TL;DR

Bob Dylan has launched a Patreon page called Lectures From the Grave at $5/month, posting six entries that include AI-narrated audio essays on Aaron Burr, Frank James, and Wild Bill, a Letters Never Sent piece from Mark Twain to Rudolph Valentino (under the pen name Herbert Foster), a seven-page short story titled Bull Rider credited to Marty Lombard, and an embedded Mahalia Jackson performance; it remains unclear who wrote the pieces, as Dylan’s official site hasn’t referenced the Patreon and Pitchfork has requested comment.
