They took Smash His Camera off of Amazon Prime already. I didn't even have a chance to watch it 60,000 more times.
On You Tube there is a video of Bob Dylan on 60 Minutes in the early 2000s -- Ed Bradley interviewed him. It was good. I saw it at the time -- it was great to see it again.
He said back in the '60s people used to show up at his house and want to hang out and talk with him about issues. Bradley asks him what they wanted to discuss, specifically -- Dylan says topics like organic farming.
Ed: What do you know about organic farming?
Bob: Nothin'!
There's also a video on there called "Why Bob Dylan Matters" -- college professors and "Dylanologists" discussing Bob's writing: it was held at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio, which is also the home of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
The sound of the words, "case-western-reserve".... When I was a child growing up in that area, I would hear that phrase, "case western reserve" and wonder about it. I think I imagined that it was a dam, or a bridge, or a forest preserve, for a while.
(Hey! -- I'm not the only one -- one of those professors was pronouncing Akron as "ack - rawn" with the second syllable rhyming with lawn....)
In the discussion, someone said that in his writing Dylan was trying to get "yesterday, today, and tomorrow in the same room."
