The knockin' on Dylan's door drove him nuts (Bob Dylan: hippie-hating gun owner?)

One of my all-time favorites. Tnx for posting that.

Bob Dylan was a 2nd Amendment advocate and didn't know it - LOL.

That's excellent. You have kept the original meter of the lyrics perfectly. Blowed up the left real good too!

Not only that, but creeps thumping their boots across our roof could even take me to court if any of them fell off.

maybe he'll write a song about property rights for his next album

FWIW, Buddy Miller's new CD, Universal United House of Prayer, features a great version of With God On Our Side.

Any Buddy Miller fans out there?

There is a time and place to be reminded that war is a bad thing.

Though, it is not the worst thing.

I'm just finishing Alistair Horne's "The Price of Glory," about the battle of Verdun, and there's a quote from some French writer: "War is less costly than servitude. The choice is always between Verdun and Dachau."

Changing with the Wind
Sung to Blowing in the Wind

How many times must he flip flop and flip,
Before he takes a firm stand?
How many lies must he tell about Nam,
Before we all call his hand?
How many times can he vote pro and con,
Before he is totally canned?
His answer my friend, is changing with the wind.
His answer is changing with the wind.
How many times will he say George Bush lied,
Before he tells us a fact?
How many times must I hear him drone on,
And still my ears stay intact?
How many deaths did he cause there in Nam,
With all his appeasements at home?
The answer and trend, John Kerry's not our friend,
The answer's John Kerry's not our friend.
How many terms could John Kerry serve,
Before America's gone?
How many days before he would cave in,
Afraid to protect our home?
How many weeks till he gave us away,
And let the UN take the throne?
The answer my friend, we'd twist in the wind,
The answer is we'd twist in the wind.

Lots and lots of drugs helped the understanding, back in the 60s. Been there, did that, got the t-shirt.

Oy, that Newspeak mag excerpt (linked from # 63) doesn't sound too good:

Outside of my family, nothing held any real interest for me and I was seeing everything through different glasses. Even the horrifying news items of the day, the gunning down of the Kennedys, King, Malcolm X ...

I smell a ghost writer in those clichés (and there are many more of them there.) Disappointing...

"How many times can he (John Kerry) vote pro and con, Before he is totally canned?"

See tagline.

LOL

Did you catch a cat burglar, Meek? Or have the Mods been stalking you? ;-)

Suggest you check your olfactory. I read it all. I know Dylan. Dylan wrote it.

"And the one eyed undertaker, blows a funeral horn, come in she said Ill give ya, shelter from the storm.."

I don't think he is closet about it. Liberals have just turned his phrases to their own liking. I have been a fan a long time and in his interviews he always reflects my take on things. He has said for years he is not a the sheepish bleeding heart type. Compassionate yes, as all of us conservatives truly are, but not a liberal.

[My back yard]

I've known this about Dylan for a long time.

Yeah, me too.

[MeekOneGOP]

LOL! And good lyrics post there, CG!

My thanks to BulletBobCo for the concept of this

You know what is sooo funny about your post, I just bought a re-cut cd of an album of Donovan's that I had in the mid sixties. Called a Gift From a Flower to a Garden. Hey, it is a nostalgia thing. lol I really loved that album, and really wanted to hear some of it again.

[My back yard]

Never heard of him. I was born in 1946.

wow

[Revolting cat!]

That's even worse for Dylan if he wrote it. It's got more cliches than the first two pages of a Harry Potter book. And such hackneyed expressions in such number are typically a dead giveaway that a professional ghostwriter or editor had been involved and wrote it from interview tapes with the rambling subject, as most such things are concocted. You have no evidence that Dylan wrote it other than the statements in Newsweak magazine, which we here otherwise dismiss as lying MSM, and neither do I. Based on this excerpt, I say he didn't.
