Updated the Sydney Dylan Society page with some newses. One, C.P Lee is in the country in November and will be popping along to the meeting on the 17th. He's out for some conference thingy in Melbourne. His books on Dylan, Like A Bullet of Light about Dylan films and Like the Night about the1966 UK tour, are very highly recommended. I'm quite excited about it.
Second, "Drawn Blank" the exhibition of Bobby's artwork is on at the 29 Spring St Gallery in Bondi Junction from tomorrow, 29th October through to the end of November. We're having a Halloween viewing this Friday so I'll be sure to let you know if he's hopeless with the watercolours. A signed print is yours for only $3000 I hear! Make mine a double.

Just reading The Independant online:
"Schatzberg photographed for magazines, including American Vogue, before turning his hand to directing films. "I remember taking some photographs of Bob for the Saturday Evening Post. In those days, you didn't think twice about sending them off without keeping copies. I don't know where those pictures are now. They may be sitting in some drawer in an office."
Having made his debut as a film director in 1970 with Puzzle of a Downfall Child, followed by The Panic in Needle Park and Scarecrow, which won the shared Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival in 1973, Schatzberg bumped into Dylan again. "I last met him at a wedding of a mutual friend in the early 1970s. Since we had last hung out as friends, I'd made three movies. He wanted to know how I'd gone about it as he wanted to make films, too. I said I'd made a few commercials, but really I'd just had a good story to tell. He said, 'Should I make commercials, will this help?', and I said, 'No, Bob, you don't need to make commercials'."
