Which is the most 'Bob Dylan-y' cut?


Never seen the film, I know there are three cuts. The main reason I want to watch it is cause I'm a huge Dylan fan, so does anyone happen to know which cut features him and, most especially, his music the most?

You might have quite a time finding the original theatrical version. But why would someone want to?

Both the 2005 Seydor Cut and the Turner Preview Version feature amount of Dylan on both counts.

I must say, I never know how to feel about his presence in the movie. No doubt his music adds to the experience greatly (though I prefer the instrumental KOHD during the Slip Pickens scene), but as an actor?

Today I find it hard to read the word "beans" without hearing Dylan's voice in my head.

"Beans. Spinach. Plums. Baked beans. Beans. AK Fine Qualiteee To-may-toes."

It's a bit distracting.

I basically love Bob Dylan and will overlook all that. Thanks!
