RollingThunderRevue: Even a Bob Dylan fanatic might've missed some of these
But Murphy wasn’t talking as a fan: he was speaking as Rep. Jack Tanner, the character he created with director Robert Altman and cartoonistTanner on Tanner.
It’s not exactly the most widely remembered show in television history—and what “Tanner” was saying didn’t sound all that implausible, making it easy for a viewer to get duped. So why include something like this in a so-called documentary at all? Because being obsessed with Bob Dylan means analyzing and scrutinizing and holding each note up to the light to find new interpretations. In this world a raucous sing-along with the chorus “everybody must get stoned!” couldn’t possiblybe about getting stoned—but any mention of the word “rain” must mean heroin.
