[Prodigal Daughter]

Bob Dylan Tangled Up in Jews

His son is talented too. Jakob Dylan's I've Been Delivered:

Wallflowers - I've Been Delivered

I could break free from the wood of a coffin if I need
But nothin's hard as Gettin' free from places I've already been

I've been waste-deep in the burnin' meadows of my mind
In the engine In cold December shootin' fire from the hose

Now turn off your lights
'cause I'm not comin' home
'til I'm delivered for the first time

I was first-born to a parade that follows in rows
down a narrow cold black river faceless shadows movin' slow

I would move swift when the sounds of a trumpet would blow
I've been the puppet, I've been the strings, I know the vacant face it brings

Now the bells of curfew They may ring before I'm through
But soon I'll be delivered for the first time

You might keep clean in the back of an angel motorcade
It doesn't matter who walks in you know, the joke is still the same
You'll just wake up like a disposable lover decomposed
I've been gone, I've been remembered, I've been alive, I've been a ghost

So now, if downtown explodes
I'll still be on this road
'til I'm delivered for the first time

I have drawn blood from the neckline when vampires were in fashion
You know I'd even learn to cut my throat If I thought I could fit in

'Cause I, I once heard that you gotta learn how to blend in to this mess
Where nothin's hard nothin's precious and nothin's smooth or flawless

Now, no more amused
just screaming to be delivered
for the first time

Now I'm 10 miles in the deep and mighty blue sea
Looking back, towards a long white beach burnin' up into yellow flames

And I just wave back like a little boy up on a pony in a show
'cause I can't fix something this complex any more than I can build a rose

So just keep on letting go
'cause I must be close
to being delivered for the first time

Now I'd rather bleed out a long stream from being lonely and feel blessed
Well than drown, laying face down in a puddle of respect
I was once lost in the corridors of the arena in blindfolds
I've been the bull, I've been the whip, I just pulled down the matador

So now, turn on your lights
'cause I'm comin' home
I've been delivered for the first time

BTW Dennis, great thread, even got Larry involved in music (parentage of couse, those pesky Nuremburg laws).

Wanted to send some cheer from google, but didn’t know which you’d like. You like even numbers, so probably #4, but I’ll send them all.

[JMJ333]

He did? But then again, did he choose his nick at random, I wonder?

Its actually a reference to a clinton scandal.

I am curious about the whole thing regarding Dylan. Do you know anything about his politics or who he was influenced by?

[SJackson]

Oh my
I see Larry often on the board.
He is a jew hater, and by extension, now hates Bob Dylan?
I have it from the highest authority that Bob loves Jesus.
But, Bob hates Larry, and all of his ilk

If you’ve seen LL often you know he’s big on parentage and grand-parentage per the Nuremburg Law standards.

A Christian might accept his conversion, as a Jew, I would accept him as a Christian, but to a Nazi, he’d be a Jew, and with Jewish parents off to the camps with him.

Isn’t this underlying current of hatred despicable. It’s like the jihadist posters. Come out and say what they are, make their case. I for one would be glad to talk to them.

I'm not that big a fan, but here I am defending him anyway, against notheing, because he's a Christian with Jewish parents, and he's from Minnesota.

Check out this 1911 essay. Tell me if you hear Pete Seeger, Bob Dylan and other lefty song writers in the prose

[SJackson]

1911? Sousa just finished a world tour. I don't think he had any Jewish relatives, but check before responding. Can't be too careful

It's a Bob Dylan thread Larry. Care to join the real world?

[JMJ333]

Thanks. From the second link: Who is the Jokerman? We claim Jesus is not the answer.

Being a devout Catholic, I think I'll pass, but I appreciate the info. Regards.

[JMJ333]

That was one long "Hate your country because it sucks" screed not worth the html its printed on. How anyone could be inspired by that is...well... it reminds my of Hillary Clinton actually.

[JMJ333]

I didn't think you were. I appreciate the links you posted. Have a good evening. =)

Great Dylan thread!

[Moby Grape]

Check out the lyrics to SLOW TRAIN COMING (Bob Dylan Chords web site)...he talks about embarassed America should be because arabs from the middle east decide AMERICA's future...."walking around with rings in their noses".

[saurus]

The MOST misunderstood Dylan lyric of all time (for my money) is in "Change my way of thinking" on the "Slow Train" album - (I'm pretty sure that's the title)

There's a line that actually says "Fools glorify themselves trying to man-ip-u-late Satan" - He breaks it up really weird.

If you KNOW what he says and listen, it couldn't be clearer.

Typically Dylan ;^)
