Inside The Making of Masked and Anonymous (Uproxx)
"When I told Charles this last week during a Zoom call, he shared a surprising revelation: What I have seen truly is the straightforward version of Masked And Anonymous. The actually bonkers incarnation is the original three-and-a-half-hour cut culled from a sprawling 155-page screenplay that Dylan insisted — against the pleas of the film’s producers — that Charles shoot in its entirety."
No More Mortgage In The Highlands - Bob Sells Scottish Castle (BBC)
"The 16-bedroom A Listed property was purchased by Dylan and his brother, David, in 2006, for £2.2m.“They bought it as a base. They’ve not been able to use it in recent years and that’s the reason for the sale. Up until about pre-Covid times, Bob and his brother would normally go there for a few weeks a year."
Dylan Adds Bourbon to Heaven's Door Whiskey Range (The Spirits Business)
"Ascension Kentucky straight Bourbon joins the brand’s Tennessee straight Bourbon, double barrel whiskey, and straight rye whiskey in the core range."
R&RW Tour Covers Pt.4 (Untold Dylan)
"A set of nine recordings of Dylan’s covers of other people’s songs appears at the end of the article."
Growing Up With Visits from Dylan (Sun Sailor)
"He recalled Dylan stopping by in 1982 to give Marilyn a hat. In 1983, he said Dylan called one of his Minnesota friends when Percansky had been over. Dylan asked for a call for local artists to draw a cover for an album to be titled “A Wolf in Sheep’s Clothes.” The album later had been released as “Infidels” and included a back cover drawing Dylan drew himself of a man kissing a woman on the cheek. Percansky wrote, “The woman had a striking resemblance to my mother."
