OF THE
TIMES
Have we passed 'Peak Irony' yet?Yeah, on the way west out of Kansas. It was that big mofo in Utah . . .
Absolutely love early Dylan.Different tastes mate, in over 50 years of record buying I've never come even close to buying one of his.
Well, John the Baptist after torturing a thiefI think of men like General Milley. Or Bush, Jr. In fact, most American politicians and military men. Song also speaks to people like Julian Assange who expose the Great American Myth as drone jockey-stick men laughing as they gun down innocent people, including children, with men they assumed were "terrorists"...but, unfortunately, were simple news reporters. Because the truth is...a normal person involved in these acts does look for "a hole to get sick in."
Looks up at his hero the Commander-in-Chief
Saying, "Tell me great hero, but please make it brief
Is there a hole for me to get sick in?"
The Commander-in-Chief answers him while chasing a fly
Saying, "Death to all those who would whimper and cry."
And dropping a bar bell he points to the sky
Saying, "The sun's not yellow it's chicken."
My Back Pages; Bob Dylan ; [Link](Granted, he has never been much for using bridges, etc. Also, James Taylor he ain't. )
[Verse 1]; ; Crimson flames tied through my ears; Rolling high and mighty traps; Pounced with fire on flaming roads; Using ideas as my maps; “We’ll meet on edges, soon,” said I; Proud 'neath heated brow
[Refrain]; Ah, but I was so much older then; I’m younger than that now
[Verse 2]; Half-wracked prejudice leaped forth; “ Rip down all hate,” I screamed; Lies that life is black and white; Spoke from my skull, I dreamed; Romantic facts of musketeers; Foundationed deep, somehow
[Verse 3]; Girls’ faces formed the forward path; From phony jealousy; To memorizing politics; Of ancient history; Flung down by corpse evangelists; Un-thought of, though, somehow [Refrain];
[Verse 4]; A self-ordained professor’s tongue; Too serious to fool; Spouted out that liberty; Is just equality in school; “Equality,” I spoke their word; As if a wedding vow [Refrain];
[Verse 5]; In a soldier’s stance, I aimed my hand; At the mongrel dogs who teach; Fearing not that I’d become my enemy; In the instant that I preach; My existence led by confusion boats; Mutiny from stern to bow [Refrain];
[Verse 6]; Yes, my guard stood hard when abstract threats; Too noble to neglect; Deceived me into thinking; I had something to protect; Good and bad, I defined these terms; Quite clear, no doubt, somehow
[Refrain]; Ah, but I was so much older then; I’m younger than that now;
Another frustrated bitch that needs new batteries for her vibrator.I hear DuraCell has a new line for sex toys, instead of keeping on going they just keep on coming . . . :-)
Not even with a face diaper, covered with a Burka topped off by a Level 4 Bio-hazard suitAs a first cut at not bein' there . . . :-)
'only woman can deliver peace'Due to their physical disadvantages and their lower testosterone level (at least then ...), women used to avoid direct physical confrontations, and resort to intrigue and poisoning. History is rife with examples.
What kind of peace
are weis she talking about ?What is she going to do.
I don't want to think about it.
Gonna buy a pile of sand to burry my head in.
Fuck.
