We're joined by author Andrew Muir, who has seen about 200 Dylan shows since becoming a fan in the early 70s. He shares stories from his travels, including when upon meeting his wife he traded one-liners about Bob, when he chatted with Bob in Camden during the Blood In My Eyes video shoot, and when he traveled to St. Andrews to see Bob receive his honorary doctorate. He also talks about his book One More Night: Bob Dylan's Never Ending Tour, friendships with other fans, tape trading, information hotlines, fanzines, and how Bob's career and art parallel Shakespeare's. Listen as we barely scratch the surface while breaking the 2-hour barrier.
