    My Review Approximately

    Look, I'm a bigger music snob than any of you. Though I admit it, I can't understand it. Why do I like Dylan but not Springsteen? Why do I like the Beatles but not Neil Diamond? Or Bo Diddley but not Keb Mo? Or Lucinda Williams but not the Dixie Chicks? Or Howlin Wolf but not BB King? Either it's because I have the most exquisite taste ever or what I like is unfathomable and meaningless to everyone except me. I have a hunch it's the second one. I'll go to the movie, but I'll probably hate it. So here is my review: If you like Dylan but hate Springsteen you might hate this movie unless you actually go see it and happen to like it.
