Great review Annie!
I saw the documentary this week on PBS. Well I have to say that it was quite an eye opener for me. I have seen some extraordinary footage on there that helped explain some of Bob's music. I have always been in awe of some of his work and often wondered what makes this man tick. After watching this, I have completely given up on any kind of thoery. As you pointed out, this man is definitely from his own world. Even Joan Baez revealed that she had stopped trying to figure him out. I am intrigued by these kinds of artists, like Dylan and Lightfoot. So much talent but yet so much to figure out. Well I can see that I will be buying some Dylan CD's soon. I'm not a collector, but I am definitely more interested after watching this. Or could it be just plain curiousity?
