If there are diverse kinds of knowledge and ways of knowing place, then we need to learn to value the different ways each of us sees a single place that is significant, but differently so, for each perspective.

I saw a DVD of I'm Not There, the 2007 biographical musical film directed by Todd Haynes, that uses different actors to depict the different facets of Dylan's life and public person. Blanchett's command of the mid-60s Dylan role was the highpoint followed by Marcus Carl Franklin characterization of Dylan's Woody Guthrie persona.
What the film did explore was a nostalgia for a pastoral America (without including The Band)--what we now call Americana or alt. country. What it didn't explore was Dylan's reinterpretation of his music over the three decades covered by the film, even though Dylan was the greatest songwriter of his era and there were interpretations of several of Dylan's songs in the film by different artists.
This version of 'She Belongs to Me' by the Grateful Dead wasn't included but its kinda sweet in a low key way. It refers back to The Basement Tapes period. It has more sparkle than a lot of their covers of Dylan, which more often than not were pedestrian.
