I just finished reading Bob Dylan's excellent autobiography, "Chronicles - Part 1". He goes on at length about his influences, including many country blues artists.
He mentions having recently viewed what is believed to be an authentic 8mm home movie of Robert Johnson shot by a German tourist in Ruleville, Mississippi, in the late 1930s. He says it's only about 8 seconds long, but when slowed down it is unmistakably Johnson. "Has to be -- couldn't be anyone else", he says. (It's on page 287 of the book).
This is the first I've heard of a movie, and I find it hard to believe, but Dylan seems convinced. I couldn't find any mention of this on the web. Anyone know about it?
