    Jay Jay welcomes writer, film producer & scholar Jonathan Taplin back on the podcast! We are especially fortunate to have Jonathan be able to join us this week, as he very recently lost his Los Angeles home in the Palisades fire this January. Jonathan shares his experience with the fires & needing to run away from his own home, & gives an update on the recovery efforts surrounding his neighborhood. Jay Jay & Jonathan get into discussing the recent Bob Dylan biopic - & who better to ask about the film than Jonathan, not only because he is a member of the academy and is a legendary film producer - but because he was Dylan's tour manager in the 60's & was there at Newport in 65.' This leads to them discussing Jonathan's book 'The End Of Reality.' One of the reasons “A Complete Unknown” received so many Academy Award nominations was because it it such a strong example of how powerful a counterculture can be. His new book posits that we are just at the beginning of a new counterculture in current day. Be sure to check out Jonathan's new book, which you can learn more about on his website below, & don't miss this timely conversation, only on The Jay Jay French Connection: Beyond the Music! www.jontaplin.com Produced & Edited by Matthew Mallinger
