No Direction Home

I just finished watching Martin Scorsese's Dylan documentary, No Direction Home. It would suck immensely to be that popular. I don't know how someone can survive being turned inside out like that, but Dylan seems to have done relatively well.

I absolutely love Dylan. His acoustic, electric, his ragged voice and Guthrie twang. It wasn't a honey voice, but it was as sincere as you could hope.

I have a hard time picking favorite songs. I have to say that my favorite Dylan (at the moment) is "It's All Over Now, Baby Blue", "Desolation Row", and "Tangled Up in Blue". The organ in "Like a Rolling Stone" is amazing, too.

Random Guy: Mr. Dylan, I know you dislike labels and probably rightly so, but for those of us who are well over thirty, could you label yourself and perhaps tell us what your role is?

Dylan: Well, uh, I sorta label myself as well under thirty. And my role is to, you know, to just stay here as long as I can.
