As such, it seems a little unfair to simply say that this footage shows just how inept Donovan was compared to Dylan. “You want to hear about the celebrities.” “It’s amazing, isn’t it, how that connects with …” he’ll begin, before haring off to the absolutely least connected thing. But I see the footage as more the tale of a young kid, who, whilst in the presence of his idol, can’t contain the urge to share one of his own songs. “She wasn’t his first girlfriend – he had two or three kids already. “Yet why have we not already destroyed ourselves? So it became like we were the ones who were commercially promoting it.” The pair reunited in 1970 in a touching scene involving a cow.
