In this episode of Hitchhiking Highway 61, we dive into Bob Dylan's Dream, one of Dylan's most nostalgic songs. It's a heartfelt look back at old friends, simpler times, and the bittersweet ache of growing up.
Host Kevin Fallon uses the song to reflect on youthful memories-from skating through a high school at night to playing impromptu metal shows and launching cars off abandoned roads.
He also compares Dylan's melancholy with the optimism of Willy Nelson's On the Road Again and explores what these two roads say about how we face the passage of time.
All that and a little Pantera.
