In which "Don't Look Back" scene is Dylan being the biggest dick?

Ha, ILM rises as one to defend unfairly maligned global megastar

Revive!
Just got the new Criterion Blu-Ray and watched all the extras and outtakes last night. Not sure how much of them were included in the previous Blu-Ray edition (which I didn’t own), but they’re really great. Especially love the conversation/debate about gospel music and the blues between producer Tom Wilson, Albert Grossman and Alan Price, from the “Snapshots from the Tour” chapter.

I never felt bad for the reporter, comes with the territory.

not sure i've ever read the actual article that came out of that time magazine interview -- anyone have it?

When that interview took place, there was virtually no "rock journalism" as such. (I think Crawdaddy was launched the following year.) It was obvious the Time reporter (Horace Freeland Judson) was a general beat kind of guy, and was very unfamiliar with Dylan's work. I was surprised to learn he was only 34 at the time of the interview. Apparently he thought the whole thing was contrived for the sake of the film, and after seeing Dylan perform that night he came to the conclusion that the "music was unpleasant, the lyrics inflated, and Dylan, a self-indulgent whining show off"

he was a pretty well respected science journalist, right? lol crazy that he's only 34 there. in my head he's like 75.

I think that may have come later on. At the time, he was Time's European correspondent in London and Paris. Reading the original article from 1965 would be interesting, but I can't find it anywhere.

One of the funniest moments in the film is when Dylan points out a newspaper article on Donovan that he had tacked to his wall. Alan Price scans the headline: “‘Is Donovan deserting his fans?’ He’s only been around for three months.” It's just Price's deadpan delivery that makes it so hilarious, and it made Joan Baez crack up.

Read folks saying on Facebook that in the Criterion version you now more clearly see Donovan asking Dylan to play "It's All Over Now Baby Blue"

you watch the movie closely you'll see that Donovan ASKS Dylan to play Baby Blue. It's only in the editing that Dylan is made to look like a dick. They were swapping songs, as folkies do.

yeah, some talk of that over on another dylan thread Bob Dylan: The Bootleg Series
think maybe you just hear it better -- it's always been in there.

Oddly, I was looking for Alan Price singing 'Little Things' in Don't Look Back and this thread came up on google. Does anyone have that clip?

man that time magazine clip doesn't get old does it

"of a uh uh let's say a tramp vomiting man into the sewer"

"which they don't do"

"no i couldn't even be willing to try"

"how can i answer that if you've got the nerve to ask me?"
