...free publicity. Not that Moore needs others to do the work he's so accomplished at. He was the star guest on the second episode of Jay Leno's new prime-time show, flacking for Capitalism and singing two verses of Bob Dylan's "The Times They Are a-Changin'." Michael Moore, pop star...
...this, set to Bob Dylan's "The Times They Are A-Changin'," is revealed in an opening-credits salvo that's among the zippiest, most thrilling assemblages in modern movies. The rest of Watchmen--which Zack Snyder, of 300 fame, directed from the wildly admired comic-book serial written by Alan Moore and illustrated by Dave Gibbons--can't match this Mach 2 ride through alternative history.

...trend is even more striking this fall. Choreographer Twyla Tharp, who had a surprise hit four years ago with Movin' Out, her dance interpretation of Billy Joel music, is attempting a similar feat with The Times They Are A-Changin', based on the songs of Bob Dylan. A more problematic show with a murky story line, it is set in a grungy-chic circus that is more distracting than illuminating. But there's no mistaking that it's a musical with a personal vision--not to mention one of the best sound tracks on Broadway...
