{Like This, Read That} Shelter from the Storm by Bob Dylan
This particular feature is still being figured out, but as I’ve done TV shows (Gilmore Girls, Twin Peaks) and books (‘Salem’s Lot), I thought I might try a song. When I’m not feeling particularly great, I listen to Bob Dylan – and there’s been a lot of Bob Dylan listening lately. Anyway, ‘Shelter from theContinue reading “{Like This, Read That} Shelter from the Storm by Bob Dylan”
