Alan Light is a special guest on The Paul Leslie Hour!

Are you here? Are you right here? Are you here now? If the answer to any or all of those questions is yes - thank you for tuning in to The Paul Leslie Hour!

For 19 years and counting your host Paul Leslie has been asking all types of people the questions he wants the answers to. This time around, the subject is singer-songwriter Bob Dylan.

You see, on this episode, taped November 1st, 2022, we’re thrilled to welcome Alan Light. He’s a music journalist, book author and radio personality. Alan Light hosts the daily music talk show “Feedback” on Sirius XM. He’s the former editor-in-chief for the magazine Spin and Vibe.

He’s written many inspired words about musicians and songs. Alan Light has wrote some great books and co-wrote one with Gregg Allman and one with Peter Frampton.

You can check out Alan Light’s recent piece in Esquire Magazine. It’s called “Bob Dylan Isn't Done Lying to Us Just Yet.” It’s a review of Dylan’s new book The Philosophy of Modern Song published by Simon & Schuster.

Now, Alan Light has seen Bob Dylan in concert more than 100 times. He came on here for a book talk with Paul, all about The Philosophy of Modern Song by Bob Dylan. I wonder what Alan will have to say?
