Bob Dylan's Birthday Bash--Green & Red Celebrates the legacy and meaning of Dylan. w/ Prof. Michael Foley (G&R 163) - a podcast by Green and Red

Bob Dylan is the most important political singer/songwriter of the 20th Century, and he turns 81 on May 24th, so we had a fantastic discussion with Michael Stewart Foley, one of the preeminent scholars of music and politics and author of "Fresh Fruit and Rotting Vegetables," about the Dead Kennedys, and "Citizen Cash: The Political Life of Johnny Cash." We discussed Dylan's political music and activism, especially on civil rights, his songs about war and peace, and his larger meaning and legacy.
