Bob Dylans work is chock-full of references. Its one of the things that puts him in front of the rest, where hes always been. All the usual suspects are inside, but how many books on Dylan include references to War and Peace, Maigret, Proust, Moby-Dick, Boardwalk Empire, Kafka, Charlie Chaplin, Paradise Lost, Trotsky and Regents Park Zoo? This one does!

Try these for size:

1. The first four words of Bobs response to the Judas heckler in 1966 also formed the title of one of his songs. Which one was it, and from which album did it come?

2. Not counting words that form parts of larger words, can you name the four Beatles singles that can be found in the lyrics of Dylans Tangled Up in Blue?

3. On Maggies Farm, the eponymous Maggies Ma is less than straight about

her age. How old does she claim to be and how old is she in reality?

4. Which innovative guitarist who died in 2024 produced in 1965 a very rare beast, namely an album of Dylans songs minus the words?
