Dude, I Got SO WASTED Last Night (but I Don't Do Dylan References)


Cate Blanchett as Bob Dylan (via Radosh) reminds me of the mock opera I saw at the Fringe Festival in '97 (oooh, what a year!) called "I Know Where Syd Barrett Lives" -- taken from the Television Personalities song of course. Syd too was played by a female. Must be something about that well-worn-and-kept rat's nest rocker hairstyle. Or maybe all the drugs brought out the feminine side in every musician during that era? Hell, I dunno. (Emily, you smoked a lot of pot, what do you think??) My friend Darron came up from Baltimore to see the play because, like every good boy who deserves fudge, he was very much into early Pink Floyd and Syd's solo stuff. Five minutes into it I whispered to him, "is that a chick?" His quick and unquestioning reaction: "yeah man, makes total sense."
