From Bob Dylan: Mixing Up the Medicine, written and edited by Mark Davidson and Parker Fishel (Callaway) https://shop.bobdylancenter.com/collections/books/products/bob-dylan-mixing-up-the-medicine


This is my slightly revised contribution to Mixing Up the Medicine, the 607-page, oversize, illustrated reconstruction of Bob Dylan’s lifework as illuminated by the singer’s archives acquired by the Bob Dylan Center in Tulsa. In addition to the main text by Mark Davidson and Parker Fishel, other writers, musicians, and artists—Lee Ranaldo, Lucy Sante, Tom Piazza, John Doe, Anne Margaret Daniel, Richard Hell, Joy Harjo, the late Greg Tate, Peter Carey, Ed Ruscha, and many more—were invited to weigh in on an artifact from the collection. I was given a now-62-year-old tape.
