Being of a post-Boomer generation he doesn't hold the same place in our formation as say a David Byrne or a David Berman but emBlood On The Tracks/em is still killer. Dylan's life was recently Polaroided in the biopic emI'm Not There/em. It was clever and at the time proved to be a nice pallet cleanser to what was becoming a stale sub-genre. Still, it was wildly uneven. Cate Blanchett as 1960s Dylan was spot on, and the Malkmus performance of "Ballad of a Thin Man" was a great touch. Plus, who doesn't love freaking David Cross as Allen Ginsberg? The bit with Richard Gere as Billy the Kid, however, is useless.

Some of you have taken this as a href="http://jalopnik.com/people/murileemartin/posts/"Murilee/a leaving the site, which isn't there.
