  • EP#22 - Visions of a Sad Eyed Lady
    Jun 22 2026

    In what way does Bob Dylan resemble an Amazon delivery person? Is the Sad Eyed Lady of the Lowlands actually Johanna? Does falling in love always alienate everyone around you? Does an 11 minute, 23 second waltz justify a whole side of vinyl? Are you going to spot the Dylan references in Kerry’s Radio 4 adaptation of THEY SHOOT HORSES, DON’T THEY? on Radio 4 and BBC Sounds, from 19 July?

    Which Nobel Prize-winner is fond of the words “hellcat” and “wench”? When Dylan describes Elvis Costello’s fans, is he really describing Bobsessives? Who read about a dangerous new drug called LSD in Time magazine, then took it? Does The Pretender really pack his own snacks? Who supported Bonnie Raitt at her ‘75 Vancouver gig? What is The Great Googa Mooga? In Witchy Woman, who covers who in cow shit?
