Funny to hear Mitchell singing "Mr. Tambourine Man" with James Taylor on the video here for the Amchitka album, given some of the nasty things she's been quoted as saying about Dylan in recent years.

Agree. Mike in real life would be a terrible and frightening person but as a TV character he was extremely likable. A killer with integrity and a no-bullshit gravitas that was gave him an (admittedly incongruous) moral authority in a den of scoundrels. Jesse's struggles are similarly appealing, for different reasons…

Interesting to hear how straight-forward, melodic, and soulful the guitar solo is on "Watermelon In Easter Hay," described here as perhaps Zappa's best. As one not deeply schooled in his catalog, those are not the qualities I would have expected.
