No Direction Home

I watched most of Martin Scorsese's documentary about Bob Dylan. I saw more than half of it Monday night and watched all of Tuesday night. I never realized Bob Dylan wrote so many songs and had a thing with Joan Baez. The clips of his interviews with the press were great. I've developed a new appreciation for him and his music even though he is a little bizarre. I can remember buying the 45 "Watching The River Flow." I also had an album of his greatest hits. An American music icon.

Synopsis

Renowned director Martin Scorsese's documentary chronicles the career of the singer and songwriter during the tumultuous years between 1961 and 1966. Bob Dylan allowed Scorsese to have access to hours of footage that had never before been made public, including a number of live performances, and footage of Dylan in the recording studio creating some of his landmark albums from the period. Dylan sits for an extensive interview, as does a variety of people who worked with him during this time period, including Joan Baez and fellow songwriter Pete Seeger. The film debuted on PBS stations around the country on September 26, 2005.
