That’s got to be an amazing feeling just lamping on the water after being in space, especially since the risk was so significant with those early missions

I’ve heard about the longer version too, would like to see it. I don’t know of the movie ever being seen with the extra time or if it even exists as a whole production though.

He would have said that was Woody Guthrie, at least at one point.

No, he famously doesn't normally use stunt doubles.
Just because he has on occasion used them doesn't change that.
Would you say Tom Cruise famously uses stunt doubles?

Used to see tons of these buggies in the 70s less so in the 80s. Usually converted VWs.

As noted above, Dylan is singing, “Only A Pawn In Their Game,” written June 12, 1963, about the death of Medgar Evers. He recorded the song in August, and it would be released the following January, on his third album, “The Times They Are A-Changin’”.

Attributed to photographer Danny Lyon, this photo was taken after a concert Dylan performed with Pete Seeger and Theo Bikel. According to the SNCC press release, it was the first integrated event in the area.
The song Dylan is playing here was called, “Only A Pawn In Their Game,” about the death of Medgar Evers. It was written in June of 1963, recorded in August and released in January of 1964.
Behind Dylan are activist Mendel “Mendy” Samstein, speaking to Wiilie Blue, who served as field secretary for SNCC. With her back turned and listening is Bernice Reagon, a member of The Freedom Singers, and later member of the group Sweet Honey In The Rock. She has had an extensive career which included work for the Smithsonian and a long tenure as History professor at American University in Washington, DC.
Willie Blue, a Navy Veteran, later became an ordained Reverend. He passed away December 28, 2022, at his home in Hernando, MS., aged 83.

I spent time there in the eighties and found that to be mostly the case but there was a significant change from the sixties. For example, it was no longer unusual for there to be management or foreman positions held by minorities that in the sixties would not have been the case. I haven’t been back to the Delta but my assumption would be it has continued to make progress but not as much as would be preferred!
