The next day, waiting for the film to come back from the lab, I went to the Pasadena Public Library. It was quiet and peaceful there. It occurred to me that it was a bit strange for a music video director to prefer this room to some other more flashy media environment, but it felt comfortable to me. In fact, one of the great things for me about Pasadena was its closeness to the Huntington Library, a remarkable place with 120 acres of gardens, and one of the world’s great collections of original books and manuscripts: Shakespeare folios, a Gutenberg Bible, Faulkner manuscripts,Ezra Pound, T.S. Eliot, and so on. . . .Books. . . . (From ETHAN RUSSELL:AN AMERICAN STORY )
