TONIGHT: Bob Dylan documentary by Martin Scorcese
Maggie says:No, really. Tonight on PBS at 9:00 is Part 1 of No Direction Home: Bob Dylan, a Martin Scorcese "picture." (I love when directors still use the word "picture.") This should be great stuff for Dylan fans, Scorcese fans, or folks who don't know much about Dylan and have been hoping a for a PBS documentary to get them hooked. Part of the American Masters series. Tonight: 9:00. Tomorrow: 9:00. Be there.

Anybody see this last night? What'd you think? I was enthralled. Can't wait for tonight.
It was interesting, but there was certain parts of the story left out, including how Bob used up and spit out people. I know that Van Ronk alluded to it but Scorsese really needed to interview Ramblin' Jack Elliott, who was Bob's connection to Woody Guthrie, who taught him many of those songs, and who, along with Van Ronk, was Dylan's mentor in his early years in New York. k
