A PAWN IN THEIR GAME.

[jade]

So this is Robert Zimmerman. But really, just call him Bob. I don't see him taking lightly to his full name (not that anyone would even take a stab at it). I feel as if it's futile to even attempt to describe him in just a few paragraphs. He quite possibly the most dynamic, mysterious, enigma that has ever existed. The task at hand is an enormous one.

So, Mr. Dylan here had fairly humble beginnings; starting out as a small town folk singer and slowly climbing his way to the tops of the charts with the help of John Hammond (his former producer) and Albert Grossman (his current manager). And what started out as ironic and comedic songs soon gave way for more serious subject matter. It seems he's in the middle of a transition into a newly created Bob Dylan - one that may or may not be received with open arms.

There is no doubt that the same smiling lad has been replaced by a rather cynical and jaded young man. Perhaps it was the revelation of the world's troubles, or maybe the life of a folk hero is beginning to wear him down. Either way, the shift is quite evident and the media has shown no compassion. Particularly about the incident on the Ed Sullivan Show where he deliberately walked out of the set.

He's always been reserved and self contained, but now it seems his attitude has taken a different path. Holding himself with an air of what seems to be arrogance (probably just a cover for his self-consciousness and insecurities), it's almost as if he lives on a pedestal, snapping back at interviewers and fans with an upturned lip and a sarcastic reply. Rumors have started circulated about drug use, but of course he denies them. He seems to be making an outright attempt at masking the truth at whatever costs, even if the truth is indeed something of a positive nature. He has a strong sense of privacy which has been consistently invaded as of recent times.

Dylan is not one to make friends easily or quickly. He holds up his walls of defense and thus building a barrier between he and the rest of the world. However, with enough time he may begin to grow comfortable with other company. He tends to be quick to judge, and at times he's nearly impossible to stand. It seems the only other person that can even bear to be around him for long periods of time is his "other half" Joan Baez. Just don't expect a conversation about personal emotions that isn't twisted around into some sort of misconstrued riddle.

[EMMY ELIZABETH SILVIAS]

So I have the following:

Brian Epstein - The Beatles' manager. Homosexual. Occasional asshole. They'd probably know each other.

Emma Silvias- Eight year old piano prodigy. Abused by father. Currently in an odd relationship with the Beatles. Plays rock music to get by (emotionally).

Zippy McKenna - Drummer, singer, ex violinist. Loud, sarcastic, passionate, loyal, American.

Just check out their profiles if you have any questions!

Zippy + Bob = classic. Obviously, Bob has a knack for dining and dashing, or fucking and chucking. I mean, shit look at what he did to poor Joan Baez... well maybe not her, but at least Edie Sedgwick. ANYWAY, what I'm getting at is that he's kind of an ass hole (duh?) and he'd probably be the one to lead her on, hook up, and then drop the ball like a hot potato. And then just act all awkward and Bob-like in public and just make situations totally and completely uncomfortable for the both of them.

[EMMY ELIZABETH SILVIAS]

Zippy's the same way! Though she's constantly on McCartney and Lennons' arses about similar behavior. That and she dips quite a bit into the drug and alcohol scene. Though I think Zippy might be the same way. Perhaps Bob can be thrown off by the fact that she isn't pissed like the other girls? And Zippy could make it just as awkward... These two would probably be pretty funny all things considered.

[jade]

I think the fact that Zippy isn't pissed off by it will piss HIM off, hahaha. And then he'll just grow slightly bitter about it and never say anything. But yeah, I can definitely see them dabbling in drugs and such together as well (for it's all well known that Dylan had um heh quite the drug habit).

NORRY NOVE MCKENNA

We talked just a touch. and I think Norry needs to be there when the boat sinks. Meaning, simply my dear lovets, that when Bob's life takes all those nasty tunres, I think it would be interesting for Norry to try to help... which isnt help at all... just comfort... She's a youn'un, and right now rebelling because of the fact that her sister left...

Recently moved into New York and working at a dance studio in Swing Dancing as well a, some time later, a flight attendant, she's quite fun ;D Just throwing things out there... Lol sorry

[/justify]

[jade]

WOO. Yeah, I totally like this. And since Joan is nowhere to be found for now, Norry could definitely be someone to try and help him out. Whether or not he receives it well is a totally different story...but yeah, I definitely think this is a greatttt idea. She could notice he starts looking a little more drab as the year goes on (and even since his last album release and such....since she seems to be a fan).

[norry]

Yes, she's definitely a fan! ;]

She'd notice something like that rather quickly. Plus, I can see him not tkaing help well, and I LOVE the drama in that XD like an off and on friendship? XD she trys... but really is better just keeping to herself...

[jade]

Yeah! Basically. He won't mind hanging around her when they just discuss silly things...like songs they find terrible and other mutual interests, but as soon as she voices her concern he clams up etc, etc. Typical Dylan.

[ZIPPY JUNE MCKENNA]

Zippy: I ish mutual interest?

[jade]

POSSIBLY. (Dylan really doesn't hate her as much as he lets on...he's just a difficult asshole with an inflated ego...)

[norry]

PLOT IT UP GURL!


Ooooh... what if, Zippy hears about Bob meeting Norry through Bob mentioning her or something... and Zippy doesnt like that she's friends with him? Either to protect Norry or for Bob's sake? IDK
random ideas :]
