I was appalled by the interview with Dear Leader while the Detroit-Washington NFL game was in progress. Kenny Albert and Jonathan Vilma fawned like Cabinet sycophants, even asking him how the country was doing, which allowed him to offer political talking points/lies. Just shameful . . .

With some trepidation, I finally watched A Complete Unknown, the Bob Dylan biopic. I think Timothee Chalamet does an amazing job of capturing Dylan's voice, both spoken and sung, and the performances, both real and imagined, are compelling. Edward Norton is also excellent as Pete Seeger
