Audio: ‘Michael Goldberg On Dylan In True Love Scars!’ on Australian Radio – Listen Now – Plus David Kinney & Bill Wyman on Dylan

Recently I was interviewed at length by Triple R radio’s Brian Wise, who DJ’s a three-hour show every week called “Off the Record.”

Last Saturday the first of four or five segments from the interview aired on “Off the Record.” That segment focused on Bob Dylan and included some discussion of why Dylan is so important to the narrator of my novel, True Love Scars.

As part of his show, Wise also interviewed David Kinney, author of The Dylanologists, and music critic Bill Wyman talking about Dylan.

I was also recorded reading from my True Love Scars, and two sections about Dylan are part of the first segment.

You’ll find a transcript of the interview here at the Australian Addicted To Noise site, but if you listen you’ll hear me read two excerpts from the novel that are about how Bob Dylan has impacted the narrator’s life.

The Kinney and Wyman interviews follow the one with me.

Listen to “Off the Record” here.

[I just published my rock ‘n’ roll/ coming-of-age novel, “True Love Scars,” which features a narrator who is obsessed with Bob Dylan. To read the first chapter, head here.

Or watch an arty video with audio of me reading from the novel here.]

Nobel Prize For Bob Dylan?

In a fascinating Op/Ed piece in today’s (Spet. 29, 2013) New York Times titled “Knock, Knock, Knockin’ on Nobel’s Door,” culture critic Bill Wyman argues that it’s time for the Swedish Academy to honor Dylan, “a fierce and uncompromising poet whose writing, 50 years on, still crackles with relevance,” and give him the Nobel Prize in Literature.
