LOL
I woke up this morning and watched the Dylan doco before I went for my morning constitutional...
agree wholeheartedly with these comments Ruby:
A messy, muddly, almost organic affair this movie, that leaves you unable to separate fact from fiction but not too perturbed about that either.
in answer: Dylan is a messy muddle himself and yes, no one ever has separated fact from fiction with the dude, he is an enigma, the privacy that surrounds his life,thoughts and emotions has been kept from the world by him himself for over fifty years, the result of which is just so typical of someone with Asperger's Syndrome (which yes, he does suffer and is on the Autistic spectrum)
Those songs of his - nothing like them - he earned that prize - 100%
I agree, no one has ever come close to writing lyrics like he does with the way he sees things, again, the Asperger's at play.
even the lyrics on his two most recent tracks, Murder Most Foul and I Contain Multitudes are superb.
He must be almost perpetually on the road, and has been for decades
his self called Never Ending Tour has been on the road since 1988, some 80 odd shows last year, was due back on the road in March this year in Japan but C-19 put an end to that...makes sense that something of Biblical proportions is the only thing capable of slowing the dude down LOL
=========================================
the live clips were pretty good also, at least he tried to stay in-tune, well as much as he could.
seen him play live three times, first was in the mid-80s when Tom Petty was his support act and Heartbreakers were his backing band, he was pretty bad then, Petty was superb. he has got progressively worse each time ive seen him, haven't been to any gigs since.
