I know this wouldn't be a valid source but there's no doubt that
the journalist in the film is Horace if you research.  WAREL 20:41, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

message: Please revert the excessive praise for The Eighth Day of Creation.  Also, most of the added material needs to be sourced.  Rather than placing a dozen or so  tags, I'd appreciate it if the article were edited down to sourced material.  — Arthur Rubin |  (talk) 14:03, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Praise for the book 

message: "He appears in D. A. Pennebaker's documentary film about Bob Dylan Dont Look Back, in which he was subjected to what he believes to be a contrived tirade of abuse from Dylan. Judson had been waiting for an opportunity to interview Dylan during the day's filming and when the opportunity presented itself, Dylan launched into a verbal attack on Time magazine. Judson recalls that Dylan became extremely agitated and questioned the worth of Judson's existence: "You're going to die". "So am I. I mean, we're just gonna be gone. The world's gonna go on without us. All right now, you do your job in the face of that and how seriously you take yourself, you must decide for yourself." The film's producer Pennebaker does not believe the tirade was planned, but notes that Dylan backed off, not wanting to come across as being too cruel. However, Judson believes the confrontation was contrived to make the sequence more entertaining. "The conversation was flat. Suddenly, however, Dylan leapt to his feet and started berating me. He said, for example, something like, "You'll never understand it; it happens so fast it'll go right past you." It startled him but he says he kept trying to ask sensible interesting questions, but the attack persisted. Judson says that he just shrugged his shoulders and left. "The whole episode was entirely unprovoked. That evening, I went to the concert. My opinion then and now was that the music was unpleasant, the lyrics inflated, and Dylan, a self-indulgent whining show off".[4]"
I suggest that this needs editing for sheer length as his science work is far more important?

replies: text: His science work way very well put him up there with Einstein, but his run in with Dylan I would say makes up for at least 50% of his notability: to most people, he's just the "little chubby journo Dylan has a go at." Cheers, Lion King 11:18, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

text: Hi Martin. That's attended by the way (many moons ago). I have a very high opinion of science in general. The only reason I inserted so much information with reference to his Dylan inteview was because the article was so sparse, I'm only a musician and I'm afraid I don't know too much about his scientific achievements. If you do, then please insert them. I quite agree that there does not need to be a blow by blow, verbatim account, concerning the interview and of course I will be happy to cut it down to the bare bones and insert the rest of it into the Dont Look Back article. I have also met George, very nice guy, so very sad wasn't it? Best wishes, Lion King 18:41, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
