By Alice Embree / The Rag Blog / September 8, 2025Cross-posted from Alice Embree’s Substack. The documentary portrait of folk and protest singer Barbara Dane will be shown twice in Austin. The New York Times reported,She recalled Albert Grossman, who would later manage [Bob] Dylan, telling her that he would be interested in her professionally only when she “got her priorities straight.”In that sense, she never did. The 9 Lives of Barbara Dane, explores this life well-lived with archival footing and interviews with friends and admirers that include Jane Fonda and Bonnie Raitt. Filmmakers Maureen Gosling and Chris Simon and legendary music producer Chris Strachwitz were Thorne Dreyer’s guests on Rag Radio, March 15, 2013.
