Love Minus Zero

[Below, a few days in advance of this sixty-eight birthday, Bob Dylan, born Robert Allen Zimmerman on May 24, 1941, performing his composition Love Minus Zero / No Limit, in an excerpt from the brilliant 1967 D. A. Pennebacker documentary "Dont Look Back." The segment is part of a longer segment of the film that explores the competitiveness between Dylan, and U.K. folksinger Donovan, who at the time held a comparable place in popular music. The film leaves little doubt as to which of the two was bound for glory.]
