Many people don't really "listen" all that well to music....to the average person, Bob Dylan Seems to be mumbling....but I think that's the unique part...its not really a mumbling, but he's more giving it an artistic feel. It is so cool to hear him do his songs that he wrote for other artists that became so popular...Bob gives them all a differnt meaning. Did you hear the new album? Awesome blues folk rock mix. Timeless!

It sounds like you like your friend. It is my experience that when I have that doubt voice (fear gut feeling etc.), it is either because I'm insecure or the gut feeling is true. Picture what your heart is telling you on one side of a see saw and your negative gut feeling on the other. Try to balance them out. If the bad gut feeling (that he's lying) outways your other feelings, then your either really insecure or this guy is a big lier. \n\nEx. 1) Ex gilfriend for 4 years. I had a feeling that she would cheat on me, and she eventually did.\n\nEx. 2) I had a gut feeling that my singer in past band would steal my songs and take the credit for my work. This was the worst ever. My stupidity wanted to think everything was allright even though I had an unexplainable bad vibe from day one. This guy was the biggest piece of trash I've ever known.

I would have to know what this is from and who wrote it.  If it is the lyrics to some song, I would say don't let young children hear it.  If it is the poetry of someone older and more mature expressing pain of life, that's okay.  If this has been written by some teenager or young person who is suffering, I would worry.  Yes, it is beautiful and a true sign of amazing talent and use of imagery and words, but it could signify a cry for help.  Hope someone is listening.

hi-- you ask some good questions.  After 9/11 and all that sadness, people still need to hope and have fun and remember that life can be good.  So, no, good songs are never "wrong". Art and music enrich our lives and speak to our hearts!! Keep thinking and wondering and asking!

Bob Dylan is the greatest Singer/Songwritter ever. Period.  From Hibbing Minnesota, Bobs real Last name is Zimmerman.He changed his name to Dylan to honor Dylan Thomas (poet)\nHe is the greatest and the world of folk rock owes him a debt of grattiude for his works

I remember when I was in high school listening to rock music and my parents had the same complaint.\n\nIt's not the music style - it's the need to create a sense of personal space, an impenetrable environment.\n\nI admit, I'd rather hear ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE at a zillion decibels than lyrics about dismembering women - but what's going on here IMHO, is more about the people who feel they have to assert to create their space in the environment.\n\nI'll share a little secret - when a Beatles song comes on the car radio.  I roll up the windows, turn the sound up and sing along at the top of my lungs. <grin>

Bob Dylan wrote this when he was tripping on LSD during the days of the Viet Nam War. It seemed as if he was being pulled into the folding patterns of his bed spread and he couldn't tell up from down or left from right like a sort of "vertigo state" He was inspired to write this line into his music.

Unfortunately, people are prejudice against what they cannot understand. When people don't know how to help or understand something they make it a bad thing, so as to not feel bad themselves. It really is sad:( You are not stupid or crazy, you just think and feel differently. Some of the BEST artists in the world were and still are mentally ill. Van Gogh, Kurt Cobain, Justin Furstenfeld (Blue October) just to name a few:) Just keep you're chin up because you know you are great:)

It sounds like the person the songs about lost interest in the other and is too afraid to be straigt up about it ,When confronted just says i had a bad day.Possibly on drugs cuz doesnt seem to want to take any blame.He /she needs to escape reality for a while ,take a break from the other the wants the other to take em back when he / she gets straight again blaming it all on a bad day.  I dont know the song but alot of times if you hear it with music you get a feel for what the artist is trying to say .Hope this helps

No. We in the western hemisphere, I think, have been done a real disservice by not being exposed to people like Bach. Often lumped into the category of 'classical' - it really isn't. It's baroque. Too, it isn't played too often, and, for too long, what you hear are variations, adaptations, and pretty bad renderings generally. Fortunately, there are people like Trevor Pinnock ( Concertos for Cembali and strings ) who read the manuscript intent without projecting a personal agenda. All music has it's listeners, of course, but it's usually a developing process where you recognize it's quite close to your soul. Then you seek something more complete in it. Too much is exclusively visceral. That's my take on it, though. Other people might not feel the same way.

really bad public singing.

From what I understand, Bruce had no formal vocal training. \n\nBut singing in bars for years, in the smoke and noise, has to count for training of some sort!

"Bringing It All Back Home" Why?\nBecause it has the songs that  demonstrate Bob Dylan's unique   lyrical poetry and style. "Subterranean Homesick Blues", "It's Alright Ma (I'm Only Bleeding)", and "it's All Over Now, Baby Blue." are among the best of the best of Bob Dylan. These, and others like "Maggie's Farm" and "Bob Dylan's 115th dream",  and show how much of a visual artist Bob Dylan is as well as a musical one.

"Blowin' In The Wind" is a good song, although nowhere near Dylan's best (for me that would be either "Visions Of Johanna" or "Gates Of Eden") but even Bob himself writes "Blowin'" off as just a "song". He acknowldges its influence, but he has made comments to the effect that he's sorry he wrote it. "Dylan The King Of Protest Music" was a label even Dylan didn't take seriously...he was always a rock and roller at heart; he jumped on the "folkie/protest" bandwagon simply because it was fashionable at the time. Which explains why the diehard folkies freaked when he joined forces with The Band and put on electric concerts in 1966...these concerts singlehandedly marked the transition from "rock 'n' roll" to "Rock" as a serious musical genre.\nAnyone who has heard the version of "Blowin' In The Wind" on the "Before The Flood" double live album can tell that Dylan himself considers the song to be a crowd pleaser, nothing more. \nIn the end, when it's all written down, I think Dylan will be remembered for "Like A Rolling Stone" more than "Blowin' In The Wind." Overall, I think "Like A Rolling Stone" HAS had more of an impact. I mean, can you see Greil Marcus writing a full book analysis of "Blowin' In The Wind"? (he did for "L.A.R.S.") I doubt it. As hippie dippie as I admit I am, I think "Blowin' In The Wind" is terribly dated.

NOT DARK YET BY Bob Dylan. I don't know how you feel but I think it's more of a game if you know or quess the answer, instead of looking it up, or sending the lyrics.
