Bob Dylan is 70!

Bob Dylan, Robert Zimmerman, is turning 70


after another Bob thread it is time 


 a perfect time to post your favorite songs 


I believe there is a Bob Dylan song for every occasion 


i saw him live in concert many years ago and it was not the same as listening 


to his old classics, i guess the times are a changing 


which leads me to my current favorite 


The times are a changing 


"your children are beyond your commend so you better swim or you'll sink like a stone"

Happy birthday Bob

So many voices and so many styles - a true genius (among others).  So difficult to find originals on youtube as it's full of good and not so good covers.

Love You Gotta Serve Somebody but not the fatalistic view that you gotta serve somebody.


And he could write funny silly songs (though intentionally?) like God Gave Names to All the Animals (all in English of course!).  Too bad I can't find a version.


And he was adept at 'borrowing' other peoples music and calling it his own.  Once listening to a Dylan song I thought musically this sounds like a slowed down Gypsy Kings song.  I increased the speed and I swear it was.  He's changed a few words to Led Zeppelin's When The Levee Breaks which in turned was a reworked version of an original.


Ah well when all is said and done he's still one of the greats.

Joannie's protest song : 


"You say you're looking for someone who will pick you up each time you fall 


someone to gather flowers constantly and come each time you call


but it aint me babe 


it aint me you're looking for


"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nADCKIT_Kbw
