No Direction Home. Bob Dylan. A film by Martin Scorsese.
« on: March 27, 2007, 03:57:44 AM »
So maybe it's just me and Gerhed who are into this? I was 11 to 15 years old when this was going down and I was on the other side of the world but it seems all so real to me now. Nearly 40 years later. I was moved by this film.

Not sure the youngsters appreciate this stuff--LIKE THEY SHOULD.
Joan Baez wasn't too happy with the guy, if I remember correctly.

I catch Dylan every Wednesday at 10:00 a.m. on XM radio.
He's actually pretty cool and seems very normal.

Right after I bought the (attached) album in 1965, I bought the T-shirt.
20 years later I got the bike-see avatar.

Does anyone know if he actually crashed his motorcycle or was that just a cover to get away from the spotlight for a while?

I must admit, I was a late comer to Dylan....I think it was "Good as I been to you" all accoustic album of standards...incredibly beautiful...after this, I was hooked, and insatiably sucked up everything he ever did..then, finally saw him...it was in this big barn of an arena, where usually the sound is checkered at best....somehow the sound was incredible...I would say that that was easily the second best show I ever saw, next to the Stones...We have a AA ballpark about 2 miles from my house..apparently, Bob really likes it here..two years ago, he played it with Willie Nelson, last year he opened his national tour here...I couldn't go to either...Bob doesn't have a voice...he uses it as an instrument...every time he sings, he interprets the music differently. I have the movie taped...I think I'll watch it tonight.
