don't look back

"you dont need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows"


some folks just will not be a dancing bear for any reason. some folks just plain arent interested. some folks would rather get on with it and make a sound that feels right with a reason to make it without any more reason than that. and some folks would rather not have to say a howdyfreakindo to the folks who are all about the dancing bear thing and the simpleminded game of things but just get on with the singin. its hard enough just to get the song right without having to bother about irrelevant shenanigans and whatnot.

and just about when folks are thinkin they could hang you up like a sunday suit on their pinned hopes and plans and what youll do for em, you whip out the electric and change it up so's everybody can see, whether they like it or not. i thought it made great sense that dylan went electric, right when he did.

it'll drive you crazy if youve got nuthin to say, and crazy if you do, so what's the damn difference? but i can tell you this: if you have something to say, best say it. it makes the whole day pass better and you'll outlast storms you never thought in this world you'd see.


"you who philosophize disgrace and criticize all fears, take that rag away from your face cause now's not the time for your tears"


i never really heard bob dylan's recordings before about two years ago. i did know the twenty-odd  verses to songs he'd written only cause my dad sang em when i was little and so we sang em too.
