Woody and Bob
Everyonce in awhile I spot someone in a movie or hear about them from someone and I become intrigued by who they are. For instance, I saw a trailer for a Woody Allen movie once and I just loved the idea for the movie. I feel like I identify with the same guy he plays in all of his films so I decided that I would watch all of his films and fall in love with the director and all of his work and become a Woody fanatic. Unfortunately, most of his films suck. Some are decent and I was able to finish them but others left me comatised. I really want to be a Woody Allen fan, but sorry, its just not working out.
Another person who I think is cooler that cool is the free wheelin', Bob Dylan. I have a lot of his music and I do appreciate it. He did a lot for the music world and most guitarists wish the could attribute their influence to him, although they are lying and really grew up listening to crappy Nirvana and later John Mayer albums. Right now I'm reading the Bob Dylan Chronicles: Volume 1. It talks about how he moved to the West Village when he was still a teen and got his start in many of the bars I pass everyday when I walk through the Village. I like to point these places out to friends as sacred landmarks but they don't really care.
I think more people of our generation should look outside of the mainstream culture they are familiar with to see where there interests really lie. Whether movies, music, literature, art or anything else that may interest one person; it can strike someone else as gold too. So Woody, no matter how crappy your movies may be, you're still gold in my book. And Bob, even though you act like a tool in your middle aged years, you were the coolest teenager of the '60's and for that, I thank you.
