Last weekend, I spent a good chunk of my Sunday figuring out the chords to Paul McCartney’s “Backwards Traveler”. This little song (it’s literally just a minute or so long) has always been a favorite of mine, ever since I found it tucked away on the B-side of the “With a Little Luck” 45. The mystifying part of this song’s attraction is that the lyrics are utter and total nonsense.
“Hey, did you know that I’m
Always going back in time
rhyming slang, Auld Lang Syne my dears
Through the years
I Am the Backwards Traveller

I’ve just finished watching Todd Haynes’ “I’m Not There” while smoking an enormous Dominican cigar. Maybe not the typical July 4th celebration, but, really, what could be more appropriate? “I’m Not There” is Haynes’ idiosyncratic vision of the multi-dimensional Bob Dylan, and could another country than America have produced Dylan? After all, this is the country that ostensibly holds the ideal that we can be anything we choose to be, even if we choose to abandon selves and identities like snakes shedding their skins.
