Just watched Scorcese's documentary on Netflix. It covers Dylan's life up until the motorcycle accident in 1966. Really interesting, especially to compare the uncertain, shy public Dylan of the 60s with the mature version giving the interview. Plus the contrast between the sophistication of his music and his public persona is stark.
It's always good to be reminded of the impact Dylan has had on American music. In context, one can see how he evolved from teen rock wannabe in high school to the songwriter of the 60s and then into the electronic Dylan who was booed at the Newport Folk Festival. He changed, even though people didn't want him to.
Also: "Like a Rolling Stone" in new music on the left.
