Don’t know about overrated but definitely over priced.

One way to avoid becoming a footnote is to outlive your critics.

I think I'll pay nothing and not spend four agonizing hours listening to that monstrous lump of turd. I love Dylan but I fucking hate that era, which mercifully lasted only a year or two. (Not really a fan of the evangelical era that followed, but at least it's tolerable in small doses and occasionally even great.)

the 3cd bootlegs 8 used to be insanely expensive, does contain this absolute gem (which for some reason is not on the new complete TooM sessions thing?):

Just How Far In Would You Like To Go: Another Book!

Bob Dylan : Mixing Up The Medicine is a career-spanning magnum opus that is the most comprehensive book yet published on the work of Nobel Prize-winning singersongwriter-poet and cultural icon Bob Dylan. It features over 1,100 images by 90 photographers and filmmakers, many never-before seen or published, as well as 30 original essays by leading artists and writers focusing on unseen treasures from the Bob Dylan Archive. The book’s introduction is by Sean Wilentz with an epilogue by Douglas Brinkley. Nearly all the materials found in the Bob Dylan Archive are unique, previously unavailable, or previously unknown. This book contains some of the best of the archive, with carefully curated Dylan draft lyrics, writings, drawings, photographs, and other ephemera. Bob Dylan : Mixing Up The Medicine covers Dylan’s life, from his childhood in Hibbing, Minnesota, and first recordings made in the 1950s, to his most recent albums and every important career milestone in between.
