The confusion greeted by Dylan's Christian-music album was nothing compared to the furor that arose when Dylan went electric. Wish that had been touched upon in the bio.
Welcome to the TV.com Forums for Bob Dylan. Here is your area to discuss, dissect and debate all things about this person.
Don and Pete’s escalating battle heats up, as does Joan and Roger’s affair. Betty continues her journey toward disillusionment and subsequent icequeendom, nudged along by a perverted little boy next door. Don's mysterious past begins to reveal itself. And Peggy, awesome Peggy, gets her first big break.
The best of this week's web to help the afternoon glide smoothly by.
What to say about bob Dylan. I think that he was one of the most controversial artist of all time. With his music stemming about poltical view, about our world and much more. He changed the standard for music we call "folk rock", even if he didn't considered him self as a folk singer. He had and still have many hits. My favorite song from him is Mr. tamborine man and Don't think twice, Its alright. Those songs i can relate to the most. When you listen to dylan's lyrics it just speaks out to you. Then you start to understand a little bit of how his mind works. For me the all time best.
I think that "The Times, They Are A Changin'" is Bob Dylan's best song. I like his earlier sixties songs the best (Blowin' In the Wind; Mr. Tambourine Man; Like a Rolling Stone; All Along the Watchtower), his seventies songs were pretty good (Knockin' on Heaven's Door; Tangled Up in Blue; Hurricane), his eighties songs weren't very good (Jokerman) and he went through his reborn Christian phase (which sucked), but he came out of his rut with his album "Modern Times." Now I wish Eric Clapton would come out of his musical drought.
Johnny's in the basement
Mixing up the medicine
I'm on the pavement
Thinking about the government
The man in the trench coat
Badge out, laid off
Says he's got a bad cough
Wants to get it paid off
Look out kid
It's somethin' you did
God knows when
But you're doin' it again
You better duck down the alley way
Lookin' for a new friend
The man in the coon-skin cap
In the big pen
Wants eleven dollar bills
You only got ten
Maggie comes fleet foot
Face full of black soot
Talkin' that the heat put
Plants in the bed but
The phone's tapped anyway
Maggie says that many say
They must bust in early May
Orders from the D. A.
Look out kid
Don't matter what you did
Walk on your tip toes
Don't try "No Doz"
Better stay away from those
That carry around a fire hose
Keep a clean nose
Watch the plain clothes
You don't need a weather man
To know which way the wind blows
Get sick, get well
Hang around a ink well
Ring bell, hard to tell
If anything is goin' to sell
Try hard, get barred
Get back, write braille
Get jailed, jump bail
Join the army, if you fail
Look out kid
You're gonna get hit
But users, cheaters
Six-time losers
Hang around the theaters
Girl by the whirlpool
Lookin' for a new fool
Don't follow leaders
Watch the parkin' meters
Ah get born, keep warm
Short pants, romance, learn to dance
Get dressed, get blessed
Try to be a success
Please her, please him, buy gifts
Don't steal, don't lift
Twenty years of schoolin'
And they put you on the day shift
Look out kid
They keep it all hid
Better jump down a manhole
Light yourself a candle
Don't wear sandals
Try to avoid the scandals
Don't wanna be a bum
You better chew gum
The pump don't work
'Cause the vandals took the handles
When i first listened to Bob Dylan I thought to my self why is this guy recording music while being strangled to death. That being said Bob Dylan and his music has grown on me over the years, even his newer stuff is pretty good, I never listen to his religious stuff though. My favorite song by Bob Dylan would have to be Hurricane, that song just has a great real story behind it, and to this day it is one of my top favorite songs of all time. I hope Bob Dylan is with us for years and keeps making great music.
