Bob Dylan Concert Film To Premiere At New York Film Festival -





A new Bob Dylan concert film titled "Trouble No More" will premiere at the 2017 New York Film Festival. Directed by Jennifer Lebeau (previously known for her work with Paul Simon, Tony Bennett and Barbra Streisand), the film is based around caches of rare concert footage from Dylan's "born-again" era.

The film will showcase two performances by Dylan in Toronto and Buffalo from the final leg of his 1979-80 tour. Throughout the project, actor Michael Shannon will also deliver speeches written by writer/critic Luc Sente. The film is set to premiere October 2nd at the NYFF, and tickets for the debut go on sale from September 10th.



The film's timing coincides with the upcoming release of Trouble In Mind: Bob Dylan's Gospel Years — What Really Happened by Clinton Heylin, a book examining this controversial period in the musician's career. It is due out November 14th.



Though details surrounding the project remain scarce, a 13th installment of Dylan's Bootleg Series, which will include songs, outtakes and live recordings from this period are rumored to also be released later this year.



The new releases cap what is a very busy year in the world of Dylan — back in March, he released his 35th studio album, Triplicate. In a similar vein to his previous two records, the LP features more covers of classic American songs. He also finally accepted the Nobel Prize he was awarded months earlier, giving the necessary Nobel Lecture before a tour date in Stockholm back in June.



Dylan, who has aften to be assumed to be on an apparently never-ending tour, only has two more dates scheduled for this year. On October 13th, he will appear at Harrah's Resort SoCal in Valley Center, California, and, on October 14th, the artist will play at The Chelsea Theatre at The Cosmopolitan Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Gilbert Baker, Rainbow Flag Creator, Dead at 65

Image
Gilbert Baker, an artist and activist credited with creating the LGBT community's iconic rainbow flag, died Thursday night in his sleep at his home in New York City. He was 65. Baker, who taught himself how to sew after leaving the Army, had the idea to create the first rainbow flag as a symbol to unite San Francisco's LGBT community; other rejected symbols included a pink triangle and the Greek letter Lambda, San Francisco Gate reports. "I decided that we should have a flag, that a flag fit us as a symbol, that we are a people, a tribe if you will," Baker said at the Museum of Modern Art in 2015. "And flags are about proclaiming power, so it's very appropriate." The flag made its debut at the 1978 Gay Freedom Day Parade as an eight-colored banner, with each color representing a certain meaning: sexuality (pink), life (red), healing (Orange), sunlight (yellow), nature (green), art (turquoise), harmony (indigo) and the human spirit (violet). The fla...

Image
The Allman Brothers Band will release an eight-disc set comprising songs from their sold-out, three-night run at Atlanta's Fox Theatre in September 2004. At the time they were touring on what would turn out to be their final studio album, Hittin' the Note . The Fox Box will feature a remastered audio mix and tighter song spacing than the versions that were released at the time and were made available during subsequent shows and through their internet mail order program. "Dreams" is the only song that is repeated from the 53 tracks in the box set. It appears three times, however a different guitar soloist – Derek Trucks, Warren Haynes, Jack Pearson – is featured in each instance. The 2004 lineup included founding members Gregg Allman and drummers Butch Trucks and Jaimoe, along with percussionist Marc Quinones, guitarists Warren Haynes and Derek Trucks and bassist Oteil Burbridge.

NBA Playoffs: Draymond’s elite defense in Warriors' Game 1 shows his all-time caliber

Image
The elite players throughout NBA history are legends because they were able to do things no one else could do. Magic Johnson's vision at his size. Michael Jordan's incomparable will and shot-making. Stephen Curry's ability to shoot off the dribble at percentages never before believed possible. Dennis Rodman's uncanny ability to always find the ball. Shaquille O'Neal's physical dominance.  To be among the best to ever do something in the NBA, it has to be built upon something that sets you apart, not just a precision, but a specific combination of style and play that defines you as an all-time great.  Draymond Green is in the process of making his case as one of the all-time best defenders in NBA history.  "He played a game that I'm not sure anybody else in the league is capable of, honestly. Who else can do what Draymond just did tonight?"  Steve Kerr after Draymond  It's supremely easy to call that an overreaction or a hot take in the ...
