"There's no success like failure..."

Well, whuddayaknow?

Speaking of Dylan lyrics, yes, yes, there was far too much Boomer-worship, too many shots of Kennedy, of protests, etc., but the Dylan documentery seems pretty damn good to me. Nobody can edit concert footage quite like Scorsese, and D.A. Pennebaker's footage from the 1966 European tour is out of this world -- man, Dylan left it all on stage in those shows. And Dylan, with his flat midwestern cadences is certainly disarming and engaging. No, he reveals no secrets and this is clearly an attempt to shape how his history will be recorded, but can you blame him? Besides, the scenes of Odetta performing are worth the price of admission (and who was that freak with the autoharp?).
