His mum was a native from The Six Nations and he spent his summers with his Indian cousins. <br /><br />I've seen both Dylan films. (Seriously, my husband is a big fan. Bob takes up 2 rows on the book shelf, one CD shelf, half row of DVDs and one shelf of albums)<br /><br />I liked "I'm Not There" very much. Such a strange way to do things. But Cate Blanchett was superb!The Clever Puphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07198739825136188378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2696282824996152237.post-73386313246617450482009-08-19T08:34:32.695-04:002009-08-19T08:34:32.695-04:00Robbie Robertson was from Brantford, I believe.
re...Robbie Robertson was from Brantford, I believe.<br />re Dylan: Have you seen the Martin Scorsese's movie "No Direction Home"? Recommended! Also the new flic, "He's Not There". I didn't like it at all the 1st time I watched, now I think, genius!

Every Red Sox home game, all of Fenway Park sings "Sweet Caroline" in the middle of the 8th inning.

He basically bashes The Last Waltz as a huge Robbie Robertson / Martin Scorcese drug-fueled ego trip. I think Levon is great, but the movie is still terrific to watch and listen to.AZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10898816310974580958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2696282824996152237.post-69425892034149579652009-05-08T10:44:00.000-04:002009-05-08T10:44:00.000-04:00Thanks for leaving a comment over yonder!

I have the soundtrack to Burns's The Civil War on cd. That sends shivers up my spine, that piece.<br /><br />I have never seen "The Last Waltz", but after your description I think I'm going to have to. I like Robertson and Young (like you, not a Joni fan - Gawd, I'm Canadian and I just admitted that. Yikes!)<br /><br />I've always thought they were singing, "Take a load off, Grandma". That's not right, is it?<br /><br />Watching Later with Jools Holland (ex of Squeeze) on Treasure HD and Paul Simon (looking more and more like Mel Brooks every day) was on last night.

(They were glad.) Saw when came out...was young but completely hooked in to all the performers even then. Bought all their albums. Burns did think of using the song but don't know why he decided against...maybe too 'familiar'...<br /><br />Neil gets all the time Neil wants & always gets what he wants, so I'm not quite sure the thing about JM. (But I'm defensive on her part...being the only 'girl' (that's how they put it), she had to push to get heard usually. Maybe that's what was happening though it doesn't bug me.) <br /><br />How weird...I was playing The Weight (old homemade tape of album!) last night...<br /><br />fever/pain from tooth...later..<br /><br />xo svsGiuliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06569643363733791671noreply@blogger.com
