    Look, I like Bob Dylan

    But I've never understood the whole "mysterious, mythologizing" thing. I don't get it. I love his music, but there's no mystery there for me.

    I do, however, ADORE Todd Haynes and will go see anything he does. Velvet Goldmine is probably my favorite movie EVER--I just find it enthralling from beginning to end.
