About 2 months ago while in a house in Palm Springs for the Coachella Music Festival I opened up a book about Salvador Dali and his paintings and their interpretations/meanings...I need to buy that book. Really increadible reading about the pieces and just analyzing them...anyone else fascinated by Dali?

- Legends abound that during his later years, he would take his students/disciples to fine restaurants and would order lavish banquets. When the bill arrived, Dali would write out a check, but before signing it, would draw a piece of original artwork on the back of the check as the waiter watched. The owner of the restaurant, knowing that he was in possession of a Dali original, would never cash the check. Therefore, Dali would be literally writing his own money.
- The U2 song "Tryin' To Throw Your Arms Around the World", from the album Achtung Baby, features the lyrics "Yeah I dreamed that I saw Dali with a supermarket trolley, He was tryin' to throw his arms around a girl. He took an open top beetle through the eye of a needle, He was tryin' to throw his arms around the world."
