I mean, you're talking to a person that feels like he's walking around in the ruins of Pompeii all the time. It's always been that way for one reason or another. - Bob Dylan, Rolling Stone Interview (2001) Like all great bards—Homer, the Psalmist, Shakespeare—Bob Dylan's creative superpower is his memory. The power of his art lies not just in what he remembers, but in how he remembers it. And this is the Art of Memory, an ancient technique for making the past become present in the lyric of the artist daring and skilled to mold it to his will. We're talkin' those Dylan and the Ancients blues. Join us for Episode Two of Bob Dylan: About Man and God and Law: The Art of Memory.
