I believe it's being broadcast to Great Britain (and probably parts of Ireland and the Low Countries, Pays de Calais etc.) on BBC2 this week (check local press for details).

Looks good although apprently entirely uncritical. Bit like his fawning docu of the Band

i can't wait to see the dylan one. and for anyone with bbc4, on september the twenty eighth (i think), they're showing don't look back as part of a mini bob season.

i don't think it matters if it isn't critical, as long as it doesn't allege he was the first person to ever play an electric guitar or invent folk music or anything. some of the live footage looks terrific ...

got a sneek peek at the dvd already.

it's simply amazing, if you are or aren't a dylan fan it's a musical history lesson. well worth it. and how can you go wrong with martin scorcesse behind the lens. he was also responsible for doing the fantastic series on the blues.

for all us yankee doodle dandies, PBS will be airing 'no direction home' on monday september 26th at 8pm, it's over 3 hours long so the remainder will be aire on tuesday. it starts a week of the 1960's. woo-hoo.

I read that as "On the Buses"

ah, that just killed my erection! goddamnit, im in class til 9 both monday and tuesday. vcr... what the fuck? back to the future!

when is it out on dvd?

who puts shows on on a monday and tuesday anyway? fucking nutjobs.


and you know, i was kinda baffled as to why the independant put in that first essential collection in the must own dylan albums along with his classics and bootleg 1-3... but then i remembered that id listened to that same collection on repeat yesterday which was kinda weird. but it is good for easy access to changing of the guards, 4th street, crawl out your window and things have changed. so it is actually essential!
