until I paused to reconsider...only to realize that it is not James Dean I see. It is LUKE PERRY, aka Dylan McKay of the popular American television series Beverly Hills, 90210. When I hear "It's not your money
that they're after, biy, it's you..." I remember those first Dylan episodes when Brenda and Kelly were both crushie on Mr. McKay. In particular, I think of the episode in which Brenda dyed her hair blonde to attract his attention. Of course, this was long before anyone knew of
Dylan's wealth, hence, Brenda and Kelly weren't after his wallet, they were just after his elusive persona.
Yeah, but Luke Perry is a big bomb in every film he has ever made. I keep seeing Bob Dylan everytime I hear those lyrics which is completely bizarre since I'm guessing his acting is no better than his singing...if he was to ever star in a film. Here's my bizarre theory 'coz I want to go into a bizarre tagent. It's 4 in the morning and, well.... The drugs could have made him paranoid hence why they're singing "don't look back" and he has made a score, (because he;'s in the park and you know that the park is the best place to buy drugs since kids like to do hits in between games) but some hoodlums decide they want to run after him and take him down, yet Bob doesn't know why or what to do. Does he get rid of the money and distract them while he tries to get away? No, because they want to beat the shit out of him personally for making that MTV unplugged album. If he looks back, then it would be like the biblical story where the girl turns into a pillar of salt. And then he will go blowing in the wind. And the answer my friend, is blowing in the wind. thanks for letting me get that off my chest. yours, Suzanne ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

He has starred in films, hasn't he? In fact, he was in a film called 'Don't look back', as well as some others I can't remember. Ummm... title sounded like a cowboy film...errr... [Have I missed the point here? Hope not]

I prefer that explanation though. Much better. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Yep, apart from the dreadful "Hearts of Fire" (see previous post), he was in Pat Garrett & Billy The Kid (1973ish), which was an OK western where he didn't do/say much, and the amazing "Don't Look Back" (1965) directed by D.A.Pennebaker. A supposedly "fly on the wall" documentary made on his last acoustic-only tour of the UK. Is he playing up to the camera? You decide. He made another film the following year with Pennebaker, which is more honest (Bob throwing up on John Lennon in a taxi), but it never made it to the silver screen...bootlegs have surfaced under the title "Eat The Document". ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Visit the TRAUMATONE/Great Northern Electrics/Bacchanalian Revel homepage: http://www.geocities.com/~greatnorthern/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

He did....his acting wasn't great, despite the fact he was playing an aging rock star (Hearts of Fire, 1985ish). Sorry, can't agree about his singing though....
