Bob Dylan's Theme Time Radio [episode #1: "Weather" ] broadcast - May 3, 2006
“We forget how much Elvis wanted to be Dean,” Dylan says as an aside as he introduces Dean Martin's Dixieland version of "I Don't Care if the Sun Don't Shine" on episode one of "Theme Time.”
Actually it's the first time the idea had occurred to me. But as usual with Dylanesque statements, it makes more sense the more you look into it. In "Elvis & Dino" an updated version of an article Chris Spedding wrote for Musician magazine, he writes...
... The office manager of Sam Phillips' Sun Records studio in Memphis, Marion Keisker, tells of a not entirely successful first audition Presley had with Phillips. According to Marion, Sam asked Elvis to run through some of his repertoire, which seemed to lean so heavily on Dean Martin stuff, she thought Elvis had decided "...if he was going to sound like anybody, it was going to be Dean Martin."
While Elvis was probably inspired by Martin's version of “I Don't Care if the Sun Don't Shine," more accurately both Presley and Martin were covering Patti Page's 1950 Top 10 hit.
"I Don't Care..." was written by Mack David (Tin Pan Alley tunesmith and brother of Hal David) originally for the Disney version of Cinderella, believe it or not. The song was dropped from the movie without ever being recorded, as far as I can tell, which seems to have been a smart decision. The mind boggles at Cinderella and Prince Charming singing it...

The Walker Brothers hadden in de 60-er jaren verschillende grote hits, maar dit nummer is nooit op single uitgebracht. "Love Minus Zero" is geschreven door Bob Dylan en dit is een clip uit het tv-programma "Beatclub"
I've just reached a place Where the willow don't bend. There's not much more to be said It's the top of the end. I'm going, I'm going, I'm gone.
I'm closin' the book On the pages and the text And I don't really care What happens next. I'm just going, I'm going, I'm gone.
I been hangin' on threads, I been playin' it straight, Now, I've just got to cut loose Before it gets late. So I'm going, I'm going, I'm gone.
Grandma said, "Boy, go and follow your heart And you'll be fine at the end of the line. All that's gold isn't meant to shine. Don't you and your one true love ever part."
I been walkin' the road, I been livin' on the edge, Now, I've just got to go Before I get to the ledge. So I'm going, I'm just going, I'm gone.

At first called "Dylan's God-Awful Gospel" by his most loyal fans, Bob Dylan's Jesus Years are today regarded as among the best of his career. How did a Jewish folk singer from the Midwest come to Jesus? Finally, here is an insider's view of Bob Dylan's "Born Again" transformation, and its effect on his life and music.
In late 1978, Bob Dylan fell into the Arms of the Lord through the Vineyard Christian Fellowship Church. In his first-ever interview, Dylan's Bible class teacher, Pastor Bill Dwyer, details Bob Dylan's embrace of Jesus Christ and Christianity. Dylan then made three Gospel albums, winning a Grammy for Gotta Serve Somebody. However, Dylan's radical new direction alienated fans and enraged critics as he preached apocalyptic messages from the Book of Revelation.
Known as the "Funky Jewish King of Black Music," the legendary Atlantic Records executive produced Dylan's Slow Train Coming (1979) and Saved (1980) albums.

