Has anyone watched the Bob Dylan DVD, No Direction Home? Joan Biaez figured prominently in Dylan's early years. Dylan wrote hauntingly beautiful protest songs, but bailed-out when he had the chance to make a difference. When he spoke to some government committee he was invited to, the best he could come up with was to comment on the government leaders' lack of hair. It is almost as though he was a channel for some great music, but personally was not so deep. There is some opportunity for camera-spotting in the vintage footage: Nikon F, Leica M, Rolleiflex.

Hey Frank,

PBS recently aired that special on Dylan... It took me a second to realize it was the same one you mention (still on my first cup of coffee). Definitely worth watching, but I too was a little deflated by Dylan's apparent sell-out... All that was way before my time and I wasn't previously aware at the backlash he recieved by going 'commercial'... Part of me kinda felt sorry for the guy being hassled so much, but I don't understand how apathetic he seemed at times. Joan Baez had quite a lot of interesting things to say about those days... Seeing shots of the press with their cameras was pretty cool as well...
