Yeah...that's why they give Nobel Prizes.
Noble Smiley (Her)
Every time.
Time to take road trip to Alpine Valley in WI in Sep to see his last US show.
The next day,
I will say
Bon Voyage Bob,
Then corn on the cob.
Canât think of a better description of this classic that only gets better every time I listen đ
Stunning! I think this will hold up for a very long time!
Half a century already, and still sounding fresh as morning dew.
"(artist name) sucks", "YOU suck", "No, YOU suck" . . . and so on.
Pissing contests for cretins.
Then someone fills an entire page by repeating a single emoticon ad nauseam, thus bumping all the actual song comments off the board; very intelligent.
Or we get the geniuses who post the same moronic negative comment on EVERY single U2 or Beck song.
I don't have a problem with negative comments per se. Obviously everyone has their own tastes.
It's just the trolls and morons who are wearing me down.
Seems to me it's worse than it's ever been.
And yes, occasionally I take the bait and insult someone, but I try to avoid the temptation.
I'm slowly and reluctantly losing interest in reading posts.
Thankfully most members still write intelligent comments, positive and negative.
And of course the music is still worth listening to . . . especially Bob. ; )
OK, rant over.
Put all that to music and you have a hit.
I prefer the version on The Bootleg Series Volumes 1â3 (Rare and Unreleased)
Dylanâs catalog is so deep & rich itâs hard to say whatâs âbestâ, but this one is on my Top 5 list. I go back to 1964 as a fan & later as a musician who covers him in my modest way.
I agree. My favourite is still Desolation Row (the 1965 version from Highway 61 Revisited). I could listen to it all day and occasionally do, especially in the car.
Same song over and over and over and over. Sad! Donât care if you think itâs the best song ever or the worst. Repetition kills, unless of course your a child
Uh oh! What you got against monks chanting. Or prayers. Or some aspects of TM and yoga.
Or some of the greatest jazz players like Coltrane and Miles who were masters
at repeating themes in a song to create some mesmerizing moods.
The genius of Dylan is illustrated by this piece. I don't know anything about writing a song, but there is very little about this one that seems to fit within the standard approach. Yet, he created an absolute masterpiece. Somehow, he weaves a meaningful tale from disparate fragments of lives and generates art that will outlive us all (I presume). This piece never gets old for me, although I do (or so it seems).
actually from a songwriting perspective it doesn't fit the standard approach.. at all.. it's just all verses.. verse after verse... there's no chorus, there's no bridge.. literally the only line repeated is the title "tangled up in blue".
yet it's just one of the most poignant and brilliant song/poems ever written.
Sir Bob is touring big time through the Midwest. How and why he does it...who knows.
Gonna see him in Sioux City and maybe in WI and/or Peoria.
It's a Spring road trip baby. I'll be reborn, just like a teenager.
"I don't what they do with their lives
But me, I'm still on the road
Heading for another joint
We always did feel the same
We just saw it from a different point of view
Tangled up in blue"
Nonsense. Their voices are too pleasant and bland for this song, Bob wrote this while going through his divorce. The longing and anguish can be heard in his voice.
100%.
The Indigo Girls cover of this song is SO MUCH BETTER.

yeah, STFU. The only reason it is a cover is because those that "cover" pay respect to the original.
Like Jeff Beck and Leonard Cohen? Sometimes (not necessarily this case) the cover is the improvement that defines the song....
Subjectively....

You may want to reconsider them words.

Posted 10 years ago, and nothing has changed!
Love the song, but was always confused a bit by it. Is it the same woman through all the verses? He married her, they ran away out West, broke up, then years later find each other again in Louisiana?
My interpretation, and those shared by professors of literature I've read, it's a montage of different scenarios of life and relationships. Interpreting them as just one long story of a single person doesn't make sense from the lyrics, at least to me.

I assume so. there's another man involved in part of it though "I lived with them on Montague St.."
some songs strike a chord so loud it resonates in our very bones all of the rest of our lives.
this is one. 11^infinity
"So now I'm going back again
I got to get her somehow
All the people we used to know
They're an illusion to me now

