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. This week we talk "T.V. Talkin' Song" from 1990's Under the Red Sky.

In lieu of everything happening in the world, we've been super-sizing episodes and this is no different. In this episode, we discuss:

  • Rough and Rowdy Ways talk (3:30)
  • Initial Thoughts (7:00)
  • Context (9:00)
  • Versions (10:00)
  • The song itself (18:00) — including Bruce Hornsby's relentless piano, fake anecdotes, Hyde Park, lyrics and lyrical differences
  • Does this work today? (40:00)
  • Playlist (50:00) and Recommendations (1:00:00)
  • Special outro, featuring previously recorded material, to introduce our last Music Video Month (1:12:00)

As always, full show notes at our website. You can also follow along with our weekly real-time Spotify playlist – See That My Playlist is Kept Clean – or just listen to this episode's playlist and join the conversation on the usual suspects: Twitter, Facebook, Instagram.
