I have to go along with the folks who mention how closely the man was scrutinized for many years. Remember how people hung on every thing he said, sang, or did, and THEN went on to take that song, statement, or act as prophecy, cutting edge art, or critique of politics and society? Every damn thing! I recall that when I saw that movie "Don't Look Back," how every moment, he had someone with him--sucking up, or wanting something from him, or bathing in reflected glow, or, like Pennebaker the filmmaker, just watching. I surprised he didn't become as weird as Michael Jackson or Brian Wilson. doug
