2 1982 At A Glance

3 The 1982 Calendar

15 March	Dylan is inducted into the Songwriters Hall Of Fame and is interviewed by Jane Hansen. A short snippet is broadcast by NBC-TV, 15 March and by ABC-TV’s “Good Morning America" on 16 March.
Spring	Dylan is alleged to have recorded with Al Kooper, Mick Taylor and Jack Bruce.
5 June	Recording session with Clydie King at Rundown Studios. Four different songs are recorded, but they remain unreleased. A couple of years later Dylan tells Mikal Gilmore in an interview that "I've also got a record with just me and Clydie King singing together and it's great, but it doesn't fall into any category that the record company knows how to deal with".
6 June	Dylan and Joan Baez perform at the anti-nuclear movement event Peace Sunday Rally.
