The video embedded below, featuring Bonny Doon’s irrepressible Randall Grahm, is just… well, it’s just awesome.
Fans of Grahm’s style of humor and his approach to wine-making will no doubt find much to appreciate in this satirical homage to Dylan. Those of you among our readers who are actually making wine may find some of this cuts so closely and deeply that the humor is bitter-sweet. Knowing Randall, I’d guess that was partly the intention!
From the video comments:
“The reader may know or be able to infer that I live a somewhat convoluted, self-referential life; that is to say, many of my personal points of reference seem to exist in the realm of vinous and the arcane (generally both). Eliot footnoted The Wasteland; why not to footnote a Bob Dylan song parody about some of the more obscure aspects of winemaking chez Doon?.”
You’ve gotta love this guy; or at least, you’ve gotta respect his gumption.
Special thanks to Meg of MakersTable.com for bringing this one to my attention. Enjoy!
Cheers!
Great headline!
You forgot to mention the pony tail and vest, which also rock!
Res ipsa loquitur, ya know?
That's what she said…
the "subterranean" parody never gets old. but, oh, the paper cuts.
The hazards of artistic genius, I suppose…
