One of my favorite novels of all time…

I stumbled upon a 50% off DVD sale at Borders the other day and found this video for only 4 bucks!

As one reviewer on Amazon said about the film:

A hilarious tour-de-force by Dylan of one of his legendary press conferences from the 60s…the only one caught in its entirety on film. The mind boggles at some of the simplistic queries posed, not to mention the contempt in which reporters frequently held Dylan. Of course, he matches them in the contempt level and verbally outspars all comers, while attempting to frequently turn the conversation to a serious discussion of his music — before another stupid question sets off another riff on the absurd. This is for Bob Dylan fans only, but for them it is a huge treat!

AMEN! And for the whole length of the video, I couldn’t quit thinking of my son Luke, the struggling musician in the family, who refuses to be pigeonholed into one music genre, much like Dylan. (and the wonderfully wild hair-do didn’t hurt, either!)

Jon Stewart to Jim Cramer, March 12, 2009 –

“CNBC could be an incredibly powerful tool of illumination for people that believe there are 2 markets. One, that has been sold to us as long term. ‘Put your money in 401Ks, put your money in pensions, and just leave it there, don’t worry about it. It’s all doing fine.’

Then, there’s this other market, this real market that’s occurring in the back room where giant piles of money are going in and out and people are trading them and its transactional and it’s fast, but it’s dangerous. It’s ethically dubious, and it hurts that long term market so what it feels like to us, and I’m speaking purely as a layman, it feels like we are capitalizing your adventure by our pension and our hard earned money and it’s a game that you know…that you know is going on, but you go on television as a financial network and pretend it isn’t happening.”

With a daughter in the area and in the biz, so to speak, maybe she can get a few pointers from these guys:
