Plenty more of the Nays sound perfectly sincere, though. They may genuinely dislike [Bob] Dylan they may even enjoy or admire him, but just don't think he's all that. Fair enough.

All doctrine is ultimately the death of joy - even when the doctrine is the elevation of the light above the serious, because joy is too varied and elusive ever to confine itself to one or the other.

How heartening it is to know that Ken Loach is still out there making committed, polemical cinema, so long as you don't have to watch it. Never go near a Ken Loach film unless you're trying to sleep with a socialist. If you are, however, Land And Freedom should do the trick.
