Ep32: 1966 - 4 Forgettable Mod Singles vs. Oh I Don’t Know, BLONDE ON BLONDE or the Blonde on Blondeing of 1966
Setting: Newly minted Bowie tries to achieve early Bowie in England, while Bob Dylan is at the height of his Dylan-ness, also in England for part of the year, getting "Judas!!!" yelled at him by wankers.
Bowie answers an advert in the paper, whereby he pays good pounds to climb into a tiny door presented to him by a very young John Cusack. He inexplicably transforms into Bob Dylan's body and mind for 15 minutes, and then is deposited on the side of a freeway in New Castle. Whilst embodying Dylan, Bowie goes to dinner where everyone, including him, looks like the majestically frizzy Dylan of 1966.
Dylan #1: Blonde on Blonde?
Dylan #2: Blonde on Blonde.

Bowie (once deposited on the freeway): It will be mine...Oh yes, it will be mine. In 1972, or thereabouts.
