lepolv86 listening to Dylan last night brought back all kinds of feelings. When he started changing to electric guitars I liked it - most of my friends didn't. Some of the footage was amazing...I'd forgotten how people booed him - he seemed to transcend all that....he he was playing with Mike Bloomfield, Al Kooper, Robbie Robertson...and they were booing him. I enjoyed the journey he was on. I also thought the interview dialogue added a rich context to the film. Joan Baez was interesting too - she provided a different vantage point. Every time I listened to his songs, I'd always think "how did he get inside my head and sing about what was going on?" It was a great night even if the Sox split with Toronto. Altair19

Alberto, Lay down your weary tune Wow. That is an excellent group of words. I set el Tivo to record that one too. I got up very early this morning (unitentionally) so I watched the Motorcycle Diaries. I think that was the first movie with subtitles that I ever watched that didn't feel like there were subtitles. It was well done and made me think. But then I lost that train of thought and jumped onto something new when I read how Ernesto (Che Guevara) helped organize the Cuban Revolution and eventually was murdered by the CIA trying to organize a communist take over in Bolivia. (Remember that I am the naive youngster on this thread.) I can understand how he wanted to help the oppressed poor indigenous people of those countries. And rid the imperialists. However, look how Cuba ended up? Are their oppressed and poor people better off? If it failed miserably in the USSR then where is it succeeding? Is it working in North Korea? Vietnam? etc? Is it working in China? I can't figure that one out. They have adapted capitalism. But their people still are not free. How was Che actually helping the people? I imagine I'm missing something here. I mean there was goodness in his heart and the desire to help the people. Were they helped? Is there a better system of gov't than ours? Why were they not fighting for democracy? -Clappito
