EP#8 - The Men the Authorities Came to Blame

Is Dylan’s Lenny Bruce an execrable song, or actually quite good? Which chat show host interviewed both Bob and Lenny? Which seminal album cover featured both of them? What links Peter Cook, Robert de Niro and Bob Fosse? Who is Dylan talking to when he describes Lenny as “more of an outlaw than you ever were?”Was Rubin Carter ever the Number One contender for the Middleweight crown? Who was the portly Irishman who cried out “My God! They’ve killed them all” in Dylan and Levy’s Hurricane? How many lawsuits were initiated by the song (and the movie)? Which Hollywood actress climbed into the ring with Bob? Who is Winston Watson?Song 1: Lenny Bruce https://open.spotify.com/track/5d59AKrvfX5vA4gVQAaEBq?si=5542ab3688874259Song 2: Hurricane https://open.spotify.com/track/1lqMLr9Wj7SM2F9AikGcxN?si=2a74dbf502234f8eAre you a Bobsessive?
