Bob Dylan – Eat the Document (Documentary - 1966)

Eat the Document is a documentary of Bob Dylan's 1966 tour of the United Kingdom with the Hawks. It was shot under Dylan's direction by D. A. Pennebaker, whose groundbreaking documentary Dont Look Back [sic] chronicled Dylan's 1965 British tour. The film was originally commissioned for the ABC television series Stage '66.
Though shooting had completed for the film, Dylan's July 1966 motorcycle accident delayed the editing process. Once well enough to work again, Dylan edited the film himself. ABC rejected the film as incomprehensible for a mainstream audience.
It has never been released on home video and prints are rarely screened in theaters. Some footage from Eat the Document was used in Martin Scorsese's 2005 documentary on Bob Dylan, No Direction Home.

REpost: Capital Radio (The Tommy Vance Show July 16 1977)

Johnny Rotten on Capital Radio
This interview was a turning point in people's perception of John Lydon and his public image. Malcolm McLaren and  Glitterbest hated it. They never wanted him to do it; and were horrified  at his record selections. However, this wasn't just a case of  breaking rank – if it ever even was – it was about music. "Just play the records. They'll speak for themselves. That's my idea of  fun…" The records highlighted John's eclectic musical tastes, and his open-mind. Reggae, folk, soul, avant-garde, and good  old rock'n'roll, it was all there. And not a Stooges or Dolls record in sight.
