Listen "Talkin' World War III Blues"
Episode Synopsis
We live in wild times—and Bob Dylan knew something about that even back in 1963. In this episode of Hitchhiking Highway 61, we explore Dylan’s surreal, funny, and eerily relevant “Talkin’ World War III Blues,” a song that turns Cold War anxiety into a dreamlike satire. What does it mean to live through chaos? What do we do with fear, loneliness, and the sense that the world’s coming apart? From bunkers to Cadillacs, Dylan wanders through the wreckage looking not just for survival—but for connection. If you’ve ever felt like the last person left in a crazy world, this one’s for you.
