My English wasn't good enough back then so I needed such help to understand them fully. I remember I didn't need much time to realize that this guy was not only singing about something but that he was also simply brilliant at that! Had no idea years later some guys in Sweden will come to a similar conclusion! While I am a big fan of Bob Dylan and have been for sixty years, I can tell you that there are a lot of native English speakers who don't understand his lyrics, fully or otherwise.

If being understood by the masses were the test for greatness, many of the finest artists in virtually every field would be ignored. 🙂 sphinxsix 1 "Relax, it's only hi-fi.

Allan F Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 A most beautiful cover of a beautiful Bob Dylan song, all 11+ minutes of it. From Any Day Now, Joan Baez' 1968 album of 16 exclusively Dylan songs. sphinxsix 1 "Relax, it's only hi-fi.
