Joined by co-host George Bauer, Dr. Jim Curtis stopped by to discuss his book "Decoding Dylan: Making Sense Of The Songs That Changed Modern Culture".
Dr. Curtis makes a refreshingly cerebral analysis of Dylan's songs and their effect on society, as well as the influence Dylan has had on popular music from the early sixties to this day.
Along with his other book, "Rock Eras: Interpretations of Music and Society, 1954-1984", Dr. Curtis skillfully describes the unbroken chain of popular music from the days of Bing Crosby to the more modern artists like Dylan and Bruce Springsteen.
