THIS N THAT, BOBWISE

New issue of the fanzine Isis - no.131, March/April - has a very lovely cover photo of Bob, April 1965 - astonishing, really, that he can have done so much already by then and still look so young (he was 23).

Andrew Muir, author of Razor's Edge: Bob Dylan & the Never Ending Tour and Troubadour, having wound up Judas! (and Homer, the slut, before it), now edits his own section of Isis, and the new issue includes this for the 1st time around.

Everyone who's got hold of the new De Luxe 2-DVD edition of Dont Look Back already is raving about it - and stressing that it has far more to it than the bootleg of outtakes footage that emerged in 2005. Out in the US now, it is due out in Britain in April.

The first time I saw the original film release was in a cinema in North Devon, probably 1971 - when New Morning was the newest album, and the Dylan of 1965 seemed almost as long gone as he does now.
