He is definitely never going to watch it
There’s a movie about me opening soon called A Complete Unknown (what a title!). Timothee Chalamet is starring in the lead role. Timmy’s a brilliant actor so I’m sure he’s going to be completely believable as me. Or a younger me. Or some other me. The film’s taken from Elijah Wald’s Dylan Goes Electric – a book that came out in 2015. It’s a fantastic retelling of events from the early ‘60s that led up to the fiasco at Newport. After you’ve seen the movie read the book.

The Trump-backed bid to make Nebraska a winner-take-all state goes up for a vote as an amendment to LB1300. And the vote FAILS 8-36. Republicans resoundingly reject the proposal that will likely go up for a vote again before this session finally ends.
