We saw the new Dylan movie, A Complete Unknown, this past weekend and it was so good that I can't wait to see it again (and for a post 1965 sequel)!   

Of course, I am his contemporary and it resonated on the growing up together level, it was like Edward R. Morrow's bygone "You Are There" TV series. 

The performances are extraordinary, with at least 2 Academy Award winners: Timothee Chalamet as Dylan and Edward Norton as Pete Seeger.  

Supposedly,
Chalamet and the actress who played Joan Baez, Monica Barbaro, learned to sing and play guitar for their roles. If so, the flick is even more extraordinary!

Another noteworthy performance is by Dan Fogler who played pushy, gross Albert Grossman, Dylan's Manager.  

With the above as prelude, I wonder who the deep down Bob Dylan really is?

Enigma is too simple a word to describe him.  I wonder, day to day, if he even knows himself. He seems so nasty, contrary, withdrawn, stoic and lonesome.  Is he on the spectrum?  Is he for real?

Whatever, he has all the iconic Super Star credentials.  He has done it all!

I ponder what I would say if he was alone and I came upon him (as I once did with Elvis)?

Surely, I would seek to relate to him, to get on his level as my father taught, and inasmuch as Robert Zimmerman pledged Sigma Alpha Mu fraternity in 1959 (at different colleges) the same year I did I could say "Hi Bobby, we are brothers." :)

Who knows?
