Reading the News, What Dylan Songs Come to Mind? [Vanity]
7/30/12 | dagogo redux

Posted on 07/30/2012 3:56:56 PM PDT by dagogo redux

Bob Dylan may not be appreciated by all the folks here at FreeRepublic, but I’ll bet he is by a great many.

What songs, lyrics, or phrases of his do you find going through your minds these days as the news in America becomes darker and more twisted?

She inherited a million bucks and when she died it came to me
I can't help it if I'm lucky...

The summer is gone
The ground’s turning cold
The stores one by one they’re a-foldin’
My children will go
As soon they grow
Well there ain’t nothing here now to hold them.

Now the senator he came down here
Showing everyone his gun
And handing out free tickets
To the wedding of his son
And me, I nearly get busted
And wouldn’t it be my luck
To get caught without a ticket
And be discovered beneath a truck
Oh, Mama, can this really be the end
To be stuck here inside of Mobile
With the Memphis blues again

I’ll probably get flamed big time for this, but I’ve always felt Dylan is the most overated singer/writer in modern times.

He's never been highly rated as a singer but as a writer - well, who would you rate higher?

'til a man came to speak and he said in one week
That Number Eleven is closin'
They say in the east C-O-2 is too high, that they'll make your coal not worth diggin'
That it's much cheaper down where the windmills go round
And electricity's free for nuthin'
Sorry, Bob.

Dedicated to the CFA haters:

He’s the property of Jesus
Resent him to the bone
You got something better
You got a heart of stone

Thanks. This thread rocks. Didja hear? - new Dylan album “Tempest” to be released on 9/11.

My tagline is from “Blessed be the Name of the Lord” which was never commercially released but closed a few shows in, I believe 1980.

Can't believe it got 50 posts without this one!

"Idiot wind blowing every time your move your mouth
Blowing down the backroads heading south
Idiot wind blowing every time you move your teeth
You're an idiot babe
It's a wonder that you still know how to breathe"

OHMIGOODNESS! So that’s what that guy did, LOL, sound purty s.t.u.p.i.d.

I saw some headlines about this, but I’d never heard of the “journalist” so I didn’t click on any. I figured it was some lefty smearing Romney, or the tea party, or Romeny and the Tea Party, or something like that. You know, real dog bites man stuff.

Now I will have to check it out.

As this thread goes a little way to showing, you can probably find a Dylan quote to suit your purposes.

I guess the song for Mr. Lehrer is “Idiot Wind”.

And a few snippets from one of my favorites - dedicated to all the mindless liberal females who voted for Obama [especially the middle verse]:

. . . In order to deal in this game, got to make the queen disappear
It’s done with a flick of the wrist
What’s a sweetheart like you doing in a dump like this ?

. . . Just how much abuse will you be able to take ?
Well, there’s no way to tell by that first kiss
What’s a sweetheart like you doing in a dump like this ?

. . . There’s only one step down from here, baby
It’s called the land of permanent bliss
What’s a sweetheart like you doing in a dump like this ?

Everybody Must Get Stoned. Based on political correctness towards murderous death cults, plus I’m here in California where a lot of people are inhaling the herb.

The foes will rise
With the sleep still in their eyes
And they’ll jerk from their beds and think they’re dreamin’
But they’ll pinch themselves and squeal
And they’ll know that it’s for real
The hour when the ship comes in.
And they’ll raise up their hands
And say “we’ll meet all your demands”
But we’ll shout from the bow,
“Your days are numbered!”
And like Pharoh’s tribe, they’ll be drowned in the tide
And like Goliath,
They’ll be conquered.

(”When The Ship Comes In”)
