Ep19: 1967 - David Bowie (Eponymous 1.0) vs. John Wesley Harding

Take a trip back in time with Chaz and Jake to rehash the beginnings of Bowie and the middles of Dylan as they navigate the mid-late-60's in the aplombic fashion that only they themselves can muster.  Dream, dear listeners, of a simpler time when rock albums came out every 6 months and you were a failure for daring to take a longer break than thus, when wild frizzy hair grew without a thought on the heads of men both Napoleonic and Goliathic, and when cryptic all-telling images helpfully appeared at the tops of trees on comeback folk rock albums.  And of course, dare to inhale the sweetest vapor of them all, the Rosetta stone that defines both Bowie and Dylan and once and for all reveals the reasons for not only their intertwining existence and their apparent counter-magnetic repulsion, but also the lingua franca of the mysteries of the musical univ...you know what, go ahead, go ahead and do it, stop listening and go dial up "The Laughing Gnome", you know you want to.  You just had to hear for yourselves, didn't you?  We'll wait.  There, are you happy now?  Well, are you?  I bet you're not.  It seemed like a fun idea until about halfway through, right?  And now you're strangely soured on both Bowie AND Dylan somehow.  Great, have fun listening to the rest of this 1967 edition of Bowie vs. Dylan.

And when you're all done, take a spin of our custom 1967 Spotify playlist at bit.ly/BvD-EP19. You GNOME you want to! Hehehehehehehe!!! Oh, dang. Even Bowie wouldn't have used that one.
