ROLLING THUNDER REVUE (2019): New Trailer For Documentary About Bob Dylan By Martin Scorsese…

The spirit of America in 1975 and the joyous music that Bob Dylan performed during the fall of that year is the focus of Rolling Thunder Revue – A Bob Dylan Story by Martin Scorsese.

It is both a documentary and concert film that features, besides Dylan himself,  Allen Ginsberg, Patti Smith and Joan Baez.

You know when you hear of an older artist who’s highly celebrated by so many people, especially by a particular generation and a few young-old heads? Yet you yourself know little to none of that artist’s music. Some of their songs may sound familiar, but you can’t really name any of them because you’ve never been pulled to purposefully listen. That artist for me is Bob Dylan. Michael Hutchence of INXS is another and it just so happens Hutchence also has a documentary trailer released in the same week.

A part of me is quite curious about both artists, but I think they’ll probably remain the kind I’ll need a super fan to convince me to listen to. Then, before you know it, I’m a serious fan!

It could happen. It may not but it could.

Do you happen to be a Dylan and/or Hutchence fan? Am I really missing out?

The Music Of Strangers stars former child prodigy and accomplished Chinese American Cellist, Yo-Yo Ma, plus other international artists. In The Music Of Strangers, they come together and discuss music and culture.

I of course already know what music and art mean to me. With The Music Of Strangers, I’ll hopefully end up with a greater understanding of what music and art mean for culture and other people. Especially those from different places and experiences compared to myself.

JANIS – LITTLE GIRL BLUE (2015): New Trailer For Documentary About Janis Joplin…

Before knowing any of her music, Janis Joplin is a name I’m familiar with for being one of those truly gifted and simultaneously tortured musical artists.

Jop, like Curt Cobain, Jimmy Hendrix and most recently Amy Winehouse, all passed away at just 27.

Janis, Little Girl Blue is directed by Amy Berg and will delve into what it was that made Joplin great, as well as all that eventually resulted in her untimely demise.

Until this trailer, I had no idea that Joplin is partly responsible for the Mercedes Benz song. I guess it might be time to get a little schooled on the First Lady of rock n’ roll.

Happy Film Loving,
