Alicia Keys Responds to Bob Dylan’s Creepy Comments
By now you’ve probably heard about Bob Dylan’s comments about Alicia Keys, in “On Thunder on the Mountain,” the opening song off his latest album, Modern Times, where he sings “I was thinking ’bout Alicia Keys, I couldn’t keep from crying/While she was born in Hell’s Kitchen, I was livin’ down the line…” And then in an interview with Rolling Stone he commented, “There’s nothing about that girl I don’t like.”
In an interview with the Observer, Keyes responds:
“I’ve never met him. It was mind-blowing. I couldn’t quite believe it. He’s a person that’s seen so many things and been a part of music for so long. For him to give a shit about me is pretty exciting. I like it.”
And another interesting twist, John Mayer was the one who told her about the name check. WTF?
“I could not believe it. The first person who told me was John Mayer. He said, ‘You’re never gonna believe this, but I just heard that Dylan has your name in his song.’ What? I was totally not expecting it but then I couldn’t wait to hear it.”

[...] 他找上了Michael Pitt。Pitt除了是Nirvana的忠實樂迷，與搖滾電影也頗有淵源。他曾於Hedwig and the Angry Inch裡飾演搖滾歌手；在Murder By Numbers裡也是名散發著歌德性格的邪氣少年。現實世界裡他甚至擁有自己的樂隊Pagoda（Live Review），且他的偶像Sonic Youth的吉他手Thurston Moore正是Last Days的音樂顧問。影片開拍前，Pitt還特地前往Thurston家中拜訪數次；希望透過他的描繪，能將Cobain的神態揣摩得更為傳神。 [...]
