I gave this song a solid 7 then read the lyrics.  Now it's an 8 leaning toward 9.

People are crazy and times are strange
I’m locked in tight, I’m out of range
I used to care, but things have changed

This is how Dylan describes the final days of these times. We live in a crazy world. It is unbelievable, it’s strange but true. We live in times where man commits crime and crime don’t have a face. He is locked in tight. He does not feel at ease at all in this world where the hatred never ends and yet there is no escape. He feels like a prisoner in a world full of mystery, like a stranger in a strange land, out of range like a spaceship way out of its orbit.

I'm not real interested in who likes Dylan and who doesn't.  That debates been going on for approaching 50 years!  That said, very few folks would come up with lines that warm my heart like:

Feel like falling in love with the first woman I meet
Putting her in a wheelbarrow and wheeling her down the street

You go, Bobby!

Dylan is just so hot right now. Yeah rough voice but lyrics incredible. Cohen also, it's not an either or situation, both are incredible. I call Dylans latest works Roadhouse music, most off it is based on dance rhythms that's why my foot taps so much.

Was the film any good? My brother knew Michael Chabon at CMU and I've often wondered whether Wonder Boys was worth reading. "Mysteries of Pittsburgh" was, from my limited and indirect knowledge of that time and place, spot on...but then I heard too many stories about Chabon being an absolute jerk that I didn't want to read more of his stuff. And the premise of "Kavalier and Klay" sounded completely idiotic. 

A good Dylan song..."I used to care, but things have changed." Yeah, know that feeling.

It's nice to hear Bob Dylan returning to his blues/folk roots, and that his voice has become deeper and more tuneful. He really is a cracking blues artist. 8 from the foot-tappin' back-to-basics shit-kicking Nottingham jury.

I used to care, but . . . things have changed

I think this is one of Bob's best, if overlooked, tunes.
btw, there's a great video for this song on the deluxe edition of Modern Times.

Watched "Walk Hard - The Dewey Cox Story" last night.  The parodies of Dylan songs when Dewey was in his "Dylan phase" are utterly hilarious.
 
Those of you who aren't Dylan fans will like it.  Those of us who are, and aren't sensitive about it, will like it as well.

"I used to care, but things have changed."  Brilliant!

And for those who may not have noticed, when he says "The next 60 seconds will feel like an eternity" he is counting down the remaining time in the song as there are indeed only 60 seconds left.

Im sure I'm not alone in believing that Dylan is a great singer. His phrasing and timing always amazes me. I am knocked out by his intonation. Personally, I have never understood why people whinge about the sound of his voice, but I'm not sure that the sound of his voice and his ability as a singer are the same thing...

Couldn't agree with you more, Paul.  If I picked up a 64 Strat and played a few songs, and then Mark Knopfler picked up a Mexican Squire and played a couple - gee I wonder who is going to sound better?

Bottom line - the quality of the instrument has little relationship to how well it can be played.

 
Cheers to you both! It's nice to hear a thoughtful comment on Zimmy's stuff. Breath of fresh air, that is. Thanks

Just goes to show that some things haven't changed.  I've seen Dylan live twice, couldn't recognize a single song.  Still love his work, though.

Im a worried man, got a worried mind
No one in front of me, no one behind
Theres a woman on my lap and shes drinking champagne.
Got white skin, got assassins eyes
Im looking up into the sapphire tinted skies
Im well dressed, waiting on the last train.
Standin on the gallows with my head in a noose
Any minute now Im expectin all hell to break loose.
People are crazy and times are strange
Im locked in tight, Im outta range
I used to care, but things have changed.

This place aint doing me any good
Im in the wrong town, I should be in hollywood
Just for a second there I thought I saw something move
Gonna take dancing lessons do the jitterbug rag
Aint no shortcuts, gonna dress in drag
Only a fool in here would think hes got anything to prove.
Lot of water under the bridge, lot of other stuff too
Dont get up gentlemen, Im only, Im only passing through.
People are crazy, times are strange
Im locked in tight, Im out of range
I used to care, but things have changed

Ive been walking forty miles of bad road
If the Bible is right, the world will explode
Im trying to get as far away from myself as I can.
Things are too hot to touch
The human mind can only stand so much
You cant win with a losin hand.
Feel like fallin in love with the first woman I meet
Puttin her in a wheel barrow, wheelin her down the street.
People are crazy, times are strange
Im locked in tight, Im out of range
I used to care, but things have changed.

I hurt easy, I just dont show it
You can hurt someone and not even know it
The next sixty seconds could be like an eternity.
Gonna get low down, gonna fly high
All the truth in the world adds up to one big lie
Im in love with a woman that dont even appeal to me.
Mr. jinx and miss lucy, they, they jumped in the lake
Im not that eager, not that eager to make a mistake.
People are crazy, times are strange
Im locked in tight, Im outta range

I used to care, but things have changed.

 Paul Simon called Bob Dylan the greatest song-writer of all time. Now that's a hell'ava compliment, but Dylan
is an icon... I love "Modern Times" can't stop spinning that CD. He was great on Wilbury's I and II.
I guess I'm just Tangled Up in Blue. If his "Watchtower" doesn't reflect these times, I don't know what song would.
Thanks for almost 50 years of great music Mr. Zimmerman ..thanks very much..
