so I was googling and wikopeadiang and found Roger McGuinn's blog
_http://rogermcguinn.blogspot.com/_ (http://rogermcguinn.blogspot.com/)
pretty cool. got to to love roger. the blog is written by his wife. Anyway,
ran across this little blurb there, happened sometime during the summer.
Wednesday was another trip down memory lane for Roger. Bob Dylan’s “Rolling
Thunder Review” was one of Roger’s all time favorite tours. Jeff Rosen
asked Roger to come to New York and to spend a couple of hours talking on camera
about that incredible “band of gypsies” that would slip secretly into a town
and announce from a radio station, “there is a show in town tonight.”
Isn't this how they did No Direction Home? Talking on Camera about a period
in Boblife. Collecting the interviews and handing them over to a director
like marty to cut and edit? No Direction Home was great, not only great about
Bob but one of the best not just rock documentaries but documentaries ever! At
the time of it's airing, didn't the PBS prez mention they were in talks for
Part Two. Doesn't Dylan have to sort of apologize to Roger for his snippy
remarks about the jangly sound?
Of course, I hope so. And, it seems where Dylan is at, in that, trying to
build upon NDH so there's more attention paid to the post-60s period. The new
york time magazine article about I'm Not There mentioned how Rosen wanted to
do something that collected all this music, as the recent Anthology indicates
as well.
