This episode continues a monthly, ten-part series celebrating the tenth anniversary of TEMPEST, featuring the eighth track on the album, "Tin Angel," necessitating a consideration of the presence of the murder ballad in Dylan's work and his narrative songs in general. In "20 Pounds of Headlines," we round up news from the world of Bob Dylan, which includes Dylan's statement about his use of Autopen, the opening of Retrospectrum in Rome, and some developments that may get the proposed James Mangold Dylan biopic, Going Electric, closer to being greenlit. In "Who Did It Better?" we ask you to vote this week to tell us who did “Blackjack Davey" better: Bob Dylan or The White Stripes?
