We didn't get the TV programme in the UK, but a couple of points for posters to mull over:

1. When Dylan was young he led a very uncomplicated life. Get up, eat, play, write, go to bed, that sort of thing. As the years, and wives, kids, houses, etc, have passed, his personal life must have been (still is?) pretty complicated. That takes time and involvement and surely must have impacted his concentration on his work. (Hey, and remember, most of us get to forget about work at 5.30pm).

2. He has written just about every song I started to write!! He may feel the same way. Maybe did about 20 years ago...

My twopenny worth. Oh, and by the way, anybody who isn't too impressed by his poetry should read "Last Thoughts On Woody Guthrie" (IMHO).
