BOB DYLAN For ever young REACTION

[@carstenhackel6743]

I will never understand people who say Dylan cannot sing .. they may have ears … but they do not have a heart

[@ToddCiehomski]

To loosely quote Steve Van Zandt, Dylan’s voice may not be your cup of tea but he’s one of the greatest singers of all time.

[@agsrd4496]

They may have ears but they fail to listen

[@Lexwell_Lavers]

Bob can write the sweetest songs and songs like a dagger. Nobody beats his writing.

i used to drive a truck through the night many times listening to this song thinking of my 3 children with tears rolling down my eyes, god bless Bob

[@RalphDavis-qk2xy]

Harri, you might be interested to know that when Muhammad Ali retired, American sports commentator Howard Cosell recited the lyrics of this beautiful song in tribute to Ali on national TV. Genius poetry saluting an athletic genius.

[@natlee8947]

I remember that this song was part of a tribute to Ali , I just couldn't remember how. Thanks John , now I do. One of my very favorites from Mr.Dylan.

[@davebzen795]

John, thank you for adding this now-historic tribute from Howard Cosell to Muhammad Ali. I have vivid memories of watching this on TV. "Genius poetry saluting an athletic genius." - well stated, John!

[@sirslice7531]

Backed by "The Band". From the album "Planet Waves". There's also a fast version.

[@wiggion]

Late in Ali's career, it seems like it was part of a Wide World of Sports segment. Title fights might still have been 15 rounds, and often live, or or shown very soon after the fight.

[@John_Chu]

It's a mandolin played by Levon Helm of The Band, who backed Dylan on the album this track comes from. Levon normally played drums but it just shows you how incredibly talented The Band members were.

[@carolines8560]

I've locked in, I'm aware of other songs and singers and all, but I just deep-dive and immerse, and I'm so familiar with all of Bob's songs, all the variations....and what I want to say here, is that I didn't think anybody could say anything about a Bob song that could make me see it from another perspective or that could make me appreciate it on another level, but Hari did that. It's fun to see Hari responding to Bob's songs. Sarah Dengler, too. Super.

I have been a huge fan since his very beginning. I'm a little disappointed that my "kids" never cared for him. I told them they just never took the time to really LISTEN to his music and the messages in them. That hasn't dampened my enthusiasm one little bit. I'm just as big a fan now as I was in the 60s. Bob Dylan is still incredible!

[@andrewchapman7706]

It was written for his son, and is a beautiful example of a father’s blessing for his children.

[@georgecoventry8441]

A beautiful tribute to one's child! Or to anyone. This was a brand new song in 1974 when I saw Bob Dylan and The Band perform it in Maple Leaf Gardens, Toronto, Canada. Thousands of people in the audience lit matches and lighters. We all figured he was singing it for US! "May you have a strong foundation when the winds of changes shift". Just marvelous!

[@nickdeseta3591]

The live performance of this song at the Last Waltz is legendary

[@thomasmuscheck1987]

I believe he wrote this on the birth of his son Jesse, who's managed almost the entirety of his still Never Ending Tour. Devised a way for an artist like Dylan to survive essentially without seeking out press or television, just doing what he wants with his own music. MAY YOUR HANDS ALWAYS BE BUSY.. MAY YOUR FEET ALWAYS BE SWIFT.. MAY YOU HAVE A STRONG FOUNDATION.. WHEN THE WINDS OF CHANGES SHIFT. And.. it's mandolin being violently strummed.. changing chords. You are already big Dylan fan. Anyone who cherishes life as seeking right or wrong, to see if it really exists for oneself, being one who will often look underneath singular rocks to see if "the popular conclusion" holds together, or not, and maybe write about it, without trying to start a revolution with every turned stone.. the person doing that is already a Dylan fan. Only the depth of the "fandom" is undetermined. We're traveling thw same roads going from young to old.. or as Dylan has also noted about himself.. I WAS SO MUCH OLDER THEN.. I'M YOUNGER THAN THAT NOW.-- My Back Pages. Searching for.. or just ramming into by accident.. it's endless MYTH OR FACT moments on alk of our journeys. That's why for me, there are certain phrases or verses in nearly every Dylan song which, when repeated out loud, seem CRYING TO BE APPLIED to what happened today in real time, or be thought of personally as to WHAT WE TOO FELT yesterday or some meaningful summer before. Even if Dylan hasn't seen it all, or done it all, he's exposed himself to so much more than the rest of us could hope to recall thinking about. AND WROTE IT DOWN.. RECORDED FEELINGS.. A TIMELESS HISTORY TO BE SURE. What in a young man's time gets labeled ARROGANCE that nobody didn't not notice, becomes akin in Dylan's life to seeing "perfect pitch" in every sparrow fallen.. in every grain of sand. While the art of Dylan should be remembered for hundreds of years, and not be subjected to shallow critics who wrongly equate every strong high WARBLE OF ANY AND EVERY HELD NOTE with great singing.. the actual memory for Dylan is unavoidably to be far shorter. For obvious reasons that Mankind can't refuse to own. Depicting brilliant stories of "learning moments unlearned", it could be said that Dylan toiled in Morality, Sin, Science, Magic, God, Cowboys, in Masters of Words or Wars, and the endless conversations with himself about what all of us ARE OR ARE NOT, wholly to our benefit, only to leave doubts, whatever it is we wind up doing or not doing with what he'll leave behind. Stuff of the double-edged like this from Ring Them Bells: THE LINES ARE LONG.. AND THE FIGHTING IS STRONG.. AND THEY'RE BREAKING DOWN THE DISTANCE.. BETWEEN RIGHT AND WRONG. More widely instructive? More than that warning inside what Wimpy told Popeye and Olive Oil about his own (cartoon) intentions.. every day? I WOULD GLADLY PAY YOU TUESDAY.. FOR A HAMBURGER TODAY. So it goes.. that when this Life We Think We Live So Uniquely goes down, whether to Aliens or Nukes or God or His Asteroids, it'll be Dylan and Wimpy, both singing out JUST LIKE THAT BIRD, for a hamburger, on the cuff. At least.. til Ruby Tuesday. Or was it Friday.. Wednesday?

