What you get here is an hour of Bob Dylan answering questions. Is it worth ten bucks? Oh, you betcha.I don't think a single Dylan documentary exists that doesn't pull footage from this particular press conference. During this period, he was young, feisty, enigmatic, charming, cocky and brilliant. Not much has changed over the years (save the young part), but this is a period in history where Bob couldn't escape the hounding press and actually seemed to be having a bit of fun with the whole thing. Clearly annoyed of answering the same types of questions over and over again, you get an hour's worth of Bob entertaining himself at the expense of the naive newsreporters (not much has changed in that regard either!). Sarcasm and oddness abound, but legitimate questions are answered with respect. Whatever they gave, he gave back. Gotta love Bob for the whole, you know, human factor thing.
