Yeah.

How much of the appeal is just going to see the songs that you remember or like in a movie theater?

That's certainly the appeal for me, right?

Maybe I was always going to see last year's Bob Dylan movie, but I went.

I was like, oh, thank you for reminding me the most obvious thing in the world, which is that there are many Bob Dylan songs that are amazing, and it's wonderful to hear them loud in a very good movie theater.
