quotes from a few articles read today

...

That stare mid-1960s Dylan fixes you with: it's a challenge to every
assumption about boundaries... if, as announced, an actress plays mid-1960s
Bob, then as Dylanologist Andrew Muir once said, they'll never find anyone
beautiful enough.
(Michael Gray)

There is in the heart of this documentary a sublime, mute sequence which
could be the secret key for it all... made in 1965 by Andy Warhol, in the
Factory, at the time of a screen test. Dylan sits. The camera approaches.
It fixes on the face of archangel, divided between shade and light. He
raises towards us an absent glance. The mystery of Dylan, I suppose?
(Bernard Loupias)

So arrogant, so sneaky, and so utterly beautiful to look at as a young man
- all soft brow, high cheekbones and bushy ringlets (Grant Smithies)

Good quotes, would have to agree with the authors, I love those pics from
the '60's.

You know on that "I Shot Warhol" movie they played a cover of
"I'll keep it with Mine" over the closing credits. Glad I
stayed for the ending.

The whole WARHOL thing was kind of interesting, anything which culminates
in the version of "She's Your Lover Now" on Bootleg 1-3 has to be
investigated fully.

Look into his eyes now in 2005. You'll see everything there was on
that Warhol screen test and a lifetime's experience, too.

The male "artistic" aim being, not to communicate (having nothing inside
him, he has nothing to say), but to disguise his animalism, he resorts to
symbolism and obscurity ("deep" stuff). The vast majority of people,
particularly the "educated" ones, lacking faith in their own judgment,
humble, respectful of authority ("Daddy knows best" is translated into adult
language as "Critic knows best"), are easily conned into believing that
obscurity, evasiveness, incomprehensibility, indirectness, ambiguity and
boredom are marks of depth and brilliance.

So what you're saying in a rather pompous and long-winded way is that
Dylan has no depth?

I did. We were watching NDH last night. I saw humility.
I saw a man that I believe was not full of himself. He is one of his kind
and he is wonderful.
