[Marxism] Dylan documentary

["Ben Halligan" <B.Halligan@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Series Of Clichés
Turns out that the Bob Dylan story, at least as chronicled by Martin Scorsese, 
isn't nearly as weird as you might have thought.

extract:

These are lines from one of Dylan's greatest songs, "Series of Dreams": "In 
one, the surface was frozen / In another, I witnessed a crime / In one, I was 
running, and in another / All I seemed to be doing was climb." No Direction 
Home reflects in its frozen surface the most familiar, the most obvious of 
those dreams: Dylan running through the 1960s, and Dylan climbing the ladder to 
American idoldom. I kept wondering about the one where he witnessed a crime. A 
great, gutsy director with live nerves and bristling imagination would have 
taken this material and used it to meditate on the crime Dylan witnessed, who 
he thought committed it, and what he did about it.
