Well, not hanging around the
Dendy, anyway.
A: I’m Not There,
the curious presentation of various aspects of Bob Dylan, with Cate Blanchett,
among others, as Bob Dylan. In the Richard Gere segment, a recreation of
a fantasy world of outlaw history and myth, containing images from some of
Dylan’s more elliptical lyrics, a (male) ostrich and a giraffe amble
across the screen. I do not know of any Dylan song that actually mentions
ostriches and giraffes, or refers to African wildlife in even general terms,
but perhaps someone can help me on that, although this is probably the wrong
chatline. If there was no reason why not, I would have preferred an emu
in the interest of wider biogeographical representation. Just
a matter of availability, I suppose.
