AJ Weberman is an American hero: a radical leftist in the 1960s, former defence secretary of the Dylan Liberation Front, he is the inventor of the closely related sciences of Dylanology and Garbology, and author of the Dylan-to-English Dictionary, which he wrote after decades of Dylan study while doing a one-year bid for money laundering in connection with the sale of marijuana. His restless pursuit of the Garbological arts, and of the true meaning behind Dylan's ever-elusive lyrics, led him to fall on the wrong side of the diminutive folk-rocker's fists in the early 1970s. In the 1980s, the police suspected him of using the proceeds of his pot dealing to pay for hits on Nazi war criminals living in the United States. In the 2000s, the Garbologist was Garbologised, when the FBI raided his bins and found evidence of criminal activity, which was when he took advantage of his incarceration and wrote his magnum opus. In this episode, we root through the figurative garbage of AJ Weberman and his nemesis, Mr Robert "Bob Dylan" Zimmerman.
