the depth of the dream - the dream as seen in the mirror. The next film might
have some blood. I'm trying to locate Lois Smith to be in it. She would
represent the idea of innocence. Do you know who she is? She was the barmaid in
East of Eden. I'm trying to line up some people for the film, and I can't find
her. For some reason I've just thought of my favorite singer.

favorite.

>> Dylan: Yeah, that's where my singing really comes from...except that I sing
in America. I've heard too much Lead-belly really to be too much influenced by
the whirling dervishes.

which is on the jukebox right now.

Yes, in the days before the Internet information like this was difficult to
research.
