I have to agree with you Doug, they did a pretty good job. Yeah they left a lot out, but they'd have needed another hour at least.

It was nice to hear Van Ronk and especially Happy Traum. I detect quite a bit of "history rewriting". I don't think some of those interviewed were as "laissez-faire" about Bobby's "transgressions" back in the sixties.

Also t'was nice to finally see who Jauques Levy was/is. I was certainly expecting someone a little more exotic.

As to Dylan's nastiness with the press..Can you imagine constantly being asked the assinine questions that he was peppered with? The Beatles "appeared" politer when they dealt with similar questions, but their sarcasm shone through as well.
