It sounds more like Richie Havens than Dylan.

You’re right, Dylan was not a hippie.

But we only knew that recently, after he wrote his book. Dylan was most likely a Libertarian, as well as an observant, religious Jewish person who also studied and accepted many Christian teachings, and who some would say coverted to Christianity, as evidenced by “Gotta Serve Somebody”.

Okay, it was Havens singing Tombstone Blues. Now I get it.

There is a Dylan Ping List, but I forget who handles it.

Thanks for the link.

I'm sure many if not most of you know that Bill Ayers' Weather Underground (originally known as "weatherman") took their name from some lyrics of a Bob Dylan song. The lyrics were "You don't need a weather man to know which way the wind blows". The song was titled "Subterranean Homesick Blues". Now Dylan has claimed relatively recently that he wasn't really part of that whole radical left movement of the sixties and seventies. But check out the first four lines of the song. Kind of strange I would think considering that the Weather Underground named their organization after words in this same song.

"Johnny's in the basement
Mixing up the medicine
I'm on the pavement
Thinking about the government"

I wonder if they’ll play Bryan Ferry’s ‘A Hard Rain’s a-Gonna Fall’.

You can’t get more revisionist than that.
