Very historic. With Martin Luther King Day coming up, Bob Dylan - Only A Pawn In Their Game (March On Washington 1963), Dylan was only 22, but already important enough they wanted him to appear, he sang a song about the recent killing of civil rights leader Medgar Evers, he sang just a few minutes before King gave his famous I have a dream speech. Very historic video

[@DaleGerdemann]

For another historical performance of a Dylan song, check out Bruce Springsteen singing the Dylan song Chimes of Freedom in East Berlin shortly before the opening of the wall. It’s very emotional. I know it’s not Bob Dylan singing, but Dylan has been known for producing many songs that other singers have covered fantastically.

[@Twilight-cl3zc]

????? What's that got to do with this video? This is Dylan performing in the mid seventies, about 35/36yrs old here. The way you're talking is though your words are somehow related to this video....you need to explain yr comments better as you write 'em.

I just LOVE that line: "Idiot wind, blowin' every time your mouth". Wow, what a sarcastic slap!

[@lathedauphinot6820]

He wrote, recorded, and released ‘Blood On the Tracks’ album when his marriage broke up. It’s an incredible album which will hit you emotionally after a few listens. It covers all the moods and voices he experienced. “I still believe she was my twin, but I lost the ring.” This song registers rage and disgust, obviously. They’re not all like that. There are tender, beautiful ballads with excellent guitar work, “If You See Her, Say Hello”, blues songs about how miserable he is without her, “Buckets Of Rain”, a semi-biographical masterpiece tracing the history of the relationship, “Tangled Up In Blue”, a powerful third-person piece trying to accept that it can’t work, “A Simple Twist Of Fate”, with a lyric “He woke up; the room was bare. He didn’t see her anywhere, told himself he didn’t care, pushed the window open wide…” and a detailed, rambling Old West short story about a failing boomtown, a bank robbery, the big boss, his wife, his mistress, his murder, the judge, judgement, and resolution, “Lily, Rosemary, and the Jack Of Hearts”. And Many More!… One of my all-time favorite records.

[@thadcashin6962]

Definitely one of Dylan's best albums,

[@peters7025]

The original is on Blood on the Tracks album which is the album which came out following the break up of his marriage to Sara. It might help put some context into his words but there’s a lot more going on in this song too. That’s what makes his work constantly rewarding.

Bob Dylan is a great singer songwriter poet. His music has been recorded by so many artists. Peter, Paul & Mary do a great version of "Blowing In The Wind". The group the Byrds did a few of Bob Dylan's songs such as "Mr. Tambourine Man" & "All I Really Want to Do". Some of Bob Dylan's early hits were "The Times They Are a-Changin'", "A Hard Rain's a-Gonna Fall", "Like a Rolling Stone", "It Ain't Me Babe" etc. Dylan co-founded the supergroup the Traveling Willburys in 1988 with George Harrison, Jeff Lynne, Roy Orbison & Tom Petty.

[@glenndespres5317]

The man has been a legend forever. If you didn’t live through the JFK assassination you might not get it but try ‘A Murder Most Foul’ to see that even still, the man is genius with words.

[@bobbodo3720]

Bob Dylan was almost booed off the stage at the Newport folk festival back in the sixties because he did one set with an acoustic guitar and the next one with an electric guitar which was heresy back then. In response he wrote like a rolling stone to everyone who booed him at the festival.

[@matthewdejoseph5557]

The thing about Bob Dylan is most of his songs have more than 1 theme going on! You have a great perspective Wilbur!

[@BDFAN65]

It's not just that he was sooo great. He still is. He's still doing all that and much more at 80 yrs old. Love his 2021 Shadow Kingdom recordings. Enjoyed this Idiot Wind live performace. Thumbs Sky High 👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍Lone Wolf :)

[@salsalzman2325]

I remember reading an article about a BYU professor who taught a course on this song. Just this song... There's so much to parse in these lyrics, its one of the most complex songs you'll ever hear.

@@blackeyedlily One of the biggest problems of the internet is the vastness of information is so great doing basic Google searches really won't work, It's almost like maybe I should have saved every single newspaper I've ever read!

1966 Royal Albert Hall “I Don’t Believe You”, best Bob Dylan song, fight me.

[@azcactus2008]

Having watched interviews that Bob Dylan has done in the past, he will admit himself that some of his greatest songs from the past are things that he is not able to duplicate today. He says he simply can’t do that anymore. “It’s all right Ma I’m only bleeding” was one particular song he pointed out that he no longer has the ability to write like that anymore. His latest song that I heard “murder most foul“ is something you definitely need to hear.

[@HelynnHeels]

"I can't help it if I'm lucky."

[@GD-rd6ig]

Good job, Wilburn. For me, I do dissect Dylan’s lyrics, but not to figure out what he’s talking about, but to understand what it means to me and for me.

[@musicairplanes4884]

If you want a history lesson listen to one of his more recent songs. Murder Most Foul. Amazing song!! By the way he is still here.

[@grandpacardenaz8222]

Yes...Amazing.