[@michaelopm1]

Thanks Harri! Great reaction...keep playing the barb. Bobby ruled the 60's!...I have passed this ironic song along to my 3 children & eventually, my 4 young grandsons, will each get a copy to remind them of grandpa & this great Nobel winning artist, Bob Dylan. Saw BD in 1974 with The Band. That was awesome! class of 1968.

This is a protest song from the Viet Nam era. So many young soldiers were coming home in caskets, hence “forever young”. I just started to get these videos today. Is there a big push for black folks to acquaint themselves with music of my generation? I am so thrilled to enjoy this awakening. I have always been in awe of the renaissance of great music of the 60s and 70s. We changed the world. This music is our legacy and I for one am so happy to share it with you generation.

[@keef7224]

An incredible masterpiece, and yet it’s just another grain of sand in the vast ocean of Dylan’s work. Wouldn’t be surprised if this was only The Band’s first or second run-through of the tune. Bob’s “first take is the best take” philosophy gives the song that same ragged, soulful honesty that was all over The Basement Tapes. He loves to just show his studio guys the changes just once, and then just hit record and see what comes out. It’s the absolute opposite of todays Pro Tools/auto-tuned search for perfection, and it’s what made the old music so much better! You can almost hear them feeling their way through it, searching for little nuances here and there, making it all up on the fly, and just reveling in the fact that they’re all so very much on the same page.

Dylan has an album that is country flavored called "Nashville Skyline" which was received about as well as when he went electric. It didnt sell well. A lot of his fans wanted him to remain stagnant and not grow musically. The only hit on it is "Lay Lady Lay" but I think that the whole album is top notch. By the way, Rod Stewart has a song with the title of "Forever Young", and tho it's a different song, he gave Dylan credit for the inspiration

My mom and dad watched Joan Baez introduce a teenage Dylan at the Blackhawk in San Francisco when he was still a relative unknown outside NY. I got to see him and the Band, along with the Grateful Dead in the early 1980’s and Dylan solo again about 1987 or so. (Same thing with Miles Davis and Zappa. Parents, my dad really, saw them when we lived in California, where I was born, and I was lucky enough to see them both in Ohio in my late teens and early 20’s. All geniuses in their own way but lyrically, Dylan is pretty hard to touch. And The Band? Fugettaboutit. Totally awesome. Levon and Danko, were my two favorites. The crap Robbie pulled on Levon was unforgivable. Watch “I ain’t in it for my health,” and ask yourself how Levon the HEART of The Band, could end up having to put on shows like the Midnight Ramble (while dying of cancer) to keep from losing his home. I digress. Great stuff ❤️👍🏼

A song for his children. Fancy having a dad who wrote this for you. He's a v good dad and grandad. I remember reading an interview with Jakob Dylan ( his youngest son) and he said he was always worried someone would hurt him, after what happened to John Lennon. He also related an amusing story about how Bob one day bundled all the kids ( 5 ) into the car to drive them up to some lake in California and Bob only had 1 tape to play on the trip, Hank Williams I think it was. Well he just kept playing that tape the whole time, a couple of hours and Jakob said that all the kids were nearly going insane at it and were so relieved to arrive!!! Hahaha. The great man is all human.