The genius of Bob Dylan becomes more and more apparent as time marches on, and one of the most talked-about periods of his long and storied career remains his jaw-dropping conversion to Christianity in 1979, which produced some great, Grammy-winning music but invoked the same polarized reaction as did his plugging in at Newport back in 1965.
This fascinating story is captured here in a series of "I was there" interviews with musicians, participants and observers. Director and Producer Joel Gilbert (Bob Dylan 1966 World Tour-The Home Movies and Bob Dylan World Tours 1966-1974-Through the Camera of Barry Feinstein) weaves the fascinating tale of this remarkable period in Dylan's life with video footage, rare photos, ephemera and memorabilia, and - most importantly - new, exclusive interviews with the likes of legendary record producer Jerry Wexler, keyboardist Spooner Oldham, vocalist Regina McCreary, writer Al Kasha and long-time San Francisco Chronicle rock critic Joel Selvin. Also included are reminisces from old Dylan chum Izzy Young and old Dylan nemesis A.J. Weberman. Many of these participants have never spoken about Dylan on camera before.
Producer Gilbert, a renowned Dylan expert and musician in his own right, goes behind the scenes and asks the probing questions that reveal much of the motivation behind Dylan's actions during this highly turbulent period.
For example, in his first-ever interview, Dylan's Bible Class teacher, Pastor Bill Dwyer, reveals the history of Dylan's early Christian period. It's a fascinating peek into some private moments that helped create revolutionary music that Dylan fans still talk about to this day. Inside Bob Dylan's Jesus Years provides an exciting, fun and educational experience for anyone who appreciates Dylan's music.
Vineyard Christian Fellowship Church Pastor Bill Dwyer
So many people try to create controversy, that they blur the real story. It is nice to see an honest, yet fascinating look at how Bob Dylan came to the Lord the way it all really happened.
Nearly three decades of summers since Slow Train Coming captivated new and old believers, a revealing documentary
Inside Bob Dylan's Jesus Years is the only project of its kind to explore the years during which Dylan was scandalizing the pop-culture world with recordings and performances that proclaimed Jesus Christ as the only way to salvation.
By interviewing members of Dylan's ever-shifting inner circles and acute observers on its periphery, Director Joel Gilbert provides a wealth of insight into both the singer-songwriter and the effect of evangelism on contemporary society as a whole.
Christians will find Gilbert's interviews with those directly involved in Dylan's gospel music particularly interesting. Veteran producer, the late Jerry Wexler, for instance, describes the often humorous challenges faced in recording Slow Train Coming with a largely religiously indifferent ensemble.
Elsewhere, keyboardist Spooner Oldham and background singer Regina McCrary give firsthand accounts of performing Dylan's all-gospel sets to often hostile crowds. Providing equally revealing context are Joel Selvin (the San Francisco Chronicle critic whose panning of Dylan's new show both captured and helped set the tone for its hostile reception), Al Kasha (the award-winning songwriter and Messianic Jew at whose home Dylan composed portionsof Slow Train Coming), and Mitch Glaser (the Jews for Jesus leader responsible for providing,at Dylan's request, on-the-spot evangelism and tract distribution at the San Francisco shows).
Gilbert's real coup, however, was coaxing Pastor Bill Dwyer, the teacher of the Vineyard Christian Fellowship Bible class that Dylan attended for several months, to speak on the record for the first time. Dwyer explains in uninterrupted detail what it means to be "born again," as does Dylan himself at one point, albeit in more elliptical terms on Pittsburgh's KDKA TV in 1980. "I can understand why they're rebellious about it," says Dylan, referring to the poor response of his gospel-tour audiences to his new music. "Up until the time the Lord came into my life, I didn't know nothing about this. I was just as rebellious and didn't think much about it either way."
AndersonVision.com Troy Anderson - Sept. 25, 2008
In 1978, Bob Dylan embarked on a spiritual journey that resulted in three gospel albums. This documentary explores these "Jesus Years" through frank interviews and concert footage, revealing the albums' place in Dylan's oeuvre. The outrage expressed by fans and critics at the time is offset with reflections from Dylan's producer and religious advisers and a journey to the studio and church that launched the phenomenon.
I've only been slightly familiar with Dylan's work from this era. "Gotta Serve Somebody" was his biggest hit, but even that song was a radical departure from his previous hit with "The Hurricane".
What could possess a popular artist to make such a radical shift? That question was only partially answered by this documentary and it went about in the most roundabout way. The documentary seemed more fascinated with various points of view about the circumstances. Not having Dylan there to actually discuss his personal journey put a damper on the events. But, the documentary still worked without him.
The DVD is a fun release that shows off Bob Dylan in all of his glory. This is the kind of release sporting amazing live performances and quirky events that makes us music fanatics go nuts. I love classic performers who stray off the conventional path. The A/V Quality is amazing for the various sources and ages from which the clips originated. That's why I recommend it for a blind buy.

For the first time in probably forever, we had a weekend hatch more Meg related tips come in than those detailing the exploits of her other Whitewall, but still a lot of you wrote us about Jack's recent sit-ins with Bob Dylan down in Nashville last week. Larcenous with the titlist from the 9/19 shooting that JACk joined Bob for the first-ever concert performance of "Meet Me In The Morning," but the clip we excavated comes from the next night when, while still at the Ryman Auditorium, the two paired up on "One More Cup Of Coffee." Interesting to hear the contrast in the present state of their voices -- one gruff and worn, the other crackling, and wailing -- and as always with these live digit clips, much less interesting to actually watch. But you should click play anyway.
