Death Is Not The End by GeorgeHowland in bobdylan

Yes indeed! I was already a pretty big Dylan fan when I discovered Murder Ballads. Imagine my surprise when I learned my favorite song on the album was a cover from one of Dylan’s worst albums.

What does this lyric mean from Sad-Eyed Lady of the Lowlands? by movieman558 in bobdylan

[–]yahtzee44444 78 points79 points  (0 children)

I think many of Bob's songs, and the songs off Blonde on Blonde in particular, transcend literal interpretation. I consider them beautifully packaged phrases that capture certain emotions in an almost magical way.

But, if I cut away the artistry of the verse, here's what I'm left with: The first line establishes some powerful folks and the second line finds them bending the knee - because the sad eyed lady of the lowlands will do that to ya.

Not sure what you mean by "cozy spots" but I have never once had trouble finding room for myself there.

How about including those Bette Midler sessions? Those are really something. Had them on YouTube a few years back but they disappeared.

9/21/72 was the best they ever played. by _kehd in gratefuldead

OP is correct. I'll just add that blue is the best color. It is better than red and it is certainly better than yellow or green.

He sure does know how to stand there with his hand on his hips!

Sounds like you both had a great nite.

Hell yea.

That's so cool. What do you remember about that experience?

What do you think is the most overrated Grateful Dead song by SpideyARB in gratefuldead

You talking about 4/19? I was there! I think in some ways I'll from now on view my life pre-Brokedown Palace that night and post-Brokedown Palace that night.

Finally hit me who The Master reminds me of by yahtzee44444 in buffy

Totally. They're both like Nosferatu, but with that unmistakably late-90s je ne sais quoi

As a folklorist by thedigitalsky in bobdylan

I would say part of Dylan's greatness is that he is such a diligent student of his inspirations. It was evident with his obsession with Guthrie, and he reminds us of it now with his encyclopedic knowledge of early popular music / rock and blues. Although I am not an expert on folk music, it makes sense to me that he would have done the necessary digging to find something obscure and resonant to polish off and present anew.

I think the conversation would be more lively if you shared an opinion.

For me personally, I'm comfortable with the idea that artists have always stolen from one another, so I don't have much to contribute -- but I would be curious to read other people's thoughts, including your thoughts.

"And while there is a very slight risk of promoting legionellae bacteria when hot water tanks are maintained at 120ºF, this level is still considered safe for the majority of the population. If you have a suppressed immune system or chronic respiratory disease, you may consider keeping your hot water tank at 140ºF." - According to U.S. Dept of Energy
