Netflix has announced that Martin Scorsese will direct a documentary about Bob Dylans Rolling Thunder Revue tour. Rolling Thunder Revue: A Bob Dylan Story will feature new on-camera interviews with the legendary songwriter.
The streaming platform says the film captures the troubled spirit of America in 1975 and the joyous music that Dylan performed during the fall of that year. It is due later this year.
Variety reports that the film will be less straightforward than Scorseses 2005 Dylan documentary, No Direction Home, which focused on the songwriters rise to fame, his move to New York and temporary retirement following a motorcycle accident in July 1966. Scorsese provides the master vision, wrote critic Roger Ebert on that films release, and his factual footage unfolds with the narrative power of fiction.
The Rolling Thunder Revue was a freewheeling multi-artist caravan that began in October 1975 and concluded in May 1976. Artists including Joni Mitchell, Joan Baez, Mick Ronson, Bette Midler, Roger McGuinn, Emmylou Harris and Allen Ginsberg joined Dylan on the autumn leg of the tour, which is said to be the focus of Scorseses film. Dylans mother also appeared. Dylan frequently performed in white face paint.

Dylans mother also appeared. Dylan frequently performed in white face paint.
It is one of the most noteworthy tours in rock history: The Rolling Thunder Revue shows remain some of the finest music Dylan ever made with a live band, wrote critic Clinton Heylin in his 1991 Dylan biography Behind the Shades. In 2002, an official recording of the tour was released in Dylans Bootleg Series.
Dylan engaged Sam Shepard as a screenwriter for a film about the tour, although the result was largely improvised. Released in 1978, Renaldo and Clara featured live footage, interviews and dramatised fictional portions about Dylans life. He was billed as Renaldo and his first wife, Sara Dylan, as Clara. It clocked in at almost four hours and was panned by critics.
Scorseses film is not the only Dylan feature in the works. Call Me By Your Name director Luca Guadagnino has said he is directing a film based on Dylans 1975 album Blood on the Tracks, to be written by The Fisher King and The Bridges of Madison County screenwriter Richard LaGravenese.
Dylan will perform a rare UK concert this summer, sharing the bill with Neil Young at Londons Hyde Park on 12 July. Scorseses next slated feature film is another Netflix production, The Irishman, about the mafia-union wars of the 70s.
'Cohen has tapes': John Dean explains Trump won't be able to dodge revelations from fixer's testimon
Cohen has tapes: John Dean explains why Trump wont be able to dodge revelations from fixers upcoming testimony

President Nixons former White House counsel explained to CNN Thursday why Donald Trump may be worried about his former fixer Michael Cohens testimony before Congress next month.
Michael Cohen has deep knowledge and wide knowledge of President Trump and what happened during the campaign and so were finally putting a face on somebody who can talk with authority about these events, John Dean said after news broke about the attorneys February Congressional testimony.
Host Brianna Keilar noted that when Dean testified before Congress about Nixon, some dismissed what he had to say as outrageous and the former White House counsel agreed.
I was attacked not only by Nixons supporters and surrogates, I was attacked by Nixon in a number of his national addresses, Dean said. The tapes certainly resolved who was telling the truth and Im not quite sure how it all would have turned out had there not been tapes.
He then added: I understand Michael Cohen has tapes as well.
Im sure Trump doesnt know which ones he does or does not have since it was Cohen doing the taping, Dean said, adding, I dont know how many tapes there are, but certainly theres no motive for Cohen to lie at this time about his work with Trump.
Stormy book..this passage kind of startled me..had not heard this before..
I got Stormy book late as I ordered it from London. Page 144:
So, I was sitting in this beautiful bungalow and I was watching this crazy documentary filmed with real sharks tearing at bodies. And to say the guy was riveted is an understatement. Then, to make it crazier, Hillary Clinton called. I could hear her voice through the receiver, and that accent saying "Donald".
"Hello Hillary" he said, briefly distracted from the sharks. He kept the movie going but started pacing around the room. She was up against Barack Obama seeking the Dem nomination and he had a whole conversation about the race, repeatedly mentioning "our plan". They also discussed a family trip they wanted to take together, something involving a ski area. Who knows if Hillary was just humoring him.
When he hung up, he was effusive about Hillary. "I love her", he said. "She is so smart." This would be the 4th time he had donated money to her political career.
THIS KIND OF STARTLED ME...

The conspiracy heats up. Just when the desperate liar tries to bullshit US with his non existent border crisis, we learn that his campaign chairman was sharing valuable polling data with Russian intelligence. An illegitimate POTUS pushes an illegitimate crisis. #TrumpResign
