Episode Notes

Celebrating Bob Dylan’s 84th Birthday and our guest 
Let’s kick off Summer. #whaddayasay?
It’s our 2025 Bob Fest. 
I think many of us  take Bob Dylan for granted. No matter what generation, he’s been a part of our lives.
Remarkably, he’s not slowing down. For example, Sunday night Bob is  headlining with Willie Nelson at The Gorge. In a vineyard overlooking The Colorado River. The stage is in Washington. The other side of The Gorge is Oregon.
It’s the 2025 edition of Farm Aid. This time, the farmers grow grapes.
He gets around, does Bob.
We’ll play some of his greatest songs. Some by Bob and some by artists influenced by Bob.
Name your favourite artist or song. Somewhere along the way, Bob Dylan influenced the song or the songwriter.
So…do not take the man for granted.  We are the very lucky humans who lived as he made his music.
The guest on Saturday’s Stew is Joel Plaskett. 
We met over coffee on the streets of Victoria to talk about Songs from The Gang – A Celebration of Joel Plaskett.  A #1 LP on the CKUA Top 30.
His music friends recorded covers of his songs and kept it a secret for a year.
Anyone who knows the music business will admit that is a minor miracle.
Joel’s Gang included Sloan, Alan Doyle, The Sheepdogs, Matt Andersen,  Jenn Grant, etc.
Joel’s stories just spilled out – one after the other.
The complete interview can be heard on the Mulligan Stew Podcast and the video version on the tdm YouTube Channel.
 
NEXT WEEK – The guest is Dan Mangan. New album Natural Light. One of the albums of the Year.
In two weeks, Colin Bluntstone of The Zombies
