The Times, They Are A-Changing

Thanks to Jeff Meyerson for this job opportunity alert.

Help Wanted: Bob Dylan Expert - AOL Music News Blog: "We always thought ol' A.J. Weberman was kinda kooky for spending most of his waking hours going through Bob Dylan's trash in hopes of finding lyric scraps (or, at the very least, an unfinished pan of potato kugel). But judging by a new job ad posted on Craigslist, hitting the recycling bins at Zimmy's for a refresher course might not be such a bad idea for Weberman, or any other Dylan fanatic desperate enough to apply.

The folks responsible for staging 'The Times They Are A-Changin' -- the Broadway play that uses some of Dylan's best-known material as a backdrop for Twyla Tharp's underlings to boogie in interpretive-dance fashion -- are seeking a self-proclaimed Dylan authority to field questions in an evening-long game of 'Stump the Dylan Expert,' set for Oct. 26. The producers are willing to cough up $250 for anyone who's devoted an undue number of brain cells to trivia about obscure recording sessions and/or the singer's next religious conversion (which we're betting will involve Zoroastrianism).
