Any Dylan fans? (page 2)

Dagney

Saw him with designs and friends with Van Morrison and Joni Mitchell. He had just won grammy and was in a very playful mood, and was excellent. I think this was maybe 10 years ago...dunno, I think the "Time Out of Mind" album. Great album and I think his recent stuff is every bit as good as the early stuff. The music is more rockabilly...the last one is with Los Lobos...I think it's great.

I saw him again 3 years ago or so, and he wasn't as animated or engaging...and was more on the muffled side, but the music was great...

Band on the Run

I recall seeing all these famous bands at the Fillmore East and other NY venues on a high school student's salary.

Did anyone read Chronicles? I enjoyed it very much. Not certain I know much biographical info from Dylan but the read was pure pleasure. He has a way with words. I wonder what his high school English teachers thought?

I quit!

My love of Dylan goes back to my pre-jw days. Over the years I've had Dylan records and cassettes, CD and DVDs. Recently I purchase Bob Dylans Greatest hits volume III and a DVD about his life. What a character. I don't know if you saw the episode of "Pawn Stars" where Chumlee went looking around Las Vegas to have him sign an Album for him but it was very funny. Dylan must like the show or he wouldn't have agreed to be on it. He hosts a show on Sirius Satalite radio I listen to when ever I can.

If I heeded his advise I may have been able to avoid listening to the Watchotower" Don’t follow leaders
Watch the parkin’ meters"

Subterranean Homesick Blues

Johnny’s in the basement
Mixing up the medicine
I’m on the pavement
Thinking about the government
The man in the trench coat
Badge out, laid off
Says he’s got a bad cough
Wants to get it paid off
Look out kid
It’s somethin’ you did
God knows when
But you’re doin’ it again
You better duck down the alley way
Lookin’ for a new friend
The man in the coon-skin cap
By the big pen
Wants eleven dollar bills
You only got ten

Maggie comes fleet foot
Face full of black soot
Talkin’ that the heat put
Plants in the bed but
The phone’s tapped anyway
Maggie says that many say
They must bust in early May
Orders from the D.A.
Look out kid
Don’t matter what you did
Walk on your tiptoes
Don’t try “No-Doz”
Better stay away from those
That carry around a fire hose
Keep a clean nose
Watch the plain clothes
You don’t need a weatherman
To know which way the wind blows

Get sick, get well
Hang around a ink well
Ring bell, hard to tell
If anything is goin’ to sell
Try hard, get barred
Get back, write braille
Get jailed, jump bail
Join the army, if you fail
Look out kid
You’re gonna get hit
But users, cheaters
Six-time losers
Hang around the theaters
Girl by the whirlpool
Lookin’ for a new fool
Don’t follow leaders
Watch the parkin’ meters

Ah get born, keep warm
Short pants, romance, learn to dance
Get dressed, get blessed
Try to be a success
Please her, please him, buy gifts
Don’t steal, don’t lift
Twenty years of schoolin’
And they put you on the day shift
Look out kid
They keep it all hid
Better jump down a manhole
Light yourself a candle
Don’t wear sandals
Try to avoid the scandals
Don’t wanna be a bum
You better chew gum
The pump don’t work
’Cause the vandals took the handles

I also like his son Jakob. Great with the Wall Flowers and also great on his own.

and the DA said he was the one who did the deed. And the all-white jury agreed...

Hurricane is one of my all time favorites.

Summer of 1965, Huntington Beach California, Beach towel laid out south side of the Pier and on comes 'Like a Rollin Stone'.

Once upon a time you dressed so fine......

I'm watching "No Direction Home" in short bursts these days. I saw Bob at Newport and I was on the street in Greenwich Village during that time.

Love that stuff! Brings back memories.

"Like a Rolling Stone" my memory is summer afternoon at the community swimming pool in Ojai. They played the local AM radio station KACY(Ventura I think) over the loud speaker...it was cool because it was the only radio station we had, and EVERYBODY in Ventura Co listened to it. So if you dedicated a song to someone...EVERYBODY knew it. I digress)

It was a perfect day, even for a 9 yr old. I remember the moment vividly.

Band on the Run

Stillin,

I was too young to see him in his early Village days. Please tell us about Newport. I miss folk music.

Does anyone have a favorite later album?

When I heard that Bob Dylan, the Great Legend, was doing cadillac commercials I laughed so hard. Ah, how he cuts through the beliefs about the poet of his generation - maybe several generations. All the music I grew up with I liked at the time but I never thought it would last. I gave the Beatles three years at the most. My doctor played Girl of the North Country recently. It is so beautiful. Nice than things seemed to have improved with age.

I read about Newport in the Village Voice. Heard about Bob Dylan, then the NYT covered the controversy. It was a while before I heard Dylan b/c the top forty did not play him.

Maggie's Farm reminds me of the Witnesses.

Any Dylan fans?
