I saw that when it came on last week, kept me up past my bed time.
That was a real good show. Man he'd get booed darn near every where he went!

I tried to watch the first airing, but sleep deprevation over took me. ;D I intend to tape it tonight. It's not only about a man, but an era in my opinion.
I felt the same when they aired the show about Bob Newhart, used to love those shows (both versions). ;)
I stayed up way past my bedtime to catch it the first time around, too. I sure get grouchy when I have to rely on coffeine to keep me going . . . but that's another story.
I learned a whole lot that I didn't know about the man. Got to give him credit for doing things his own way. Loved his music before and love and appreciate it more now.
I find alot of his songs very moving. :) I have to admit though, when I was growing up we never even heard of him, but I would here a couple of his songs now and again and never knew who it was untill later. I'm glad I taped the show. :) I don't know why my mother and uncle don't remember him, they are around his age. ::)
Here are some of Dylan's best Albums

Check out Love and Theft. More of a blues influence and DanG good.
Bob is Americas modern poet. It was interesting to see that show, and it helped me how or why he got fed up with interviews.
Some older Dylan Releases with accoustic guitar and harmonica.
The Times They are a Changin'
The Free Wheelin Bob Dylan