[@blackeyedlily]

This song is off my favorite Dylan album Blood on the Tracks. Every song on that album is genius. And for the people who are critical of Dylan’s voice, I believe his voice sounded his absolute best on that album. I would even call the production on many of the songs from that album as lush. Lots of people comment on how the Blood on the Tracks songs have a lot to do with the break up from his wife at that time. But another influencing factor was that Dylan had been spending a lot of time with a painter and was inspired by that medium to approach his music differently. I have noticed that you are covering a lot of Dylan’s songs from live versions. He is known for always delivering his songs in different styles. So I would encourage you to go listen to the recorded album versions. Some have very iconic deliveries. I agree that Dylan was very groundbreaking in numerous ways. One thing he did was break from the 3 minute standard song that was recorded for radio broadcasting. It might seem to be a minor thing as far as artistic vision. But breaking that mold was quite significant for musicians.

Bob Dylan & The Band, Buffalo Springfield and The Byrds started the whole electric folk movement in 1964/1965 - Bob Dylan, David Crosby, Neil Young, Stephen Stills. Crosby Stills Nash & Young, and Neil Young & Crazy Horse have huge catalogs of their own with over 100 albums and over 100 hits combined. Young has 41 studio albums alone, not counting his live albums and albums with super groups he belongs to.

That performance is captured on the live album Hard Rain. Buy it. Listen to it. Love it. It is all like this. Intense performances every track.👍✌🏻❤️

[@dorianedwards8522]

The most important thing to understand about this song is that it took place in a dark period of Bob's life. Blood On The Tracks is the album it came from. Dylan's son Jacob said that the album is his parents talking to each other during their divorce. It's about them and the struggle people have to overcome when a divorce happens with kids involved. Oh yea, by the way, Wilburn.... Bob ain't dead you know.... he's still here with us..... still writing songs.....

[@matthewzuckerman6267]

"You're introduced to algebra, but here's calculus..." Great metaphor!

[@lesliecermak6473]

I really appreciate that you admit as a reactor that appreciating Bob’s lyrics and storytelling requires more than one surface listen. I do hope more reactors understand that - it’s a great first-time exposure, but he is truly an artist one has to take some time with to walk away with how impactful he is. Great reaction.

His phrasing and delivery are amazing, nobody like DYLAN, I've said this before if you get into DYLAN you go so deep. You know your stuff, the respect you have for different music and culture blows my mind, a lot of people won't even give DYLAN a chance it always,i like his writing but not his voice that fucks me off. So again respect. Little fact for you BOTT is meant to be about his break up of his marriage as you know, he was having blazing arguments with Sara his wife all week, and she was right in front of him when he was singing this so it goes, you can hear the venom in his voice, so might be true

Don't worry about what the whole song means. Just enjoy the individual verses that speak to you, and over time the song will come into focus for you, and it may not be the same thing Bob intended, but that's cool. Anything that resonates with you, that's what he's saying.

[@jonathanmyers3898]

Once when asked what his songs "meant" Bob got frustrated and replied he was saying what he felt and he thinks his songs make enough sense to anyone who's felt the same things.

Check out "Deportee," with Joan Baez," from this same tour.

[@georgecoventry8441]

There's a lot in that song. Most of the anger in it has pretty well got to be aimed at his wife, Sara, after the breakup of their 8-year marriage. They were going through divorce court, fighting over custody of their 5 children, and that's a very tough thing for anyone to go through. And the lawyers don't help.... Bitter stuff at the time, for sure. He also directs some sharp venom at gossip-mongers in the press, spreading all kinds of rumors and false stories about him...that's mostly in the first verse. "Someone's got it in for me. They're planting stories in the press...etc" I think it might be the angriest song he ever wrote. He sure pours out a lot of energy singing it. There are all kinds of amazing poetic images scattered through the verses, and he wraps it up at the end by admitting that it was partly his fault too...and that they both ended up behaving like idiots. A divorce can do that to people. "Idiot Wind! Blowing through the buttons of our coats. Blowing through the letters that we wrote. Idiot Wind! Blowing through the dust upon our shelves. We're idiots, Babe! It's a wonder we can even feed ourselves!" Yes, he was willing to share the blame...

[@brucekastel707]

You might enjoy listening to his Nobel acceptance speech read by the American Ambassador which can be found on KZbin - it will give you a little personal insight on his thinking.

[@tomfagrell7357]

It is important to note that sometimes there is not a deeper meaning to a specific lyric. With Dylan there are just so many references and so much train of thought imagery that while the song may have a larger theme or story it is not really meaningful to disect every single lyric. Often it’s better to just try to discern what the words mean to YOU. Anyway, Idiot Wind is from the album Blood on the Tracks, which many (including me) consider his best album. I love it because, for Dylan, it is unusually intimate and vulnerable.

[@katesmith5669]

Hey, how about doing some Led Zeppelin again? You had thousands of viewings because you don't pause or talk over the songs. May I suggest the live version of Achille's Last Stand from Knebwoth Festival 1979. It will blow your mind!!

[@jim7831]

I'd like to hear u react to some of his more recent material. Key west from his last album would be a good pick. Alternatively anything from love & theft or time out of mind. Whichever way u look at it, you've stumbled upon an artist that has literally more layers than an onion. This is high art, not to be compared with any other popular music as far as I'm concerned

[@richardbailey1295]

What other songwriter ever got the Nobel prize?

[@richardbailey1295]

The way at the end when it went from 'It's a wonder you can even breathe' to 'It's a wonder we can even feed ourselves' is golden. As bad as he was getting down on this woman (?), he was also talking about himself the whole time. Thats the kicker.

[@NearlyNormalSteve]

Many very interesting things, but to me it is telling at the end that “YOUR an idiot” becomes “WE are idiots, babe”. Blame enough for both of us.
