I thought this post relevant to FFL because a lot of people in FF, and TMOers, present, and former actives, listen to music. And have listened to and admired Bob Dylan. (Does this meet the Doug test for explaining relevancy?)
And so many Dylan lines are relevant to the themes of FFL. A few that come to mind: "Something is happening, but you don't know what it is, do you Mr. Jones?" "She knows too much to argue or to judge." "An' we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing." "I am younger than that now" "Time will tell who as fell, and who has been left behind, when you go your way and I go mine." "I pity the poor immigrant whose strength is spent in vain," "All along the watchtower, princes [and rajas[ kept the view " "There must be some way out of here," said the joker to the thief, there's too much confusion, I can't get no relief." "Ezra Pound and TS Elliot, fighting in the captain's tower, while calypso singers laugh at them And fishermen hold flowers" Great comentaries could be written on these sutras -- unfolding great truths. ========================================== LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Bob Dylan says modern recordings sound "atrocious," and even the songs on his new album sounded much better in the studio than on disc. Bob Dylan says modern music is worthless "I don't know anybody who's made a record that sounds decent in the past twenty years, really," the 65-year-old rocker said in an interview with Rolling Stone magazine. Dylan, who released eight studio albums in that time, returns with his first recording in five years, "Modern Times," next Tuesday. Noting the music industry's complaints that illegal downloading means people are getting their music for free, he said, "Well, why not? It ain't worth nothing anyway." "You listen to these modern records, they're atrocious, they have sound all over them," he added. "There's no definition of nothing, no vocal, no nothing, just like ... static." Dylan said he does his best to fight technology, but it's a losing battle. "Even these songs probably sounded ten times better in the studio when we recorded 'em. CDs are small. There's no stature to it." To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!' Yahoo!
