I have to agree with everything you said about "Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid", Neil. Kristofferson was horribly miscast in that movie, and Dylan was sort of doing his absurdist or minimalist thing...interesting for a real Dylan fan to watch, nonetheless, though you can't call it "acting". ;-)

Spaw, I don't understand what you mean about JT's "prepaid sendoff". Not in this thread, not in the other thread either. I just don't get it. Please explain what that means, if you would.
