The Eyes of Tammy Faye concerns another magnetic personality: Tammy Faye Bakker-Messner, a tabloid diva with more character twists than a fiction writer could ever devise. Lucky for Fenton Bailey and Randy Barbato, the directors of this documentary, Tammy Faye already exists. RuPaul narrates this trip through the soap-opera life of the beleaguered televangelist — the mascara, the bad marriages, the scandals. The media skewered Tammy Faye so much, she claims that by comparison "O.J. Simpson was nothing." Still, the filmmakers feel too affectionate toward their subject — Tammy Faye was among the first televangelists to support men with AIDS — to do more than skim the surface. Eyes sees what it wants to see, but it's a riveting glimpse.

“All Along the Watchtower”

Jimi Hendrix got hold of Bob Dylan's early John Wesley Harding tapes and in late 1967 recorded a version of "All Along the Watchtower" with the Experience in London. Dissatisfied with that first development, Hendrix brought those tapes with him to New York in early 1968 when he began work on Electric Ladyland. Eddie Kramer, Hendrix's engineer at the time, told Rolling Stone that Hendrix "was still looked upon by his basically white audience as the mammoth black guitar hero. There was a constant fight within him to expand himself." Hendrix's successful take on Dylan's work has long been recognized by the songwriter. "I liked Jimi Hendrix's record of this and ever since he died I've been doing it that way," Dylan wrote in the liner notes to his Biograph box set. "Strange how when I sing it, I always feel it's a tribute to him in some kind of way."
