Expecting Rain

It's on Netflix and I just watched it. Does it contain accurate info about Bob and his life?
And on a side note... Who said "Play it f***ing loud" at the concert where that dude screams Judas?

I wouldn't watch it. It's from the director of a film about Paul McCartney being dead.

One of the director's other films, Dreams From My Real Father, preposterously claims that Barack Obama’s mother posed for bondage magazines and that the photos were taken by labor activist Frank Marshall Davis, and that Davis is the real father of Obama.

Reviews of this film, such as this one from YouTube, refer to the director as "incredibly dishonest." http://youtu.be/YVYofNIYPaA

Before last year's election the film was called, "the most dishonest piece of political propaganda this election season."

If what you seek is "accurate info about Bob and his life" I'd suggest that you look elsewhere.

Propaganda all is phony.

What you absolutely need to watch if you're new to Dylan , is Martin Scorsese's " No Direction Home " .

I believe that No Direction Home was responsible for very many new fans of Bob. I loved it and still watch it from time to time.

Seen NDH, and Don't look back, and eat the document. Any others I should see?

I really enjoyed Bob Dylan Never Ending Tour Diaries: Drummer Winston Watson's Incredible Journey. Winston came across as very sincere in my opinion and the 9th NET band was the first Bob band I saw back in '93. I definitely think it's worth checking out. It made me smile.

I loved the film Masked and Anonymous but that wasn't exactly a documentary.

Can't say that I've ever seen a Dylan doc that I thought was really good, except for Dont Look Back which is just a film of Dylan going about everyday life on tour. Obviously the film drew a lot of its power from the fact that it captured a unique moment in time, and in Dylan's youthful career.

No Direction Home has a lot of things that rub me the wrong way, and is really a propaganda-piece for the 'Dylan-goes-electric' myth. The talking-heads in it are particularly dull.

I think, as a general rule, any film/book that is titled "So-and-so REVEALED" is 100% likely to reveal nothing true.

I think the best view of him is from John Bauldie's liner notes
to Bootleg Series 1-3.

There was a small window of time when that's all I knew.

It's pure sh-t, just like most other unofficial documentaries.

Thanks so much for posting this. I somewhat believed the story, but never shared it because I wasn't 100% sure it was the truth.
It's not important whether or not I support Obama, but it is relevant to be factual with the information I pass on to others.

is that one of the dvds by the fellow who runs that awful bob tribute band, i did happen to watch one at some point and not only was it disturbingly bad it got scary at one point. the point where the fellow himself showed up on the screen, my fists balled up by themselves that how scared i got.
take a polish sausage, stick a piece of broccoli on top of it. you got that so far? the fat polish sausage with the broccoli hair? good. then take a piece of piano wire wrap around the center of the broccoli haired polish sausage and PULL with all your might. there youll have a true picture of the author of these so called dvds.

give them up dont buy them.
