EP#16 - Man in the Long Black Diamond Coat

What rhymes with “floor” in Black Diamond Bay? What really annoys Dan about the song? What costs less than dessert at a decent restaurant? Why did Joseph Conrad’s picture appear on the album sleeve? How does a clinical psychologist end up directing Sam Shepard and writing with Bob Dylan? What time was Walter Cronkite’s evening news programme?

Was the man in the long, black coat Bible John or Robert Mitchum? Why does Dylan deliberately play his harmonica out of tune in so many songs? How does one song manage to evoke the Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer and Conrad’s Heart of Darkness? Why did PETA campaign against use of the phrase “beating on a dead horse”?
