The Gold Digger

  • Singing Bob Dylan on the Red Carpet

    I've got a little bit of a tin ear when it comes to the music world. But at the red carpet at last week's Gotham Awards, I asked some of the honorees to sing their favorite Bob Dylan song, in honor of "I'm Not There" (nominee for best feature), and the good majority of the people said ... No! Thankfully, a few stars at this shindig celebrating independent cinema were independent-minded enough to play along. The result has been into a six-part series—if PBS can do it, so can we-—that will play at the video player (below, at right) this week.

     And the award for best singer goes to ... Kevin Corrigan, from "The Last Winter," who (I'm sorry to say) pulled me into a duet with him. Stay tuned. Or, maybe, don't.
