Actually, as Joan points out, singing with Bob was difficult at the best of times. It is interesting in the film that she does an amazing job of singing harmony with him on "With
God On Our Side" -- he is all over the place. That she even found a harmony is amazing. I hardly think she wrecked his songs -- he certainly wrecked hers (listen to the Carnegie Hall concerts) -- they were just going in different directions, could happen to anyone.

On the DVD Joan actually sings the whole of Love Is Just A Four Letter Word, very well. I was interested to hear Dylan say she was an excellent guitarist. I have never thought she was much of a guitarist.   I am with Elmer -- she came across as not only beautiful but funny and mature.

Having now seen the film, I think it increasingly bizarre that the words were bleeped out. Whatever you think, "play it fucking loud" is a historic phrase!!!
