Who watched this last night? Very cool. Also, who was that Vincent Price lookalike that played the zither and sang soprano?
No Direction Home on PBS
Nah, it was a brief clip. The guy's voice was almost otherworldly. He was surrounded by a bunch of women.
It would be something snailhook would dig. Want to weigh in on this snailhook?

That's him, pretty damn creepy
I caught most of it. Pretty great stuff there. I'll have to pick it up so I can see the whole thing. And after hearing the music, I may pick up the soundtrack. I stayed away from most of the Bootleg series, but the new one sounded excellent.

Did they use this as one of PBS's pledge-drive things, where they interrupt every few minutes to beg for money?
I taped it last night just in case. That way I can fast-forward through all the crap when I watch it later.

Taped it as well…
I don't think PBS squeezes in their pledge drive commericals anymore. They advertise upcoming shows, etc. at the beginning / end. Their "commercials" are better than the crap on paid TV.
Anyhow, I'd expect promotion to buy this series, if anything.

It was not a pledge drive, unless you consider that drunk Irish dude spouting on "interrupting."
As have I. I'm not Dylan's #1 fan as some others are on here, but this doc has gotten me into him again.
Also, Highway 61 Revisited is an awesome song.

I'll take "Wrote poems on bar napkins to get chicks to sleep with him" for $500 Alex.

Good timing on the Mighty Wind pic, as that movie was on Comedy Central earlier in the evening.
I was mildly amused by the interviews with all the upset/annoyed brits after the footage of the royal albert hall set. I'm sure 30 years later most of those folks are bragging to their grandchildren about being there, yet that evening "Bob Dylan was a bastard in the second set."

It was on BBC2 last night as well, but I wasn't in the mood for it so gave it a miss.
