Dylan items in the ‘traditional media’.

Slow news week - nothing really significant in this section. :-)

• Cate Blanchett Played Dylan with a Sock In Her Pants (Independent.co.uk)

  • “A friend of mine who’s a make-up artist said to me a few days into the shoot: ‘Put a sock down your pants!’” she explained.

• Dylan's Whisky Brand Unveils 10-Year Bourbon (RollingStone)

  • "The whiskey is bottled at 100 proof and features notes of maple, poached pear and banana on the nose, with a toffee and bitter chocolate palate. The finish is long and silky, with a hint of leather and earthiness."

• An oral history of Happy Valley (GQ)

  • " I was told that Bob Dylan likes Happy Valley – and whether that’s true or not, I don’t know. I suppose music stars have to watch telly, don’t they?"
