...movie has a few guest artistes: Bono as a Ken Kesey-style drug emancipator, and Eddie Izzard, with Blue Meanies as his backup group, doing a raffish "For the Benefit of Mr. Kite." There's also an excellent "Come Together" performed by Joe Cocker, who, astonishingly, has outlived both crimes against his body and most of his contemporaries. (He and Jerry Lee Lewis are the very improbable Indestructibles of rock 'n roll...
...Haynes does know how to end his film: with a minute-or-two view of the real Dylan at a concert, playing an extended vamp of "Mr. Tambourine Man" on the harmonica, focused on freeing the soul of his song through his craft.

After all, even if people don't remember Travelgate, they probably recall the Lincoln Bedroom theme from the Clinton Administration: a reckless pursuit of political cash that led to shady Talented Mr. Ripley types turning up as major donors. Hsu fits the model: he came out of nowhere just a few years ago and quickly became a Democratic fund-raising hotshot, attaining the status of a "HillRaiser," which is how the top financial "bundlers" for the Democratic front runner are described...
