The revue was a cool idea with great performances and I wish he would have continued with it. Lollin throughout though whenever Ronson appears

Still wistfully imagining the picking in the parallel universe revue of Ronno and Reed on say, “Satellite of Love.”

I can totally hear how Dylan singing Satellite of Love would go

Ha, I was just hearing that in my head as well.

He kind of went for something similar during his wandering the wilderness years, right? When he was touring with the Dead and later Tom Petty? Kind of hitching his wagon to someone else's scene, taking the pressure off for a while (fittingly, when he was probably least deserving of attention, too).

pretty tough to imagine Lou fitting in with the Revue, even with Ronson on board ... though maybe a country-fried "Vicious," "Sweet Jane" or "Waiting for the Man" would work.

xp:There are these little pauses in the vocal that fit his phrasing:Satellite’s gone... way up to MARS!

Feel like if Lou was there it would only be fair to invite Nico as well.

Saw it for a second time last night. I'm just not bothered by the fake stuff--I think it's funny that I was so badly fooled. (VG above said it's easy to spot Sharon Stone as fake. I gotta disagree--unless you know about Michael Murphy/Tanner (I did), and you join the dots from him to Stone (I didn't), I don't know why you'd doubt the legitimacy of what she says--it's such a definitive '70s story.
― clemenza, Wednesday, 19 June 2019 16:09 (four years ago) link
The one I still find confusing is Ratso. There's all that footage of him from '76...or is it that that was just some flunky along for the tour, not a Rolling Stone reporter, and the modern-day actor is a different guy?
― clemenza, Wednesday, 19 June 2019 16:11 (four years ago) link
the filmmaker fooled meI think it was the thing of him directing the Shocking Blue video, such a random reference I guess I didn't think they made it up
― Blues Guitar Solo Heatmap (Free Download) (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Wednesday, 19 June 2019 16:12 (four years ago) link
The Shocking Blue detour was totally convincing! I mean, who think to have that as part of a fake resume?

I don't know that the Revue could have handled another shit-talking moody grump

― Consider the coconut (morrisp), Wednesday, 19 June 2019 16:25 (four years ago) link
Yeah, Ratso was there and wrote a book about it.
― Rolling Thunderdome Revue (PBKR), Wednesday, 19 June 2019 16:32 (four years ago) link
Okay, but I read something that included him--along with Van Dorp, Stone, Murphy, and the promoter--as part of the ruse.
― clemenza, Wednesday, 19 June 2019 16:42 (four years ago) link
I read something like that as well. Oh wait, it was posted by you.

Thought maybe Ratso was pretending to be Bob to some Plymouth residents and you were taken in too.

Recently learned that Joan Baez gave him that nickname, I believe.

S. Stone's story was annoying and ridiculous considering it's a fake and why did they bother making it up etc.But if I had not known it was a fake I would have believed it was real (and still annoying !).
The filmmakaer, on the other hand, was so obviously fake to me. And also useless. But I suppose that's the idea !

i am 6 discs into the box set now (Harvard Square show is where i am up to iirc) i am SO over “Hurricane” but conversely, cannot get enough of “Isis”lively version of This Land Is Your Land closing out Harvard Sq was A+ live shows definitely more enjoyable than the rehearsal discs, but i am not a huge fan of rehearsal-listening in general bob & joan singing together is magic, i love it

Something I read prompted me to include Ratso in the fakery, but I must have misread whatever it was.

Ratso’s a real guy who seems like a fictional character. (His book about the tour is worth reading, if you run across a dog-eared copy somewhere.)

Ratso’s more interesting than any of “Marty’s” Hollywood buddies pretending they were on the tour.

late to this, finally finished last night
Impressed that he remembers all those lyrics
― calstars
yep, I thought this as well, I think Joan even mentions "I wouldn't remember all those words" when she & Bob are talking abt "Hattie Carroll"
I loved the Sharon Stone bit cuz it could have been true
Dylan sings with such confrontational intensity on this, like he's really got something to prove, I don't think it was just the coke (which was clearly all over the place just off-screen)
― sleeve, Wednesday, 3 July 2019 17:08 (four years ago) link
I also wondered if "Coyote" was written abt Ratso given the conversation he relates right before that footage
