A Bold and Harsh Man
29 February 2016
Documentary covering Bob Dylan's 1965 tour of England, which includes appearances by Joan Baez and Donovan.

I confess I know very little about Bob Dylan. I know his real name is Robert Zimmerman, and I know some of his bigger hits. But this is the first time I ever really saw him interacting with anyone... and it is a very strange sight.

You might presume that this documentary would be trying to show Dylan in a positive light. And in a way, it does, because we get to see his intelligence and talent. But he also comes off as incredible rude and confrontational, as well as a bit of a braggart, saying he can sing better than Caruso. How much is this an act and how much was the young Dylan sort of a jerk?
