After three years and 100 episodes, Bob Dylan's Sirius XM program Theme Time Radio Hour may be leaving the airwaves. "I stopped doing those shows a while ago, and then XM Radio was combined with another one," Dylan tells Rolling Stone. "They want to renew. They'd like more shows. But I'm not so sure." On April 15th, Dylan aired the final episode of the third season with the theme of "goodbye," concluding with Woody Guthrie's "So Long, It's Been Good to Know Yuh." Sirius XM declined to comment about the show.

Song Stories

“Karma Chameleon”

Culture Club | 1983

Boy George has said this song was about standing by what you believe in. However, at the time, he was involved in a secret affair with Culture Club drummer Jon Moss. "Now people can understand the songs better," he said. "They were written about my relationship with Jon, and they were also written about being a gay man in a homophobic world." The lines "If I listen to your lies, would you say/I'm a man without conviction/I'm a man who doesn't know how to sell a contradiction," described his life at the time, he said. "I was selling this big lie."
