Talkin' Bob Dylan's film career and much more with Dylanologist Harry Hew (Boston Harold Video Podcast)

On today's Boston Harold (Video) Podcast, I welcome one of my favorite Dylanologists, a Canadian who goes by the name of  “Harry Hew.”

I first became aware of Mr. Hew on Twitter last year, as I was getting geared up for the World of Bob Dylan Symposium in Tulsa in May and June of last year. As you’ll hear on today’s Boston Harold Video Podcast, we met at the airport in Tulsa, and soon a friendship was born. 

Mr. Hew is a passionate Dylan detective, very meticulous as well as humorous and self deprecating. He mostly researches areas untouched by other Dylan scholars, such as the unjustly ignored 1987 film, Hearts of Fire. Among the other artists Mr. Hew studies are Leonard Cohen, Joni Mitchell, and the Grateful Dead, all discussed here. 

In this episode, we cover Hearts of Fire (and his personal tour of film sites near his hometown), Renaldo and Clara vs Martin Scorsese’s Rolling Thunder film, Rough & Rowdy Ways and other albums, the 1978 tour, the Dylan Symposium, and so much more. 

Enjoy!
