I was watching the second half of Martin Scorsese’s “No Direction Home,”
the fine film about Bob Dylan’s career from childhood to 1966, last
night and realized that some things don’t change. There was a segment
of the media asking Dylan some of the most inane and ridiculous
questions. What immediately came to mind was Lt. Gen. Russel Honore’s now-famous phrase, “Don’t get stuck on stupid, reporters!” Dimwitted reporters, it turns out, are not a recent phenomenon.
