Bob Dylan - Martin Scorsese's new documentary

1. I have purchased most of his stuff but, certainly in recent years, for every song of genius there are five or six tracks of rubbish.
2. He ruthlessly exploited the folk/protest movement for his own ends and when it suited his commercial ambitions he ditched it and even worse mockingly sent it up.
3. He had a friend, called Phil Ochs - who he admitted was better than him. Ochs' looked after him in Greenwich, when he was down and out, but as soon as he became famous he ditched Ochs and did not even attend his funeral. No sincerity and a lot of unreliabilty to everyone he came into contact with.

P. S. Will Scorsese mention Ochs - I think not - we must leave that to Sean Penn.
