No Direction Home

No Direction Home

I took a break and watched the recently released documentary on Bob Dylan tonight, "No Direction Home," done by Martin Scorsese. It's long -- four hours -- but I watched it straight through because it's compelling. I have always been an admirer of Dylan, and I wish I had his genius. How does someone end up being so incredibly talented? I think at least part of it is that Dylan wasn't trying to be popular or to be a star. He didn't really care if people liked his music or not. He just did what he felt like doing, regardless of what other people thought, and he wasn't always well received. I highly recommend this DVD if you're a Dylan fan.
