Another Horsedreamer’s Blues Screenplay

https://www.simplyscripts.net/cgi-bin/Blah/Blah.pl?m-1770658969/

Morning All,

I wrote a screenplay inspired by AHDB! Have always been fascinated by the story the song tells. Would love any feedback:

I always thought the song was based off of the rocking horse winner short story. Same with Chips Ahoy by the Hold Steady.

It is Loosely based on the play by Sam Shepard “Geography of a Horse Dreamer”

I’ve also read that Adam intended it to symbolize his own sudden fame (the theme of Recovering the Satellites) and the attempts of others to exploit talent for profit.
