Armour

[poliphilo]

Personality is armour. Artists- volatile and sensitive individuals whose work involves much exposure to public gaze- often develop particularly baroque personalities. This really isn't surprising.

Consider Bob Dylan. I think, from all I've been reading lately, that he's actually quite a nice, shy, ordinary little guy at heart. It's a measure of the fragility of the man that the personality he projects is so monstrous.

I haven't seen it but I've read about it.

I've been struck, watching all this Dylan footage, how every so often there'll be a moment when he looks spookily like Lennon. It's not a phyical resemblance, so it must be something to do with poise and attitude
