Dylan, Dylan, everywhere… : encore, again...

Yet another example of Dylan in the ether – this week’s edition of The Sunday Times’ superior Culture mag has a cover feature on Factory Girl, the new Edie Sedgwick biopic, with a discussion of her Dylan link.

It makes the front cover because of the Dylan angle. Surely. Without it, the film would hardly have the same pull – I'd wager that Andy Warhol and his pals have far more limited appeal than Bobby Z. Not that I’ll be watching Factory Girl – at least not until it comes to free-to-air TV.

And thanks to several readers who’ve sent me notes about someone called Simon Cowell's comments on Dylan. I don’t know who he is or what American Idol is, either. And I don’t want to know - life’s far too short to care what show biz and TV celebs think about Dylan (or anything else, for that matter).
