Radio Zimmy

Bob Dylan's Theme Time Radio Hour is back on the wireless in the States (it'll be back on th BBC soon - it will never, ever be on RTE) It's very heavily scripted but I really enjoyed the first series, a lot of great music ,a good 50% of which I hadn't heard before, which is saying something at this point. This is the way radio is supposed to be, turning you onto stuff you missed, one person's record collection out on display for the rest of us. Don't get me started about the state of radio (and television) in this country because it will be very hard to shut me up. We're at the dawn of Irish digital radio, will RTE drop the ball? Does the Pope have a Sunday gig?

Tune into Series 2. If you dig this then you should really check out Little Steven's Underground Garage. Another bloke who knows his onions.



Addendum: News just reaches us that Bob has done a car advert for the sponsors of his show to the shock of a lot of his fans. So what? the show stays on the air and Bob gets a few quid and possibly a new car, it's called show BUSINESS folks.
