And Even More Season 3 Themes

A brief article in the current issue of Rolling Stone (October 16, 2008, Page 16) relates that some of the themes for Season 3 include the already-noted "War," plus "Sugar," "Carnivals," and "Furniture," as well as tomorrow's (and presumably next week's) "Money."  According to writer Brian Braiker, the November 19th "War" episode will be 90 minutes, which would be a first for TTRH.

Braiker provides an abbreviated set-list for tomorrow's "Money: Part 1," as well as Dylan's opening welcome monologue, but why spoil it for my readers? Tomorrow will come soon enough.

Braiker, incidentally, interviewed me for his article a couple of weeks back, but the content of our half-hour phone conversation apparently ended up on the cutting room floor, although he does mention - with no credit - my theory that the roots of TTRH may lead back to Woody Guthrie's Back Where I Come From radio show .

(sigh) Such is the life of the TTRH True Fan - toiling uncredited, unloved, unthanked, and most of all, unpaid in the dusty vineyard of Theme Time Radio Hour research.  I do it for you O Gentle Reader.  Never forget that.
