"Why yes," he said, "I think it can be very easily done!"

With a rightful nod to the drama unfolding on the Gulf Coast, G&S takes a break to remind its readers that Martin Scorcese's labor of (self-)love, No Direction Home, will air on PBS this Sunday and Monday (UPDATE) MONDAY AND TUESDAY night (9/26 and 9/27) at 9 pm. Some will say it's long-awaited, others will take a curmudgeonly approach (Gentleman Farmer, perhaps) and hem and haw.

Slate has a couple of good pieces on the film itself as well as familiar stumbles in deconstructing the 60's. Say what you will - Dylan is/was amazing. 225 minutes of footage is a lot from a guy (Scorcese) who has spent his career trying to make himself into a legend, about a guy (Dylan) who spent his career trying to stop people from turning him into a legend. (And then showed up in a commercial with a bunch of women in their underwear. Thumbs up.)

Probably worth a look. I'll be on the couch. Go ahead and Tivo "Rome."

UPDATE: Got a little carried away at first. It's Monday and Tuesday night. Tivo the Chiefs-Broncos on MNF. Get a friend to tape Laguna Beach.
