Rolling Thunder Revue Explained by Dylan and Ginsberg / Live Footage of "Knockin' on Heaven's Door"

This is a video I edited together using footage from "Rolling Thunder Revue: A Bob Dylan Story by Martin Scorsese," a Netflix documentary. If you haven't seen it yet, do yourself a favor and WATCH IT. These clips were taken from the end of the film.

Ginsberg's abstract monologue gave me chills the first time I watched it. It made me sad knowing that this benediction was the close of something so beautiful, a tour that will never be replicated again. But it was also an uplifting reminder about what we can learn from the Rolling Thunder Revue:

“You, who saw it all, or who saw flashes and fragments, take from us some example, try and get yourselves together, clean up your act, find your community, pick up on some kind of redemption of your own consciousness, become mindful of your own friends, your own work, your own proper meditation, your own art, your own beauty, go out and make it for your own Eternity”

-Allen Ginsberg, 1976
