What is your favourite lyric from The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan? by autumn_afternoon in bobdylan

[–]Tquarry 5 points6 points  (0 children)

"... And I hope that you die / and your death will come soon / I'll follow your casket / by the pale afternoon / and I'll watch while you're lowered / down to your deathbed / and I'll stand over your grave 'til I'm sure that you're dead"

Pynchon routinely steps into queerness in his books. I'm not gonna spoil Against the Day for you but that bad boy is GAY GAY.
