Dylan by Scorsese

Seems rather odd that it should be the BBC backing a Bob Dylan career retrospective-interview-documentary directed by Martin Scorsese, rather than an American media conglomerate. Wouldn't this be the coup to end all coup de graces? I mean, aren't these two men, no matter how they would place (or not place) on your own personal pantheon, the most influential American artists in their own particular fields still living? It'll be on PBS here in the states, but it'll probably be on during pledge time. I'll probably be watching in any case.
