| Yeah, man, only two comments on one of the greatst songs of all time? A grave injustice. | |
| Bob Dylan – Blowin' in the Wind Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| Dylan is truely a GOD, and this song proves it. The hippie anthem of the 60's, this song simply expresses an ideal of perfection - forgiveness, and most importantly of all, acceptness. I first heard this song in my car, listening to a tape freshly stolen from my father, "Bob Dylan's Greatest hits volume 1", and it truely changed my existence on this planet. Cannonballs should be forever banned, and killing in any form (including the death penalty) should be forever banned, and it it isn't, we should all cry "like a fire in the sun". Please stop killing, stop injustice, stop religion. I beg of you to stop the carpet that is moving under you. The vagabond who is rapping at your door, is standing in the clothes that you once wore. Strike another match and start anew, it's all over now baby blue. Forgive me, I'm drunk. Anyway, to continue with my contrived drunkended ramblings, I love Sabrina, so fucking much. Oh God, please help me, please make me fall out of love with her. Make promises by the hour, my love she laughs like the flowers, my love she laughs like the flowers, valentines can't buy her. There's no sucess like failure, and that failure's no sucess at all. Even the pawn must hold a grudge. My love winks, she doen't bother, she knows too much to argue or to judge. The wind howls like a hammer, the night blows cold and rainy. My love she's like some raven at my window with a broken wing. | |

Disgusting Christianity, ugh! I know that some people have to explore their spirituality, but did he have to make three albums about it? Christ, that was a huge fucking waste of poetic talent! Sincerely, A disgruntled agnostic |

| Bob Dylan – Ballad of Hollis Brown Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| Oh, the depression of poverty. I disease which could easily be cured by modern soceity. So depressing, isn't it? "Wait only for my bootheels to be wanderin'" | |
| Bob Dylan – Abandoned Love Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| I wish he would have included this on either "Blood on the Tracks" or "Desire", it would have really helped "Desire". | |
| Bob Dylan – Abandoned Love Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| Oh, I love biograph. I downloaded this song, and loved it right away. "I've been decieved by the clown inside of me...", don't we all have a clown inside of us, a decieving clown? It's amazing, I play it all the time. | |

| Anyone know where I can find a copy of CJ Fish at Woodstock? | |
| Bob Dylan – Meet Me in the Morning Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| Absolutely flawless blues from Dylan, an underappreciated song. | |
| Bob Dylan – Masters of War Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| If songs like this were being written today, Bush might find it more difficult to invade countries without reason... | |
| Bob Dylan – Man Gave Names to All the Animals Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| I've heard that Dylan described this as a children's song...though that doesn't stop it from being the worst song he's ever written. | |
| Bob Dylan – Desolation Row Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
I thought this was interesting, in an interview for Playboy magazine in '66, when asked what he would do if elected president, Dylan replied that he would "immediately rewrite 'The Star Spangled Banner', and little school children, instead of memorizing'"America the Beautiful' would have to memorize 'Desolation Row.'" Also, this song might have been influenced by Kerouac's 1965 novel "Desolation Angels", which contains the phrases "perfect image of a priest" and "her sin is her lifelessness". The first line, i've discovered, is a reference to a hanging of three Black men in Duluth, Minnesota (Dylan's home town) in 1920. In order to keep the memory of the event alive, "postcards of the hanging" were sold in Duluth. |

| Bob Dylan – Absolutely Sweet Marie Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| My favorite line, "To live outside the law you must be honest." Great song from my favorite Dylan album. | |
| Bob Dylan – A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| Dylan based the song on a traditional called "Lord Randall." The similarities of the lyrics, "Oh, where have you been, Lord Randall, my son? and where have you been, my handsome young man?/ I have been at the greenwood, mother, make my bed soon/For I'm wearied withe hunting, and fain was lie down" are easily seen in Dylan's version. Great song. | |
| Bob Dylan – It Ain't Me Babe Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| I'd always considered this as Dylan's final farewell to folk music (Dylan to the folkies: "It ain't me babe, it ain't me you're lookin' for, babe", but I like the anti-war theory. | |
| Bob Dylan – John Brown Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| Though this song was written in the early sixties, Dylan first performed it on 1993's MTV Unplugged Concert. It's a great song, and Dylan's performance was amazing. Pick up the cd or dvd if you don't have it, sony music store has the cd for 9 bucks and the dvd for 12. | |
| Bob Dylan – My Back Pages Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| Neil Young was one of the others... | |
| Bob Dylan – All I Really Want to Do Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| This song is about the pursuit of simple friendship, free from the complexities of love, family, politics, and judgement...maybe. | |
| Bob Dylan – I Shall Be Released Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
I agree that the anti-death penalty theme is fairly prevalent in this song, but i've failed to grasp the line, "Yet I swear I see my reflection Some place so high above this wall." |
|
| Bob Dylan – Maggie's Farm Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| "Maggie's Farm" was first released on 1965's "Bringing it all Back Home", so i'm unsure about the Thatcher theory. I think montresor's theory is most likely...'65 was the year Dylan went electric. | |
