@realjohncarvill I'm only about half through. It's ... interesting, I suppose. I'm not sure it's the kind of thing I'll return to as a book and read again. But there are good quotes and passages. I'm also doing the audiobook and very disappointed in the recording of Dylan's voice. It's terrible.
@Thomasmark0@carynrose I hope you already know there are many more, and better reasons to know Patti Smith. And no, Dylan didn’t hire Shepard to document the tour. He was there to work on “Renaldo and Clara.”
Here's a weird, unsigned behind-the-scenes look at Rolling Thunder, taken from the April '76 issue of "Modern Screen." I don't think I've seen this before, but the details are right (Dylan using alias Phil Bender, a bus named Phydeaux, etc). Maybe a compilation of other sources?
@maggeezfarm That’s the story Newsweek printed. It was a lie, and the student later owned up to stealing the song from Bob and “Sing Out.”

Here’s the link to the crowdfunding campaign for ‘Pledging My Time.’ It will run for the next 60 days. Any support much appreciated (and please tell your Dylan-loving friends too!)

@harryhew@bourgwick Scott was also an enthusiastic supporter of NY fanzine "Broken Arrow." The zinesters helped Scott with dates and details for his book. Scott repaid with family stories. Neil used them both to track down tapes for his archive.
