Dylan Days
Recent public TV program, “American Masters” from nearby Hibbing-Duluth, delivered 2-day documentary focused on Bob Dylan and his times ranging from Duluth birth, to Hibbing upbringing, followed by his place in the wide world—appropriate hometown subject for local PBS North station. Channel surfer missed first 10 minutes of both segments; thus, credits, titles and dates were missed, but Google search uncovered “No Direction Home” directed by Martin Scorsese in 2005. Local KAXE Northern Community Radio then aired more Dylan. Long-term Dylan fan here is challenged to share “Dylan Days” thoughts regarding this influential, enigmatic musical artist, northland native, self-professed “poet,” “song and dance man.”
