The Dream King
Mar. 13th, 2005 11:03 amMichael Zulli is painting one more portrait of Morpheus: the last, the best, the definitive portrait. He's publishing a diary of his progress [dead link removed], and it looks terrific - a classic Joshua Reynolds court portrait. The only thing is, as it stands right now, it's a portrait of Bob Dylan.
This doesn't bother me as much as it might: in fact, it makes a lot of sense. A lot of Dylan's great songs could easily be dreams (not to mention the ones that are explicitly "Bob Dylan's 115th Dream" etc.)
What's more, of all the famous figures that people dream about (as in, people's dreams about the Queen, or Madonna), Dylan's the only one who's ever visited my dreams.
So one way or another, I think Michael Zulli has put his finger on something here: I suppose he's done it consciously...?
