Cat Power - "Stuck Inside of Mobile With The Memphis Blues Again" (Bob Dylan)

"Anyway, then we went downstairs and he was like, 'I want to show you what I want you to wear'. When he opened the little dressing room, it was all Bob Dylan T-shirts. 'I just want you to wear this. I’m going to rip it a little'. I was like, 'No way'. He’s like, 'You look great. Just leave your hair up'. He took about six Polaroids, 8x10. I was sick. I’d just gotten back from Mexico. I had some toxin in my blood. On the seventh shot, he had cut my shirt. He said, 'Keep pulling it up — just like it’s a towel or something'. And that’s the picture. My stomach was hurting so bad because I wasn’t eating and was just manic. My jeans were unbuttoned and unzipped the whole time, but when he told me to take the shirt off to snip it, that picture happened. The first pubic hairs ever to be published in The New Yorker. My grandmother shit a brick" (aqui + reler aqui)
