Is It Rolling, Bob? Talking Dylan

Tom Sutcliffe

Tom Sutcliffe, journalist and broadcaster, gave his fourteen year-old son a birthday iPod with a quote from Forever Young engraved on it. He swears: “I don’t randomly quote Bob Dylan” and describes Bob’s Bringing It All Back Home as “a cold shower/warm shower of an album”.Concentrating on BIABH, Tom calls Maggie’s Farm “an ordeal” and certain famous lyrics “trite” and “twee”; and admits to an irrational hatred of the tambourine, but praises Gates of Eden as “a great tune”.Tom Sutcliffe studied at Cambridge and joined the BBC soon afterwards. He has presented Radio 4’s weekly <a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b006qh6g/episodes/player" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Saturday Review</a> arts programme since 1999. He was the first arts editor of <a href="https://www.independent.co.uk/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Independent</a> newspaper and has been chairman of <a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b007qxpr" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Round Britain Quiz</a> since 2007.Saturday Review web page <a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b006qh6g/episodes/player" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/arts/saturdayreview.shtml</a> <a href="https://youtu.be/ifVf3SpToKw" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Trailer</a>Twitter <a href="https://twitter.com/tds153" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@tds153</a>Listeners: <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/is-it-rolling-bob-talking-dylan/id1437321669?mt=2" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">please subscribe and/or leave a review and a rating</a>.Twitter <a href="https://twitter.com/isitrollingpod" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@isitrollingpod</a><a href="https://open.spotify.com/playlist/22auwcIYwlXoeOzQQ1smoY?si=f97d9e19685c4063" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Episode playlist on Spotify</a>Recorded 3rd October 2018 Hosted on Acast.
