Great live version , one of the most important Dylan's lyrics
Of course, Morrissey is still the most important thing, but Dylan also made my life a little bit enjoyable. Especially the last few months in the internal lockdown.
"We'll meet on edges, soon, " said I, proud 'neath heated brow
Ah, but I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now
I’ll say dylan is pretty great even if I’m not a fanatic. i think he’s managed to live up to his legacy (artistic/poetic/political etc) better than almost anyone I can think of whos reached his level of fame or cultural influence. He’s always managed to mean more than just selling tickets and seats and impress all the way to the end
He has had a weaker moments (late eighties and early nineties), but always maintains a level unattainable by other living artists. I noticed that understanding his work takes time. I didn't fully discover it until I was 40 (quite recently). Now I listen to his songs every day and it's not just music, it's something more. Something that makes me feel better, that I understand better the surrounding reality. By the way, Dylan also has some beautiful, one-of-a-kind love songs.
