Bob Dylan - Judas or A God

How does it feel
To be on your own
With no direction home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone
?



So lets be honest
I have seen Bob Dylan a couple of times within the last 10 years. Firstly at the Phoenix Festival and also at Glastonbury. It has to be said, that on both occasions as a live performer, he has been a big disappointment.
No clarity on vocals, poor stage presence, and No communication with his audience.
But now having always appreciated his recorded music, and song writing. I sat down to watch all 3½ hours of Martin Scorsese's excellent Documentary;


"No Direction Home"

What an excellent film.
I certainly feel that I'm in tune with him and his persona.
The "RockDoc." including footage from Murray Lerner's film Festival, documenting performances at the 1963, 1964 and 1965 Newport Folk Festivals; previously unreleased
out-takes from D.A. Pennebaker's famed 1967 documentary Don't Look Back; and interviews with Allen Ginsberg, Pete Seeger, Joan Baez, Maria Muldaur and many others, was superb.
I am now a born again Dylan fan. Especially the Woody Guthrie period.
I am now looking forward to October, when both these DVD's become available
on Play.com ( Nice 'n' cheap for us UK buyers)

So now you decide is he a Judas, or a God.
