Was Dylan taking the piss out of the Beatles with 4th Time Around? Who feels with their thumbs? Who doesn’t listen to lyrics? Where do we stand on Evil Spotify? Drawer or drawers? Crutch or crotch? Who is right about the Beatles, Kerry or Dan? Was Edie Sedgwick “Blonde on Blonde”? Why does the narrator gallantly offer his last piece of gum?

Who said, in a promotional interview, “all these evil motherfuckers can rot in Hell”? Did Bob manage to integrate his shadow side in Pay In Blood? Why do boxers sometimes blow each other a kiss? Is the band Kiss one of Dylan’s influences? Is Ovid? What was the Lake Sasaginnigak incident? Who do you believe: Adele or Bob? Where is the Southern Zone?

This is a teaser for Bonus EP#14 - Desert Island Dylan (Part II), in which Daniel and Kerry each choose three more Dylan songs to take to a Desert Island. For full access visit pattern.com/bobdylanapproximately and for £5 a month you can become a Bobsessive.

How does Barbra Streisand figure in Kerry’s choice of Mr Tambourine Man (the Budokan version)? Was he cast in her movie because he was “a good actor”? Why did a mysterious love affair cause him to move across the Atlantic? What does Dylan’s taste in drummers have to do with Stanley Kubrick directing a film trailer? Where were you on 9/11?

Why does Born In Time remind Dan of being heartbroken (and mugged) in Paris? What’s the song that non-Dylan-lovers imitate when they take the piss out of his singing? How does I Want You make us feel safe? On which album cover does Bob resemble an uncool orthodontist? Which song did Dan play first when he got his phone returned to him in rehab?

Is “No Time To Think” a poem, a random word dream or a proper song? Which cover version unlocked it for Kerry? Why does it remind Dan of a Toto tune? Do we call it “a beautiful poetic explosion” or “vomit”? Is it the weirdest ode to a mid-life divorce crisis ever written, a cleverly disguised hatchet job on Albert Grossman or all of the above?

Why does Dan repeatedly reference Ernest Hemingway in the introduction to Most of the Time? What musical element in the song’s video hurt Kerry’s brain? What’s the secret of the bass line? Is the song’s bridge “a sign of desperation”? Where does Bowie’s “Let’s Dance” fit in? Did the Picasso exhibition at the Tate Modern remind you of Dylan?

Where do you come from? Where do you go? If it’s information you want, why ask Bob Dylan? Which F Scott Fitzgerald novel turned Dan on to unreliable narrators? Which track from Simon & Garfunkel’s 'Bookends' does Kerry find terribly strange? Is Bob the cool uncle who takes you for a ride on his chopper, singing “summer days, summer nights are gone…”

When Dylan moans that he’s suffering like a fool - is he referring to the Daniel Lanois soundscape for Standing In The Doorway? Was 1997 the fulcrum of Bob Dylan’s career? What’s the connection between Time Out of Mind and Nick Hornby? How dark is the dark land of the sun? What is it about London that has made both our co-hosts nauseous?

How many characters appear in the seven verses of Dylan’s High Water (For Charley Patton)?Can Englishmen pronounce “panties” without raising a larf? Do we finally nail the meaning of “I’m no pig without a wig”? Is sardonic “2001” Bob cooler than snarky “1965” Bob? Who is sexier: 2001 Bob or 1965 Bob? Is “Love and Theft” bleaker than Time Out of Mind?

Is Dylan the Master of Terror? In My Own Version of You, what exactly is a robot commando? Is there no success like failure? Why does yer man call electricity ‘lectricity? What are the numbers between 1 and 2? What did Paul McCartney bring to Jerome? And who is Jerome?What’s the difference between Vincent Price and Stewie Griffin?
