(Original Caption) File poses of Bob Dylan in 1968-1969. Eat the document, an anti documentary remembrance of Bob Dylan’s 1966 concert tour of Europe, has its American television premiere on WNET/THIRTEEN Friday, August 17, 11:30 p.m. Shot by D.A. Pennebaker and Howard Alk, this film conveys the sense of a private diary, a journey with endless train travel, hotel room rehearsals, and late-night post mortems.
Bob Dylan is paying it forward. The inaugural Bob Dylan Center Songwriter Fellowship is offering a 40,000 project stipend, plus presentation opportunities, dedicated time with the Bob Dylan Archive, and recording time at Leon Russell’s historic Church Studio in Tulsa.
Two songwriters will be chosen by a panel that includes John Mellencamp, Patty Griffin, and others.
You can enter now through October 18.
