Do we ever get over our first broken heart? What drove Billy Connolly’s kids crazy? What’s the connection between singing and acting? Between Dylan and Hemingway? Burton and Eastwood? Kerry and Ben Whishaw? How many of Dylan’s greatest songs, like Tomorrow Is A Long Time, have only three chords? Whose hills are alive with the sound of music?

Is The Girl on the Red River shore Dylan’s muse? Or is she the girl from the film “Red River”? Is the sun actually the sun? Why has the “door” lyric in the song been replaced on bobdylan.com? Why has Bob never played the song live? How did Dylan’s studio band members rate it? From which poem did Bob borrow “trapped in the fires of time”?

Why are we discussing a Jimi Hendrix tune? Is All Along The Watchtower, Dylan’s most-performed song, a critique of the Music and Acting Industry? Who recorded the most boring cover version? The best? Who in their right mind releases a major album two days after Christmas? How did Elvis come to sing his only Dylan song? Who loves an outlaw? What did Ozzy Osbourne say about the Beatles? What does Daniel Crespin say? What do you say?

What two words from The Ballad of Frankie Lee and Judas Priest keep us up at night? What did The Saturday Evening Post say about Dylan and his manager? Is Judas Priest a band or a minced oath? What were the terms of Bob’s recording contract after 1967? What do Disraeli Gears, the first Doors album and Donovan’s Greatest Hits have in common?

"There's very little you can say about the music industry that's not true", says our first guest, the legendary Mr David Hepworth, in this special extended episode (available in both audio and video formats). But does he really believe that Dylan invented the pop-punk band Busted? Where does he say is the best place to listen to Nick Drake outtakes? Has attending a Bruce Springsteen concert "turned into football"? Who does David think is at the top of the pecking order: Cruise, McCartney, or Dylan? And what's it like walking into a room directly behind Mick Jagger?

Why did Mandy Patinkin use his Johnny Cash voice when covering 'Lily, Rosemary and the Jack of Hearts'? Has there ever been a more unreliable narrator than Bob Dylan? Or a more out-of-tune harmonica intro? Was Bob's acting in 'Masked and Anonymous' awful, or way ahead of its time? Was Rocky Raccoon a Dylan tribute song? Do pen-knives actually kill?

Is 'Motorpsycho Nitemare' the first draft of 'Bob Dylan's 115th Dream?' How does Rita - the farmer's daughter - manage to look like Anita Ekberg and Tony Perkins simultaneously? Why does the song's protagonist dig Fidel Castro's beard specifically and cows in general? Can an "unpatriotic, rotten, Doctor, Commie rat" actually pound a farmhouse?
