Dylan Speaks
I stumbled upon a 50% off DVD sale at Borders the other day and found this video for only 4 bucks!
As one reviewer on Amazon said about the film:
A hilarious tour-de-force by Dylan of one of his legendary press conferences from the 60s…the only one caught in its entirety on film. The mind boggles at some of the simplistic queries posed, not to mention the contempt in which reporters frequently held Dylan. Of course, he matches them in the contempt level and verbally outspars all comers, while attempting to frequently turn the conversation to a serious discussion of his music — before another stupid question sets off another riff on the absurd. This is for Bob Dylan fans only, but for them it is a huge treat!
AMEN! And for the whole length of the video, I couldn’t quit thinking of my son Luke, the struggling musician in the family, who refuses to be pigeonholed into one music genre, much like Dylan. (and the wonderfully wild hair-do didn’t hurt, either!)
