What movie did Bob sing Dixie in?
ReplyDeleteThanks fir the question, Mary. Bob Dylan sang Dixie in Masked and Anonymous. According to Wikipedia, in the film "An iconic rock legend, Jack Fate (Bob Dylan), is bailed out of prison to perform a one-man benefit concert for a decaying future North American society. The film touches on many subjects from the futility of politics, the confusion of loosely strung government conspiracies, and the chaos created by both anarchy and Nineteen Eighty-Four-styled totalitarianism. It further reflects on life, dreams, and God's place in a seemingly increasingly chaotic world."
