Bob Dylan talks about how creativity happens, in this case, the writing of "Stardust" by Hoagy Carmichael. Part of David McDonald's series, "The Mystery of Creativity," about the connections between creativity and spirituality.

Metaphysical collective consciousness etc......God....?

That tells you as much about Dylan and songwriting as any articles or books could ever do. It's all stardust, every note, every word, every bit of it.

Wonderfully insightful comment, SixGun...

and this was how I came to buy the over rated XM radio.. stations of loops for a price. All the same types of music on different channels.. Blues is just junk from payola, like the old days.. with little spots of greats

[noisyneil]

what a weird meandering chromatic melody it is, with very little repetition. there's nothing as challenging as this in today's popular song.

i know just what he ment? fuck sake glad some fucker did!!!

[Pitsku]

One of the insights into why we're all so grateful.

'whence do we come,wither are we going,who are we'?

Louis Armstrong's version of Stardust (heard at the end of Woody Allen's Stardust Memories) is the definitive version in my less than humble opinion.

Nat King Cole made Star Dust for me, but I dig it.

[Shortstacklover]

Wow, theme time radio hour is the best !

[gordondelma]

@panegyricoo Whats an anameusus?

[MrAwibble]

Not many people think that, but you do have a fair point.

[jasminr70]

"i know just what he meant." wow that's amazing. thanks for putting this up

[somercet1]

Yeah, Bob would know... ;-)

[ash786ash]

LOL, he gets better with age.

[grainofsandfan]

Wish he would record "Stardust". It's a great getting together kind of song.

[panegyricoo]

Maybe songwriting is just being an "amaneunsis" to the infinite?

Yes, it is!

[crowsong111]

Dylan mentions the great Bix Beiderbeck!!!

[StragglyBeard]

What a great idea!

[ElGoodo]

I want XM radio for this alone. Sadly I've got Sirius radio but they've merged so they should make this available for Sirius!

[1sixgun1]

Thanks, and thanks for putting this up, I might not have heard it otherwise.
