Idiot Wind


One of the coolest parts I thought was at the end when you see the panhandler playing acoustic guitar. He is playing Bob Dylan's "Idiot Wind". During this scene it(the lyrics) almost gives the most dialouge than any other scene in the movie. A perfect song choice. It kind of wound up all the lonliness and solitude while also saying life is gonna be ok. We still can listen to Bob Dylan. I wonder if this panhandler was the same as the one in Slacker,which is by the way hilarious for the 15 seconds he is in it.

Yeah, it's the same street musician as the one in Slacker according to the commentary. The guy is a former roommate of Linklater's.

It is one of my favorites as well. "Sweet Little Lady"
