    How did it feel when Kerry went out on tour with Scarlet Rivera and Rob Stoner? Was “Joey” included in the set? Why? Which band member swears like a sailor?

  • EP#24 - Honest with Me #12 & 35
    Jul 20 2026

    Who was the tambourine man on Rainy Day Women #12 & 35? Who claimed the song was “one of the protestiest of all things I’ve protested against”. What’s the title’s mathematical/Biblical significance? What’s our opinion of the Dylan lists in Rolling Stone magazine? Where do Rosa Parks, St Stephen and JFK figure? What’s a more dangerous rhyme for “tryin’ to make a buck”?


    Is Honest With Me about a back-footed love affair or something too terrible to be true? What’s the link between a demolition derby and an ice hockey game? Why is tossing a baseball bat in the air actually rather dangerous? Ever noticed the Double Dip in “imperial empire”? Is Cameron Winter the newest Dylan? Is everybody in the world crazy except for me and you?


    Recorded at Cathouse Studios, Islington, London

    Who recites a brand new seven minute poem at the encore of his first major concert? (hint: not Bruce Springsteen) Do you whine if the wine don't come to the top of your cup? Which disappointing poetry book inspired the BDA lettering? Which poem inspired Dan to get his life together? Who juxtaposes words like "burp" and "gallant"? What is Dylan's lexicon? Is hope a dangerous thing?