But me, I'm still on the road

Yeah...that's why they give Nobel Prizes.
Yup. Nobel Prize for Literature includes poetry. But this has nothing on 'Desolation Row' IMHO.
Just some thoughts.
I've been listening to Bob for some 45 years or so and have heard every complaint about him that there is and have yet to find one that is justified. If you don't like his voice, his music or him as a person, then just move past the song and find something you do like. Those of us that have grown up listening to him completely understand what a special gift we've been given. My brother always said he was a fan and in turns out he was a fan of a particular album, which was fine but myself, I would hate to think that I would be have such limited access to the genius that is Bob Dylan. There will never be another one like Bob and I treasure the gift of his music and always will. Thank you Brother Bob. (He'd probably say "Don't think twice, it's Alright") Peace.
I swear you have made me cry, you are so right.
Canât believe the average rating is just 8. If this isnât God-like then what could possibly be?
This guy must be a genius. But I ain't biased.
going on the road to see dear bob in KC, STL, and maybe CHI in Oct 2023
great venues: theatres and opera houses that makes a person want to sing
PSD!
My Father In Law (Bill Berg) is the drummer on this album! UFB talented and humble artist!
I always loved this song. Had no idea why. I just always did. He never told me about any of it until I had known him for several tears! Go figureâŚ
that's pretty cool!

I had a job in the great north woods
Working as a cook for a spell
But I never did like it all that much
And one day the axe just fell
"
Sometimes Bob likes to mess with our heads.
Even after all these years, I still hear moments that make me think "Ah! I see what you did there!"
Quite a piece of work.
Pretty sure I've always listened to this song all the way to end every time Probably always will.
probably my favorite Dylan song, and maybe my favorite OVERALL song. I never tire of listening to this.
What is wrong with me?
I feel the same way about this song as you do, and I reckon there's nothing at all wrong with you.
That is, is it a profile mugshot (static)?
Or is he headed somewhere (dynamic)?
Oh my...these questions to ponder. Like Mona Lisa...smiling or not?
Sounds as good now as it did back then

Uh oh. I think the neighbors saw me. They may call the police. It goes back to a "fireworks" incident. Some people never learn.
Except for Brother Bob.
This is song to celebrate the new year in early Jan 2023.
I get it now.
After looking at lyrics (not familiar with english): it's a 10 for me.
its the Thanksgiving holiday
we should all be thankful that we can listen to brother bob on radio paradise
paradise is not lost
Shame he has repeatedly disappointed in concerts over the last 20 yrs, stick to the studio Bob and don't waste hard earned money just to say we've seen you
ohhhhh quit being silly
How many a year has passed and gone?
Many a gamble has been lost and won.
And many a road taken by many a first friend.
And each one I've never seen again.
I wish, I wish, I wish in vain.
That we could sit simply in that room again.
Ten thousand dollars at the drop of a hat,
I'd give it all gladly if our lives could be like that.
Yeah....that's why they give Nobel prizes.
I get tears in my eyes every time I hear this song. The older you get the more it means. Genius.
probably my favorite Dylan song, and maybe my favorite OVERALL song. I never tire of listening to this.
What is wrong with me?
I must admit, I felt a little uneasy when she bent down to tie the laces of my shoes. - I'm not a huge Dylan fan, but that is one of my favorite lines of any song.

Not a 10 for me but only because it's not my favorite Dylan song.
Ooooh.
A song for the Easter holiday!
We should spend some time thinking about forgiveness and resurrection.

But every sentence he writes speaks volumes. Even in interviews every answer he gives leaves you with more insight and followup questions.
An absolutely brilliant man. It was an honor to have seen him live.

we all have things to be grateful for
it immediately takes me to an old smoked filled donut shop in the heat of summer with buzzing flies around and diesel smell creeping up my nostrils
Good god...what sort of dystopian donut shop was this? Diesel, old smoke and flies...I'll betcha business wasn't very brisk...
Not bad for someone that was quoted once saying... " All I really wanted to do was write a song."
please stop playing Dylan, itâs painful, my ears canât take any more. He canât sing.
Listen to some more Britney.
I heard he's pretty terrible live, and who wouldn't be after touring almost half their life.
But that aside, Covid is FAR from over, and the only way Bob could pull that off would be to allow only vaccinated people to attend any concerts, otherwise it would be dangerous and irresponsible.
oh pooo
Hey brother Bob.
Covid is over.
Time to tour this Summer.
Outdoor venues. Like southern baptist tent revivals. Spritualism. Music, Hot and sweaty.
Sing on Brother Bob.

Then again, I cannot envision this song being sung by anyone but Dylan. Can you?
So if song is meant to have an impact on the listener his has done the job. Tangled up in Blue indeed.

He's telling a story, so those verses are necessary, you know, to finish the story. And what do you mean "for Dylan"? I can't think of another singer who could write this. Can you?
A characteristic not unique to this example of Dylan's music. Heh.

Still waiting.
That makes me uneasy.
It's an amazing song, but someone with a decent voice would just catapult it into Best-Ever status. Like KT Tunstall (seriously click the YouTube link it is SO WORTH IT).
They let you play a song this long?
It's Gabriola Island - anything goes.
