As some of you might possibly know, it’s Bob Dylan’s birthday today. What a great excuse, then, to revisit some great Youtube clips of Bob in action…
I’ve tried to mix up some classic live performances with some lesser-seen clips, a couple of interviews, and I couldn’t not include a scene from Peckinpah’s Pat Garrett & Billy The Kid.
