LOL! I guess after you play the same lick over and over, you can get pretty fast at it, eh??? Funny, my husband and I were just listening to "50,000 Miles Beneath My Brain" (what a song...hehehe) last week and we were talking about that same fact.

"A Space In Time" seemed a little better, though.

Lou Reed like to "talk" his way through songs in between riffs and bass lines which were cool.

On that "Sweet Jane" album cover ['Transformer'] waaay back when, I thought Reed looked eerily like Herman Munster.

What a thread! May I nominate Do It Again by the indispensable Steely Dan. It's a saga of recidivism, mendacity and unchanging human nature - and it's pro-capital punishment, anti-casual sex and anti-gambling to boot. Set to a great samba beat.

DO IT AGAIN

(by Walter Becker and Donald Fagen)

In the mornin you go gunnin'

For the man who stole your water

And you fire till he is done in

But they catch you at the border

And the mourners are all singin'

As they drag you by your feet

But the hangman isn't hangin'

And they put you on the street


You go back Jack do it again

Wheels turnin' 'round and 'round

You go back Jack do it again


When you know she's no high climber

Then you find your only friend

In a room with your two timer

And you're sure you're near the end

Then you love a little wild one

And she brings you only sorrow

All the time you know she's smilin'

You'll be on your knees tomorrow


You go back Jack do it again

Wheels turnin' 'round and 'round

You go back Jack do it again


Now you swear and kick and beg us

That you're not a gamblin' man

Then you find you're back in Vegas

With a handle in your hand

Your black cards can make you money

So you hide them when you're able

In the land of milk and honey

You must put them on the table


You go back Jack do it again

Wheels turnin' 'round and 'round

You go back Jack do it again

BORN IN THE U.S.A.

Born down in a dead man's town
The first kick I took was when I hit the ground
You end up like a dog that's been beat too much
Till you spend half your life just covering up

Born in the U.S.A.
I was born in the U.S.A.
I was born in the U.S.A.
Born in the U.S.A.

Got in a little hometown jam
So they put a rifle in my hand
Sent me off to a foreign land
To go and kill the yellow man

Born in the U.S.A.
I was born in the U.S.A.
I was born in the U.S.A.
I was born in the U.S.A.
Born in the U.S.A.

Come back home to the refinery
Hiring man says "Son if it was up to me"
Went down to see my V.A. man
He said "Son, don't you understand"

I had a brother at Khe Sahn fighting off the Viet Cong
They're still there, he's all gone

He had a woman he loved in Saigon
I got a picture of him in her arms now

Down in the shadow of the penitentiary
Out by the gas fires of the refinery
I'm ten years burning down the road
Nowhere to run ain't got nowhere to go

Born in the U.S.A.
I was born in the U.S.A.
Born in the U.S.A.
I'm a long gone Daddy in the U.S.A.
Born in the U.S.A.
Born in the U.S.A.
Born in the U.S.A.
I'm a cool rocking Daddy in the U.S.A.
(c) 1984 Bruce Springsteen

------------------------------------------------

I'm the phrase "born in the U.S.A" is meant sarcastic

"Sweet Jane"???

Well, yeah! Velvet Underground. The Art Group that WAS an Art Group.

The song? Mary Jane? DREADED WEED FROM HELL?

Mebbe. But to Sontag's Against Interpretation I would amend: Against Too Much Interpretation! (I accept Lennon's account of the genesis of LITSWD. I'm gargling enough annoyance without having to tweak it out.)

The lyrics are NOSTALGIC and, to my mine, positive.

. . but those were different times . .

Poets walk among us. BEVARE!!!!!!

I'd strongly disagree with that statement. In the past he was very left-wing and sang songs like "George Jackson" praising the thug and "the Hurricane" which was another paean to a killer. He sang at Clinton's inaugural, and I've never read anything about Dylan (and I've read a lot) to suggest that he is conservative. Where is your proof?
