I cannot imagine anyone trying to sing like Joan Baez! Impossible. 😂 I read a comment on Facebook saying the actress was already a singer but I googled her and she was actually a ballerina trained at Tisch School! She is taking singing lessons, tho. variety.com/2023/tv/actors/monica-barbaro-fubar-arnold-schwarzenegger-1235623617/I agreed that’s the most difficult part! Not Seeger nor Cash and less Dylan! Baez sings like an angel! How you imitate that? Lol

Plus, she barely opens her mouth at all when she sings and this HUGE voice comes out. I saw her once in the olden days and I couldn’t believe how much sound she put out with (seemingly) very little effort. Definitely the hardest part to nail!

I’m reading some old stuff about the project and someone said that Sean Penn would be perfect for Woody Guthrie and damn, they are right! He looks a lot like him!
Also someone claimed to have read the old script and that it was really good. I remember a comment on the World of Reel saying the opposite. Actually, asking if Rummy hasn’t said before that it was bad. No answer. Anyway, all of them are rumors. I would like to think that the very prestigious scriptwriter, someone who usually works with Scorsese, wrote a nice script.
EDITED Someone mentioned Ed Norton and he also looks like Guthrie! He is also closer to the age.

About the singing, all of them weren't the "real deal" in the sense that they used to sing traditional songs, some of them original but mostly by old forgotten authors. But actually Bob Dylan's voice was very cherished by the most purist part of the movement because he sounded "real". In other words, he sounded like an untrained random guy who writes some song for his own entertainment and it just becomes popular in his town and years later a middle class kid discovered it! Lol Some quarters in the movement saw trained voices like Baez or Seeger as "fake". Seeger himself saw the whole movement as a bridge for people to discover the original artists.
But, of course, Dylan wasn't the real deal neither! He was a nice Jewish kid from a very confortable middle class in Minnesota. He used to lie about his past. He still does! And apparently he was very unhappy when Newsweek revealed he came from a very stable family and had a good relationship with his parents (he had said the opposite!) and that he wasn't very working class. You can say that he became original when he went electric because then he was doing his own very thing.
Seeger was a Harvard student and his very left wing family came from a very privileged lineage. He worked for the Library of Congress as an archivist of folk music songs and went personally to search for those unknown and disenfranchised musicians. There is a part in the book about the difficult and the work it took for Seeger generation to find and promote Folk music (they actually met and lived with the people The "real" people: workers, poor blacks, migrants, etc.) and how Dylan's generation discovered all that heritage from their confortable houses listening the radio. Then he imitated their "rough" voices and claimed a lot of bonkers thing about his past! I remember there was a story about escaping with the circus! Lol I think it's mentioned in Scorsese's No Direction Home. It was a lie, of course.

I just realized that the people congratulating Alan Gasmer on Facebook for BC’s casting are all of them Hollywood people. Most of them others producers, Some names are repeated because he posted the news twice!
