Podcast appearances and mentions of Richard F Thomas

Sim, é verdade. Temos um novo KrameriKast Klassic. Deve ter ouvinte que nem sabe o que era essa série de episódios... E esse é um dos que mais me deram orgulho de ter feito por diversos motivos.Em primeiro lugar, eu estava adiando de fazê-lo há não menos que 3 anos, nunca me senti digno de falar dessa obra. Além disso, ainda que pessoalmente eu o considere um pouco superestimado em relação a outros de Dylan, é um álbum muito especial para mim, tendo minha música favorita, "Idiot Wind". Devo muito ao Bob Dylan pela minha personalidade, mas isso aqui é uma questão mais pessoal. Blood on the Tracks é notoriamente associado ao relacionamento de Dylan com sua musa, a ex-coelhinha da Playboy Sara Dylan, ainda que em sua autobiografia ele o tenha negado. Também tenho minhas dúvidas, e acredito que outros também, afinal nos últimos anos se tornou a obra mais renomada de Dylan, talvez pela década mais sensível em detrimento dos anos 2000 e 1990 mais irreverentes.Sendo uma obra mais pessoal e íntima, não foquei tanto na parte musical e sim na biografia e contexto das músicas.Foi um tanto complicado juntar todas as ideias que tive para esse episódio, usei de referência Richard F. Thomas, Michael Gilmour, Scott Marshall, Jonathan Cott e, claro, o próprio Dylan. Estou genuinamente orgulhoso do resultado final, espero não ter vergonha dele daqui a uns dois ou três anos.Visite: https://kramericast.xyzDoe: https://kramericast.xyz/donate.htmlCrie conta no Odysee: https://odysee.com/$/invite/@Monk's:eEntre no espaço do Matrix: https://matrix.to/#/#raro-e-diferente:matrix.orgCanal do Telegram: https://t.me/raroediferenteRedes sociais: https://kramericast.xyz/links.html

We celebrate Bob Dylan's 80th birthday with three different takes. Gayle Wald is a professor of American Studies at George Washington University. Howard Sounes is the author of Down the Highway: The Life of Bob Dylan (Grove Press). And Richard F. Thomas is a professor of the Classics at Harvard and the author of Why Bob Dylan Matters (Dey Street Books). All three share unique insights. Photo credit: Hennepin Theater Trust

Harvard Classics professor Richard Thomas discusses his book "Why Bob Dylan Matters" and offers his opinions on Bob Dylan's latest album "Rough and Rowdy Ways."

When the Nobel Prize for Literature was awarded to Bob Dylan in 2016, a debate raged. Some celebrated, while many others questioned the choice. How could the world’s most prestigious book prize be awarded to a famously cantankerous singer-songwriter who wouldn’t even deign to attend the medal ceremony? In Why Bob Dylan Matters (Dey Street, 2017), Harvard Professor Richard F. Thomas answers this question with magisterial erudition. A world expert on Classical poetry, Thomas was initially ridiculed by his colleagues for teaching a course on Bob Dylan alongside his traditional seminars on Homer, Virgil, and Ovid. Dylan’s Nobel Prize brought him vindication, and he immediately found himself thrust into the spotlight as a leading academic voice in all matters Dylanological. Today, through his wildly popular Dylan seminar—affectionately dubbed "Dylan 101"—Thomas is introducing a new generation of fans and scholars to the revered bard’s work. This witty, personal volume is a distillation of Thomas’s famous course, and makes a compelling case for moving Dylan out of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and into the pantheon of Classical poets. Asking us to reflect on the question, "What makes a classic?", Thomas offers an eloquent argument for Dylan’s modern relevance, while interpreting and decoding Dylan’s lyrics for readers. The most original and compelling volume on Dylan in decades, Why Bob Dylan Matters will illuminate Dylan’s work for the Dylan neophyte and the seasoned fanatic alike. You’ll never think about Bob Dylan in the same way again. Aven McMaster and Mark Sundaram are historians and the hosts of the excellent podcast The Endless Knot. Learn more about your ad choices.

Thomas, Harvard Classics professor and author of the new book Why Bob Dylan Matters, which explores the literary themes linking the beloved American songwriter with the ancient poets of Greece and Rome.
