‘You have created a self contained world with it’s own frame of reference…whatever you choose will be appropriate to creating and extending and exploring the themes in our lives and in the song. A celebration of music, of life, of the loner, the obsessive, the poet or musician on their own terms of what it is to be alive and not at the beck and call or whim of an insensitive and sometimes hostile society. Courageous in the face of all this… But they are not always alone…some people are touched and changed by them…some are fellow ‘warriors of the heart’ and come to offer support. Some are affronted and threatened by it… some need to control it and envy it… some just want to share in it’
-Ist AD Barry Wasserman pre-production script notes.
