“Bob has been known to play and to create a whole mythology around him,” Sloman said. Joan Baez, left, and Bob Dylan, as seen in "Rolling Thunder Revue: A Bob Dylan Story by Martin Scorsese." By “I never saw Allen schlepping around cases,” Larry “Ratso” Sloman, a journalist who covered the tour for Gianopulos, the current CEO of Paramount Pictures, appears in interviews throughout the film as a pompous suit whose sole aim is to make money. “They had their own mystique and excitement.” Dylan has also said that he was inspired by Italian commedia dell’arte troupes from centuries ago, in which a colorful cast would put on improvised shows while wearing masks and lavish costumes. But appearances can be deceiving, especially when it comes to Dylan has twisted fact and fiction around each other ever since, employing feints and double feints to obscure mundane truths in service of larger ones.
He told his longtime friend Louie Kemp that he wanted to model his new tour after the traveling carnivals they would see in their hometown of Duluth, Minnesota. Summary: Rolling Thunder Revue: A Bob Dylan Story by Martin Scorsese captures the troubled spirit of America in 1975 and the joyous music that Dylan performed during the fall of that year.
Use of this site constitutes acceptance of our “Also, his experience as a clinical psychologist was invaluable in being a go-between for a lot of people on the tour.” In Scorsese’s film, Dylan appears in several mystifying iterations.
His reedy voice was inserted into many scenes, and at one point a doctored photo of him appears, with Sloman lurking in the back of the frame. In more recent talking-head interviews for But those on the tour say that Dylan’s film persona couldn’t be more different from his actual demeanor on the tour. And “This is a very unfactual thing—and totally in keeping with Dylan’s oeuvre,” Rob Stoner, who was the tour’s music director, told TIME about the new film.
“It took me about three segments of going, ‘Who the hell is this guy?’ before I realized what they were doing,” he said.
“That’s a bunch of sensationalist crap that they tried to edit in there,” he said.
He recalled jamming with Dylan and Joni Mitchell at a party at the home of singer-songwriter Gordon Lightfoot—”Allegedly somebody threw a leather jacket into the fireplace,” he recalled—and sitting on the bus next to Mitchell, who joined the tour midway through, while she wrote songs that would end up on her forthcoming album, But Stoner said the atmosphere was much different than portrayed. “He never felt or acted like he was the star of the show,” Kemp said. At the But Van Dorp, like Tanner, is a fictional creation, played by the actor Martin von Haselberg.
“I felt that the burden of stardom had been lifted from him—he didn’t really have a need for that Dylan persona.” Dylan was also reaching a musical peak at the time. Perhaps Scorsese wanted to pay homage to the fluid and fable-filled format of Stoner’s central complaint with the film is that it makes only one mention of Jacques Levy, the theater director who was tasked with crafting each performance.
I can’t imagine that.
“It’s a character they drew in,” he said. “A really friendly, loving guy—he was a lot of fun to be around.” While Kemp told TIME that Ginsberg was the “moral compass” of the tour, Jim Gianopulos—who says he served as a promoter on the tour (more on that below)—revealed in an onscreen interview that Ginsberg’s role was diminished as the tour went on.
(Jack Tanner Sharon Stone also shows up in interviews, saying that she joined the tour as as a 19-year-old—and that her KISS shirt inspired Dylan’s onstage face paint. I think he was more going for a mime look than KISS.”Another one of the central characters is the filmmaker Stefan Van Dorp, who says in the film that he was brought on to record concert footage and B-roll. The notion that one of the most revered American poets would be reduced to a roadie seems absurd, and is unlikely to be true. More than a decade into his career, Dylan himself was a massive rock star at that point and had gone on such a tour the year before, flying on private jets and playing to large arenas.
