I've done this before, but I should point out that Dylan's
EMPIRE BURLESQUE contains a slew of references to THE MALTESE
FALCON. There's actually a list of some of the references on
my site.
Hmmmm....maybe Dylan could be in this RED HARVEST musical. I
wonder if he can dance? Let's just hope he doesn't wear
tights....
And hey, isn't Chandler more or less lyrical and romantic,
and on more than one occasion, after a run-in with the wrong
end of a blackjack, somewhat hallucinatory?
