birdland Apr 27, 2013 - 09:42	allow me to cross post (please) Some context; Quoted from "The Saturday Evening Post" July 30, 1966 "This is Bob Dylan's year to be mobbed. Next year it will probably be somebody else. But this year Bob Dylan is the king of rock 'n' roll, and he is the least likely king popular music has ever seen. With a bony, nervous face covered with skin the color of sour milk, a fright-wig of curly brown hair teased into a bramble of stand-up tangles, and dark circled hazel eyses usually hidden by large sunglasses, Dylan is less like Elvis or Frankie than like some crippled saint or resurrected Beethoven. The songs he writes and sings, unlike the usual young-love pap of the airwaves, are full of dark and, many insist, important meaning; they are peopled with freaks, clowns, tramps, artists and mad scientists, dancing and tumbling in progressions of visionary images mobilized to the massive beat of rock 'n' roll. They often make very little logical sense, but almost always they make very good poetic sense. According to a recent poll, college students call him the most important contemporary poet in America." And no-one can ram context down anothers throat, but nonetheless there is a reason for all this "Dylan Worship". It comes from appreciation of his unique talent, then and now. [ Reply ]

I was there with my cameras. The backups stayed around and practised for Highway 61. I left with a groupy girl waiting outside who gave me the clap. Man, I wanna party with you ! No doubt she inspired you to write "Always Something There to Remind Me." I think Al Kooper confessed in an interview with Terry Gross that he had no fuckin' idea what he was doing on the organ and everybody but Dylan wanted him out. IIRC he showed up hoping to play guitar for the album, but Mike Bloomfield's playing put that idea on the shelf toot sweet. [ Reply ]

I echo this sentiment. He's always worth listening to, IMO. Not sure why there is such hatred of Dylan on RP. [ Reply ]

The song's lyrics describe a nightmare vision of the narrator's experience in Juarez , Mexico, in which he encounters sickness, despair, prostitutes, saints, shady women, corrupt authorities, alcohol and drugs, before finally deciding to return to New York City. The lyrics incorporate literary references to Malcolm Lowry 's Under the Volcano , Edgar Allan Poe 's " The Murders in the Rue Morgue " and Jack Kerouac 's Desolation Angels , while the song's title references Arthur Rimbaud 's "My Bohemian Life (Fantasy)". Good grief. I bet the prostitutes, saints, shady women and corrupt authorities could all of written about their nightmare vision of meeting the whiny narrator and how he just droned on and on, and on, and on...

If you're gonna quibble over "#1", go with "a major" influence. As for Ringo, he was marching to the beat of a different drummer. (And yes, I love the Beatles!)
