do you know barbara jean?

hi.
i'm opal.
i'm gathering information about the characteristics of music people. i just finished a documentary on gandi.
the architect his buildings are drippy. you know, like sand and castles. then i got this assignment. they want to start in two weeks.
why?
what? oh. a film.
you weren't really going to drive off?
my name's opal. what's yours?
you going to nashville?
good. i came out here to meet some underground singer. they say she only writes in those trees over there.
she never came. i'm trying to gather some information about the characteristics of music people for english television. i started in san francisco. some friends were making an anti-war film about 'nam, you know, and i just love marine movies. it is really the consummate art form, all those parts of the puzzle to make the whole. all that energy being collective, you know what i mean?
i've been all over the united states now except for maine and vermont.
what did you say your name was?
star - oh! that's a fantastic name. almost as good as opal. i changed my name in taos. this man that was really into low budget movies said my eyes were opalistic.
i'm going to make the consummate documentary as soon as i finish gathering information. you know it's so nice not to feel oppressed in a society that is male oriented.
no, i told you that.
