Bob Dylan Approximately

EP#4 - Lily, Rosemary, Jack & Tony Perkins

06 Oct 2025

Description

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?Song 1: Lily, Rosemary and the Jack of Hearts https://open.spotify.com/track/4MKun9QQhoapVvhp2uxJif?si=52fcd279bb0e4e51Song 2: Motorpsycho Nitemare https://open.spotify.com/track/0ioneAuNJzdZmKCOi9XaYN?si=8256b049438149b8Are you a Bobsessive?
