so I was googling and wikopeadiang and found Roger McGuinn's blog

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.

I had an idea but I nixed it.

But moving on...

I was watching him on T.V. last night, in this Tom Petty documentary
on Sundance, it was really good, he's very good, Tom Petty, that is,
and I guess the only reason I can in conscience allow myself to think
this, is because of his association through Dylan. (Think of my time
line: at first I thought he was a freak on cable, wilbury (I thought
that was cool, I must have secretly liked him by then), HTH, what's he
doing there, darn, but then he proved himself by being cool in it, and
respecting Dylan's space, but then he scared me at one point later,
after he was accepted, by getting too close, seriously, I was on crack
and pot, a cocoa puff, and this little girl in my head squealed,
"NO!!! You're getting too close to him!!!!!) anyway, then was jolted
awake to the guitar solo in Running Down a Dream that very same
summer, thought it sounded so cool, went out right away to TOWER
FUCKING RECORDS (for a nobody loser person like me, it was a big deal)
and bought my very first presently known and famous person's record
ever, Full Moon Fever.

Ok, where was I, yes, I was using your post, Tim, to make a post of my
own totally unrelated, except through my own free association, that he
was on T.V. last night, anyway, I wanted to make this post about
Petty.

I was very upset.

He did something that upset me.

He pretended like he had never heard of that song Lost Highway, and he
was like, yeah, I heard it for the first time yesterday.

What a crock of ***.

Robert Andrews was right.

Thomas Petty is full of ***, and he knows it.

And so is Dylan.

And so are all famous people.

I'm probably full of ***, too.

I can't tell.

I'm still trying to figure that out.

I think I'm a hypocrite.

Anyway, everybody is probably full of ***, some more than others,
except for anorexics, probably.
