscing about a time even earlier.“Remember,” Jim said, “when you'd see a fella ramblin' along carrying a guitar case, and he'd have his coat collar turned up against the wind and a cap pulled down over his eyes. “Just one look and you knew everything you needed to know about that guy.” You know, it probably wasn't always spitting snow, but it certainly is in today's fanciful memory of that scene. And the soundtrack? Then and now? Why, it was always an early Bob Dylan tune, wasn't it? Like this one.Those memories came roaring back at last week's rehearsal when the first tune that popped into the guys' heads that evening was “Don't Think Twice, It's All Right,” a song that Charlie loved from 1963's Freewheelin' Bob Dylan album.LearningTo this day Bowen still remembers Strother using the same song to patiently try to teach him the “Merle Travis pick” whose alternating bass characterized so much of 1960s folkdom.Curiously, the young Dylan said he himself was still learning his composition. “It's a hard song to sing,” he told journalist Nat Hentoff, who wrote the liner notes for the album. “I can sing it sometimes, but I ain't that good yet.”Bob noted that he didn't yet know how to “carry myself” the way veteran musicians like Big Joe Williams, Woody Guthrie, Leadbelly and Lightnin' Hopkins did.“With those older singers,” Dylan told Hentoff, “music was a tool, a way to live more, a way to make themselves feel better at certain points. As for me, I can make myself feel better sometimes, but at other times, it's still hard to go to sleep at night.”As repored here earlier, Bob said of “Don't Think Twice” that a lot of city singer “make it sort of a love song — slow and easygoing — but it isn't a love song. It's a statement that maybe you can say to make yourself feel better. It's as if you were talking to yourself.” For more about the song's history, click here for an earlier Flood Watch article.More Music?

Podcast: Dialectic Episode: 50: Tyler Cowen & Nabeel Qureshi - An Appetite For MoreRelease date: 2026-06-30Get Podcast Transcript →powered by Listen411 - fast audio-to-text and summarizationTyler Cowen (Website, X, Marginal Revolution, Conversations with Tyler is an economist at George Mason University, leads the Mercatus Center, and is the author of many books including The Great Stagnation and Average Is Over. He has blogged nearly daily at Marginal Revolution for over 20 years, has interviewed hundreds of world-experts on Conversations with Tyler, and runs Emergent Ventures, a prolific grants program that has funded multiple Dialectic guests. Nabeel S. Qureshi (Website, X, Substack is an entrepreneur, writer, and researcher. He runs a stealth startup. Previously, he was a Visiting Scholar at Mercatus and spent nearly eight years at Palantir. He writes some of my favorite essays, including "What Makes Art Great" and "Rented Virtue", and was previously a guest on Dialectic for episode 13: "The Will to Care." Tyler and Nabeel are good friends, and given how prolific Tyler is, I decided to use Nabeel as an entry point and interview them together. We discuss sacred commitments, AI acceleration, mentorship, friendship, and more, but I focused the majority of the conversation on art and aesthetics. Tyler and Nabeel are unlikely aesthetes given their day jobs, but in fact take art deeply seriously. They have a shared love for and similar tastes in art, music, and film, in particular. We discuss strange and beautiful art, aesthetic stagnation, and a wide range of favorites: The Beatles, Mozart, Mondrian, Springsteen, Lana Del Rey, Kanye West, Cassavetes, The Sopranos, Apichatpong Weerasethakul, and more. Please enjoy, and thank you for supporting, listening, and watching through fifty episodes of Dialectic. I can't wait for the next fifty!
