I didn’t realize how good until the project began to unfold and I
saw and experienced how good the music and the stories truly were.”
Anecdotal Material:
“Fargo Rocks” tells the story of a music scene so vibrant
and strong that Bob Dylan was let go from not one, but two different bands
in the summer of 1959.
