To each their own moment in time.
Tonight I heard for the first time, yes, I do believe so, Bob Dylan.
Thanks so musicovery’s lovely option of being able to select which era of songs you want to hear - I’m such a 60s -70s child of music, seriously, was born decades too late - I suddenly heard this person singing which struck me to the core, much like Elvis Costello did the first time I heard him. And I ran to mibook’s screen to check out who was playing…and lo and behold, I found out that it was Mr Bob Dylan.
Had been contemplating whether to catch "I’m Not There"…and the last thought I remember having about it was, what’s the point of going to catch this highly acclaimed movie just because of it being highly acclaimed when I don’t know smack about Bob Dylan, cept that he was a famous musician.
But after hearing "All I Really Want to Do"…..
*slaps head on forehead*….I’ve HEARD BOB DYLAN BEFORE! Musicovery’s now playing "Lay, Lady, Lay"…it’s also by Bob Dylan. but ok, seriously, "All I Really Want to Do" is the first song of Bob Dylan’s that has struck me just like that. Hearing it, I felt like all the air had whooshed out of my chest for a second there.
-.-.-.-.-
In other news: have started working at a cinema. part-time. So far, it’s pretty cool. Me happy.
But then I watched Once, and that just made me feel all confused inside. It reminded me of two other films: Prime and Les Parapluies de Cherbourg.
I think these three films are rare in the same sense that they don’t provide a neat tied-up happily ever after of the love story that’s being told/filmed, but rather, of a more twisty-hearted kind. The kind that makes you go "shucks, I recognise that as love, but ouch" ….or in the case of LPdC "ARGH ARGH ARGH! Why didn’t you wait for him,
Geneviève, you stupid cow!"
-.-.-.-.-
Again, more for myself than anyone else’s benefit: for all my (icky)moodiness of late, I am aware of the love that I’m surrounded by both near and far. To list out all the people and occurrences that have made my heart smile (if not my face) in just the last 48 hours would be a lengthy job. So for all that and more, I am thankful. :o)
2 Things!
1. Fuck Bob Dylan. Asshole.
2. Once is an amazing movie! I love it love it love it, especially since I was not very sure I was going to like it before I did.
Good work on the cinema job!
Whaaa…whoa, whaddup with Bob Dylan?
Man’s got a voice, dunno bout his vice(s).
Yeah, Once is an amazing movie. I think it’s quite possibly the best movie I’ve watched in 2008 so far. No kidding.
I took a room service to Bob Dylan once, and he was the biggest dick this side of Jupiter. So he can die, painfully and slowly. I used to like his music too though if that helps, I just can’t listen to it anymore
By all means though, enjoy! I just swore I’d curse his name every time he was mentioned!
You’re going to have to write me about that, sir! =P
Details details….oh why do people who produce such beauty be capable of such assholity at the same time?? I’ll never understand.
ps: operation locate post office + obtain stamps was a success yesterday.
