The snow queen.

It seems curious to be answering this question in summer – but perhaps not so much, for my favourite fairytale, The Snow Queen, actually opens on a bright sunny day.

(Bob Dylan)

You speak to me in sign language,
As I'm eating a sandwich in a small cafe
At a quarter to three.

But I can't respond to your sign language.
You're taking advantage, bringing me down.
Can't you make any sound?

delicate sound of thunder... )

Funny sometimes the way associations will cluck about you like ragged hens waiting on a feed.

Re-watching Carnivale - and a friend's page here slipping down out the corner of my eye; Bob Dylan - 1976 Rolling Thunder Review.

Two countries on a threadbare map spread like an old blanket some shaman comes dancing on - a magic soft shoe shuffle.

And i'm thinking of Sam Shepard and his 'snake tide' and how Carnivale conjures that up so...

Digging out the battered copy from the book box - opening up the nicotine yellow pages with a snake skin sound, dry and flickering its tongue.

Old letter comes tumbling out - a note from someone and it turns into another Bob Dylan song - Dear Landlord - coz the letter is from a long lost house i rented.
The letter is from the owner. Throwing me out. On Xmas day.

True story.

Shot of Love – Bob Dylan 1981:

Shot of Love:

At first the air is the colour of brandy and then the colour of mud. Somewhere out there in the storm, station RZBD deep valley radio sends psalms out – flicking its own electricity out into the current thundering night. Weather like this… stop a man from thinking. He wipes a hand over his brow. It’s damp. Warm moisture over everything. Squints through the murk. He is alone. Trying to visualise a way out past the rain and out of the city. Out of the valley. Moving through the apartment past the table with the broken typewriter, the ashtray, the empty bottle and a copy of Time magazine. Looking out through the rain smeared window he dreams the dust bowl photographs of his youth.
