Summary

The year is 1965. Bob Dylan, tired of being "the voice of a generation," is on the verge of going electric... but he still has a tour of England to do. In D.A. Pennebaker's iconic documentary DONT LOOK BACK (1967), Dylan spars with journalists who question his prophet status while also trudging through protest songs that no longer mean much to him. We discuss how this film captures Dylan at a turning point. PLUS: Clint Eastwood's Richard Jewell, consuming culture in the Biden era, and reflections on Biden's first 100 days. "Joe Biden Is Not a Radical" by Luke Savage - https://www.jacobinmag.com/2021/05/joe-biden-radical-policy-liberalism-first-100-days

Look out, the saints are coming through, and it's all over now, baby blue.

I'll tell you what I did this morning, my partner and I drove up to North York because we had heard from a friend of hers that there was a pop-up

0:22.9

clinic there, a miracle clinic that was giving away vaccines regardless of postal code.

0:28.7

I knew as soon as you said we drove up to North York, I knew exactly where the story was going.

0:33.8

Why else would we be in North York? Yeah, it's a terrible place.

0:39.2

So you hit the Oregon Trail, and where did it take you? Well, we heard it from a friend of hers who had been there yesterday.

0:44.9

For listeners who are listening further abroad, in Toronto, you can get vaccinated if you're, of course,

0:50.6

above a certain age and also if you live in certain hotspot areas. So you've got to have

0:55.1

the right postal code. We are unfortunately not in a hotspot area. If only we could just get a few

1:00.3

neighbors to get the disease, then maybe we could have a chance of getting vaccinated. But anyway,

1:06.1

apparently they were given this out willy-nilly yesterday at this place in north york not asking for i d and this

1:12.7

friend of ours didn't quite get it in time they ran out but they said well you can come back tomorrow

1:17.6

and i kind of went with the attitude of like well i don't i don't actually believe i'm going to get

1:22.3

vaccinated ever until i see the needle in my arm so we we went there. We stood in line in the morning for

1:28.9

about an hour and then somebody came out and said, well, actually everyone's been misinformed.

1:32.4

There's a spurious rumor going around on the internet that we're giving vaccinations to

1:37.3

everyone, but it's just the problem postal codes. And the funny thing is, I don't actually feel

1:41.8

all that heartbroken about it. You didn't expect to get one, did you?

1:45.3

No, I didn't expect to get one. It seemed too good to be true.

1:47.9

I also thought that I was cheating in some way anyway.

1:50.4

I don't care what damage I cause.
