Sign on the Window isn't the Bob Dylan podcast you need, but it's definitely the one that you want! Each week we select a Dylan song at random, live with the song for a week (or two) and then get together to discuss. We have FINALLY MADE IT TO EPISODE 100: "Dirge" from 1974's Planet Waves!

Kelly and Daniel visit Planet Waves for the first time since Episode 5 (and include a snippet because those early episodes are basically unlistenable!). We talk dirges, marches and music theory; crypticness as an assett; the differing camps one can view this song through and if it works in 2019, our final song of the year!

  • Context (5:00)
  • Initial takes — Kelly recorded "Dirge" Dirges, marches, 4-4 time (7:00)
  • Song Itself and crypticness as an asset(13:30)
  • Camp Sara (20:00)
  • Camp Burnout of 1960s (29:00)
  • Camp "Love" and Society (34:30)
  • Camp Drugs (40:00)
  • Does it work? (42:00)
  • Playlist (46:30)
  • Recommendations (53:00)
  • Endings (1:00:00)
