The Review: Levon Helm: Ain't In It For My Health
The Black Racer |
LH: So, what did you think of this film?
Hm: I thought it was a well done documentary.
LH: Did you cry 2 times like I did?
Hm: No I never even came close to crying once.
LH: Did you have a favorite part?
Hm: I guess when he sang Springsteen's Atlantic City.
LH: That's one of the times I cried. Also when they sang The Weight at Woodstock. There was so much history in this guy's life. I was really moved by it.
Hm: (silence)
LH: Say something now.
HM: You didn't ask me anything.
LH: I don't always have to ask stuff. The reviews should be more conversational.
Hm: I was surprised they didn't have more about Dylan's relationship to the band.
LH: Me too. I have a feeling there were some tensions around that relationship.
HM: Probably.
LH: Fist of 5?
HM: I'll give it a 4.
LH: Why just a 4? It was awesome.
HM: It wasn't scintillating, but it was good.
LH: Wouldn't it be great to go to some of those Rambles in his barn? They sounded so awesome.
HM: Yeah.
LH: I'm obviously giving it a 5.
HM: Inflation.
LH: Our history, our artistic soul. Not inflation. Knock it off. If people want to see it, they should.
