Yes, the framed picture of Buffy Sainte-Marie is still on my bedroom wall, and it will be till I'm dead and gone (from here on Planet Earth, I mean). ;-)

I agree that the Youtube episode of Dylan in the parking lot in Hamilton is a gem. It's one of my favorite Bob Dylan videos. Another really neat one is the one where some guy interviews him in a trailer (or a tour bus) , and he's sketching a picture of the guy the whole time. He gives the sketch to the interviewer at the end.

Hamilton is one nasty industrial city allright. Not exactly an inspiring place to be for very long. I went there with Walsh one time to look at guitars, and we pretended to be big music stars (Walsh acted like he was in my band/entourage)...heh! They bought it and fell all over themselves showing us what special stuff they had.

Walsh is incredible at bullshitting people. He can make them believe anything. He once almost bullshitted Ed Mirvish's brother into giving him free front row seats at a Dylan concert as he was supposedly there in an official capacity to photograph Dylan and the band. He came within a whisker of succeeding, but Mirvish saw through it at some point and starting screaming at him on the phone about how he had wasted a couple of valuable minutes of his terribly important life on a nobody! Walsh was desperately trying to smother his laughter and punching buttons frantically to try to record this epic and historic tirade from the esteemed Mr Mirvish, but alas he did not quite succeed in hitting the right buttons before Mirvish hung up on him. ;-) True story.
