Can't buy a thrill
Well, I've been up all night, baby
Leanin' on the windowsill
Well, if I die
On top of the hill
And if I don't make it
You know my baby will
Don't the moon look good, mama
Shinin' through the trees?
Don't the brakeman look good, mama
Flagging down the "Double E?"
Don't the sun look good
Goin' down over the sea?
Don't my gal look fine
When she's comin' after me?
Now the wintertime is coming
The windows are filled with frost
I went to tell everybody
But I could not get across
Well, I wanna be your lover, baby
I don't wanna be your boss
Don't say I never warned you
When your train gets lost

... literature prizes they do not deserve ... Worth noting that Dylan
didn't return the calls from the Nobel committee because he thought
someone was taking the piss. He didn't think he should be getting it
either. But there you go.
This song is pure torture to listen to. There is something horribly wrong with this mans voice, and somehow he makes his vocal vomit bleed through into a harmonica. Surely they play this in gitmo.
Repent fool. Pray for forgiveness.
Better let Bob know. I'm sure he'll change his style.
Wow, "vomiting into the haromonica".
I guess that might be funny if you were 9 years old and not very bright, but probably not even then.
I prefer AC/DC or Metallica or else, anytime. At least those guys are true, living their lifes for music with no literature "prizes" they do not deserve. It would be like if you are a painter you can accept a title for sculpture. U.S. lost a war with an "artist" like this. Sorry if i'm not too eclectic. That would be my mistake.
In the year 3000, no one will remember from Nixon, De Gaule, Merkel, Obama and wars that they led nor why they led those. But when someone will speak about Dylan, he will say, "You know that great american singer and poet!"l
Please, speak only about music , let the world outside and don't spoil my breakfeast!

"Bla bla bla" (sic) is right.
Now run along and listen to your AC/DC; much better suited to your tastes.

PS: Not so great harmonica playing RomeoT, don't mind it though.

Toots Thielemans was the best (melodic) harmonica player by far. You forgot Stevie Wonder and Jerry Murad too. Of course, they all played chromatic harmonicas, not the diatonic varieties very often.
I'm sure you would have done a better job than Trump the Chump.
Clearly the music and lyrics are an important part of american culture, but my god, that voice could kill a dead man twice again and make it hurt twice as bad. He should never have been allowed near a recording device.

Maybe my favorite lyric of any song written

That's some tough crowd if Musselwhite can't crack the top ten. I'd add Norton Buffalo, John Mayall, and John Popper.

"Watchtower" was not a cover. "All Along the Watchtower" is a song written and recorded by the

(However, Dylan did cover two songs by the Mississippi Sheiks )
I assume tkosh was referring to the Hendrix cover of Watchtower(?).

Wow...sorry, but just couldn't disagree more (except for the last comment). The thing about Dylan is that he's the package. It's all of it. He sings very little that he hasn't lived through-and-through——whether he wrote it or not (of course he wrote most). Some Dylan covers are nice, some even great (Watchtower), but for the most part only Dylan can do Dylan with what he brings. And so many have also lived much of it through-and-through, and that's a connection. Finger on the pulse—whatever you want to call it...at least that's why Dylan gripped me for so many years.
Someday you will grow up.

On that, good Sir, we agree.
Too right it wouldn't be the same - it would be infinitely better. Then, if you added someone who could actually sing...
I just don't understand the logic above - "I can do one thing really well, therefore you should ignore everything I do really badly". This is the same sort of thinking that makes vapid actors thought gurus.
Wish my job (world) worked like that... for me, that is.
You clearly have no idea what constitutes good singing. Dylan is a highly unconventional singer, but a damn good one.

Perhaps that's a measure of Dylan's impact, indeed his genius. I love the Kooper/Stills version on Super Session. I also prefer The Byrds' version of "Mr. Tambourine Man" and Jimi's of "All Along the Watchtower," both classics by any definition.

Indeed.
Enough already - the last three times I've turned on RP it's been to get blasted by his Bobness and the bloody harmonica. I really don't care about the 'poetry' - when I listen to music it's for the...oh yeah... music. If I want poetry I'll read a book.

Maybe focus in on the lyrics, ignoring the vocals (for now). "Tangled Up In Blue" is a good one to dig in to. "Senor" is an enigmatic favorite of mine. Or "License To Kill". Really, there are just too many to mention. Eventually you will realize the genius that lies within.
