In 1990, Faridi spoke with Francoise Gilot and recorded the experience in a journal. For nearly ten years, Gilot had been the lover and muse of Pablo Picasso. Perhaps Faridi felt a kinship, as she would be linked to Dylan for the rest of her life, though to a lesser extent than Gilot to Picasso. On a subsequent page, Faridi seems to have had a dispute with Gilot over whether or not Picasso was a believer in metaphysics.
