I went and saw "Don't Look Back" last night and it blew me away! Bob Dylan is so punk rock it is not even funny. Besides being fucked on amphetamines the whole 65 UK tour he was just such an asshole to every body it was awesome. The best scene in the movie is toward the end where Donovan, who was Britain's answer to Dylan (I mean he's not bad but he's no Dylan), plays a song and Dylan immediately challenges him and plays a song back. Donovan's song is really trite and cheesy (he rhymes sad and bad), and Dylan says "Hey man that's a good song" while holding back laughter, and watch Dylan look like he wants to jump out of his seat and punch Donovan. Then Dylan plays his song and he just whips out the lyrics in the most sneering and sarcastic tone while Donovan has this shit-eating grin on his face. The fact that D. A. Pennebaker was even allowed to film this is amazing. plus Allen Ginsberg shows up randomly a couple of times in the film. It was so awesome, and I am pretty sure I was the youngest person in the theather. Maybe one of the best rock docs ever. enjoy this scene.
