Latest / Six Degrees of Dylan - Audio Episodes
This Must Be the Place (Naive Melody)
Talking Heads’ “This Must Be the Place” opens a journey through belonging, city nights and the possibility of breaking free. Colin Macgadie follows the CBGB scene into Television, Tom Verlaine’s collaboration with Patti Smith, and Smith’s later interpretation of Dylan. The Byrds’ “Chimes of Freedom” carries the route towards Bob Dylan’s original “Like a Rolling Stone”. Documented scene, authorship and personnel links support an editorial conversation about what a popular song can hold.
