Dylan to Noonan

03Jul08

When I’d written Bullet in the Brain it was more of a Dylanian inspiration than magical creativity cooked up in an unexpected moment of sheer originality. It went largely unnoticed, rightfully so. But I took solace in the fact that the title was an apt fit for the piece, well within the standards of alliteration and rhyme. It gave me immense satisfaction to know that the title for a piece needn’t be searched for, it could simply be a portion of the text from the composition. Almost effortless and all the more fitting. What I’d not counted on, was that the title itself was as unoriginal and misplaced as the post.

A better short film, I’m yet to see. And I certainly can’t comment on the movie. 13.20 seconds of inexplicable paralysis should more than do the job.
