On the Road With Bob Dylan

Summary: Bring back Sam Shepard's "Rolling Thunder Logbook"!
Review: What account of Dylan's 1975 tour would you rather read? Poetic book by Pulitzer Prize winning playwright or opportunistic account by hanger-on Larry "Rupert Pupkin" Sloman? According to Publishers Weekly review of his shamefully over publicized book "On the Road with Bob Dylan" this slob was kicked out right away by Dylan's manager and had to trudge along in cheap hotels- it seems like everyone wanted him to go away. Joan Baez even called him Ratso but like a ... stain he couldn't be washed off. Ratso claims to this day to be close to Dylan but in a recent USA Today 'net chat he says he last saw Dylan while helping on the "Jokerman" video. NINETEEN YEARS AGO!! Ratso's book, like Shepard's was written in the late 70's. So what is going on? Please demand that Shepard's book be back in print so we don't hve to pay $... for a used copy - and let Ratso be put in the dustbinds of time.

Summary: The best Bob Dylan book
Review: Wow! I got this when it first came out in 1978 and I still have my well worn copy. Its a wonderful look at Dylan during the
Rolling Thunder review. "Ratso" as he came to be known, has
written a very funny, very readable, very entertaining book. The "interview" with Dylan at the end is worth the price alone. If you are a Dylan fan, you should love this book!
