The Kiss | 20150301 | In 2006 Bob Dylan surprised everyone by not only becoming a radio DJ, but being really good at it. Over the next three years he recorded 100 episodes of Time Radio Hour, each of which was on a particular subject, ranging from Weather to Hair and Hello to Goodbye. The remarkable range of songs he chose revealed a great deal about his musical taste. He was a personable and friendly presenter, with a winning sense of humour, and yet he remained as enigmatic as any die-hard fan would hope. A 'lost' episode on the theme of the Kiss has come to light, and we are proud to present it, taking the total number of episodes broadcast on BBC Radio 6 Music to 101. Bob Dylan returns with episode 101 of his radio show, taking on the theme of the kiss. Bob Dylan's eclectic mix of music, guests, interviews and commentary | ||
