TOPIC: A Complete Unknown
#253972
A Complete Unknown 3 Months, 2 Weeks ago  
I absolutely loved it - partly because I lived through that era as a teenager; Bob Dylan was my hero and remains up there with Dickens, Shakespeare and a few others as "greatest ever human beings" but it is SO well done, Timotheeee is brilliant, the music is terrific - not straight imitations but very fine examples (especially the actress playing Baez), beautifully filmed - an absolute triumph and I loved every second.

Clever that it's NOT relentless music but just enough snatches to make anybody who never heard those songs gasp in amazement at how good they are! Sadly I'm NOT mentioned though Dylan inspired me to write Everyone's Gone To The Moon - the very first in the British "protest" wave along with my It's Good News Week (someone's dropped a bomb somewhere... topical or what?).

I was told around that time (early summer 1965) that Dylan loved my song and the fact that such different lyrics were sung in waltz time (3/4). I got fantastic letters from Steven Sondheim and Rod McKuen. And of course the hysteria from one of my idols, Marlene Dietrich who called me a poet and a genius to my face (whilst stroking it).

One of Dylan's bases/abodes is believed to be Malibu - but he's never been mentioned in the LA celebrity list of fire sufferers.

You must be very proud to have had relationships with some of the world's most famous people, in entertainment.

Really looking forward to this as I love Dylan.

Was lucky when a friend working at the nightclub Heaven snuck me in 2 days in a row as Dylan rehearsed there for that mad film he did with Rupert Everett 'Hearts of Fire"

It was like 2 days of a Dylan concert with no audience.
