Default changing of the guard

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cY2B_...eature=related

as one of the comments stated: bob dylan attacks the lines Patti seduces.

the versions complement each other, as do all the mirrors male/female, sun/moon.

here is patti's version, which at the very least has the advantage of being legible. to me there are others, just as earth-fracking.

;pbr smf trrd[rvy. eo;;pe

zzzzzzzzzz(woops got my fingers on the worng kees and besides my spelling has started to deteriorate as the bozzing, drigging and general self-abuse have finally demanded that the piper must be paid. . . . . . but hey, that just might prove useful, if one could only think of a way how. . . .

i love you all so, and there's a healthy teacupful of respect in there for every one of you here--

CRAZZY, get your ass up from in front of that Boob Tube* and talk to me!!!


love and resepct, Willow-la

*a term for television that has unfortunately fallen out of favor

I like Bob Dylan's version much better, but to each their own.

Default the words

Patty was so clear it was the first time i heard all the words.

on the other hand, Dylan gives you that wiggle room . . .

until I heard patti sing it, I thought dylan was saying, "The Good Shepherd breeds* desperate men. . . ."

which i still insist is much better than grieves* btw--

Yes, Bob Dylan songs need a very careful if not repeated listens to get the full impact and meaning of each word.

It is one of my favorite songs and goes very well with ‘Slow Train’.

Below is a link to Bob Dylan’s lyrics’.
