I think this may be the first Dylan thread, with legs, ever on FR
don-o,
from the FR class of '98 and the hi skool class of '64 and still digging Dylan.
Chords for the song.

D A E
Well, the neighborhood bully, he's just one man,
D A E
His enemies say he's on their land.
G D A
They got him outnumbered about a million to one,
A E G D
He got no place to escape to, no place to run.
A D A D A D A
He's the neighborhood bully.
On his most recent tour, europe it was, he played "Solid Rock" about 20 times.
Well, I'm hangin' on to a solid rock
Made before the foundation of the world
And I won't let go, and I can't let go, won't let go
And I can't let go, won't let go, and I can't let go no more.
For me He was chastised, for me He was hated,
For me he was rejected by a world that He created.
Nations are angry, cursed are some,
People are expecting a false peace to come.
Well, I'm hangin' on to a solid rock
Made before the foundation of the world And I won't let go, and I can't let go, won't let go
And I can't let go, won't let go, and I can't let go no more.
It's the ways of the flesh to war against the spirit
Twenty-four hours a day you can feel it and you can hear it
Using all the devices under the sun.
And He never give up 'til the battle's lost or won.
Well, I'm hangin' on to a solid rock
Made before the foundation of the world
And I won't let go, and I can't let go, won't let go
And I can't let go, won't let go, and I can't let go no more.

I'd bet not...otherwise why would he have written it? The title tells you that people were against 'The Neighborhood Bully" when he wrote it.
Do not downlosd Bob's commercialy available work. Go out and buy it. Copying copyrighted material is just WRONG.
If any Dylan fans want to get some links to where there is a never ending treasure trove of amazing Dylan stuff, FreepMail me.
FWIW, a Christian rocker back then named Larry Norman did a great Dylan parody song. I think it was called "I'm Only Visiting This Planet." He sounded almost exactly like Dylan. Some of the lyrics, I never forgot.
"This time, last year, people didn't wanna hear
They looked at Jesus from afar
This year he's a Superstar..."
"The Beatles said all you need is love
And then they broke up..."
Good stuff, i may have to see if that recording is still out there.
And that tour ended in May. The "Never Ending Tour" shall resume in another month, mostly in Canada, but kicking off from Newport.
Yes, but a Jew. So Larry finds a site, reads stuff like
The student rebellion of the late 1960s and early 1970s in the United States and France was also mainly an expression of Jewish radicalism. Emma Goldman, the Jewish anarchist of the early twentieth century, known for her analysis of sexual repression in the context of the theories of Sigmund Freud and Wilhelm Reich, is undoubtedly the mother of the anarchist movements and of the 1960s slogan “Make love, not war.” In the 1950s the bridge between Goldman’s anarchism and the coming student rebellion was Abraham Maslow, a leftist radical who developed his own version of psychoanalysis that he termed “humanistic psychology”. Maslow is the philosopher of communal living and the spiritual father of Abraham (Abbie) Hoffman, Betty Friedan, Lenny Bruce (Leonard Schneider), Bob Dylan (Zimmerman), and Jerry Rubin – to mention only some of the Jews who were leaders of the student rebellion at that time.
and his white supremecist mind goes Jew, Jew, Jew, they're all the same, and he posts nonsense.
Thanks for the facts, they're lost on LL though.
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
BTW, Dylan's never performed "Neighborhood Bully" live.
