Wanna be a Mirror?

One little thing can make your day...yesterday morning, at the Starbuck's counter, ordering my iced latte, lo and behold, a new Dylan "official," Bootleg, classic performances, never officially released, the soundtrack to Martin Scorcese's documentary coming in September.

It's a treasure trove of stuff, alternate takes, rare, one-time performances, songs spanning his most prolific period, 1959 - 1966. For us dedicated Dylanologists it's like finding another Dead Sea Scroll!

A great word I culled from the liner notes from Andrew Loog Oldman (former Rolling Stones Manager) - "the looniverse." There's also this - Marcel Proust: what we call "genius" is (paraphrasing) one who has turned their personality into a sort of MIRROR.
