Haven't yet. As with "Wicked."

I'm given to understand poetic license is taken, but that's fair.

Poetic License is Bob Dylan's middle name.

My understanding is that the essentials are all there.

Which is to say, Bobby's character, ambition, cruelty and genius.

Gimme 360 degrees.

Wicked wasn't great IMO. I read the book and saw the play but the movie was too long.

Hmm.

Two coworkers have seen multiple theatre productions of same.

Both recommended the movie, which I can only hope was not directed by Christopher Nolan.

I don't have to the dough to see the play, but I would like to look at the movie,

One of my favourites is this simple song.

There's a feature article in the Times about Neko, although I could not bring myself to post it, so precious is NYT.

I love this song, as well as the video.

She's a special artist,

Used to have a weekend package with two seats in the centerfield bleachers at Fenway. Would always park in the garage across the street from the Sherton on Dalton Street, go to Bukowski's , then walk to the game. They used to play great music there. Anyway, one afternoon they had a CD of Dylan covers on. The bartenders changed shifts and one of my favorites came in. She immediately took the CD out, replaced it with Blonde on Blonde and declared, "If we're going to listen Dylan, then let's listen to Dylan!". I won't be going to the movie.

Was there anything in the movie about the supposed Donovan "rivalry"? It was a supposed thing for a couple years in the mid sixties. A couple of my brothers were Dylan disciples, a couple of us thought Donovan was a "Sunshine Superman" . But not so much a thing as the "fan" magazines of the day tried to play up.

Wow that’s awesome. The lyrics are very Neil Young. IE., by the way Neil looks cool with short hair. lol

He did, I must say.

What those two have in common is a drive toward their own muse and purpose.

They don't care what anyone thinks of them.

That's why they are free to be who they are, and the artists they are.

"The world will take these ideas as it may.

"Or not.

"Your charge is to be yourself. Whatever that is.

"Do your best.

"No one can ask more.

"No one should ask less."
