    I ALWAYS LOVED Dylan, and got to see him a couple of times in the village during the 60's. Although the historical information about Dylan...and tour of the village, the cafes...etc, was quite informative -- I was literally forced to turn off the DVD within the first 20-30 minutes. The female narrator has a "sing-song" speaking voice that is a cross between a whining 4-year-old child and a nail being scraped over a chalkboard...AND -- ends her sentences with the pitch going UP rather than down. My BF, kids, and I couldn't take it any longer. Too bad they had to screw up a great biographical piece with a horrendous narrator. UGH.

    This is not a documentary but an amateur travelogue shot in present time with out any help other than than a nasal tour guide and an esrtwhile Dylan "scholar" endlessly repeating the same stories over and over and walking the present day streets of New York . " Here is where the door to the club used to be", they say, pointing at the blank brick wall of a parking structure. And for this they needed two discs? Viewer, beware!

    This is a friendly stroll down Dylan Lane. It is both travelogue and remembrance of the folk culture era. Being a familiar fan helps to understand the tour. It is a visit to places and like places of the mind it brings a smile, but you wouldn't want to live there. Bob Levinson tosses some informational tidbits from the personal insights of his classroom visitors along the way. It is a music and literary glimpse of the '60's with some annoyances (the street noise; and the shrill, irratating voice of Trina Yannicos). With a voice-over this casual trip would have been a delight.

    Yes   |   No
