In this episode we wrap up our year-long exploration of Bob Dylan's 1962. This month we are visiting December, when Bob Dylan enters Columbia Recording Studio A for the seventh and what he believed would be the final time before completing his second studio album (this turned out not to be the case), and then he boards a plane on December 16 in order to head to London to perform in Madhouse on Castle Street for the BBC: his first trip abroad. A 60th anniversary is a diamond anniversary, so this week – as we have throughout 2022 – we take a trip on "a highway of diamonds," exploring the events of Bob Dylan's career sixty years ago. In "20 Pounds of Headlines," we bring you news from the world of Bob Dylan, both in December of 1962 and December of 2022. In "Who Did It Better?" we ask you to vote and tell us which version of "Hero Blues" is better: the first or the fourth take? Listen to the episode, then go to our Twitter page @RainTrains to vote!
