Dylan spits so much fire in this one song it's incredible.

[@timothybyrne5640]

[@RalphDavis-qk2xy]

"spits so much fire..." I like that.

[@OLLI-ln7kp]

Sometimes Dylan’s lyrics tie your head into knots.

[@CeeJayDee94]

I've spent 15 years trying to really figure out the entirety of 'Visions of Johanna' and still it seems critics and biographers seem split lmao

[@barrywarner7883]

yep

[@Sumotori.]

A student prepared this thesis for a PhD in literature on “ Visions Of Johanna”. He’s studied In universities poem by poem, people are starting to dissect his lyrics which is sometimes impossible to dissect. He’s so deep and mystical. Pure genius of writing songs.

[@JerisEve]

Everything you said sounded right on the money to me: powerful, lyrical genius, so much said in so little time. Yep. All of that and more. So many of my favorite lines and phrases of Dylan came from this song. "toy guns that spark; flesh-colored Christs that glow in the dark...it's easy to see that not much is really sacred" "them that must obey authority that they do not respect in any degree....do what they do just to be nothing more than something they invest in" Dylan himself "sings with his tongue on fire; gargles in the rat race choir" "you discover that you'd just be one more person crying" "it's alright, Ma, if I can't please him." And of course many people's favorite "money doesn't talk, it swears." The whole song is quotes.

[@lordessducky8494]

Agree with everything you say about Bob Dylan.

[@bobschenkel7921]

Bob Dylan, like Jim Morrison of The Doors, was a poet. For more proof, check out Subterranean Homesick Blues, there is a very early video version with Dylan toss off cards with some of the key words. Allen Ginsburg, another poet, he wrote "Howl", makes a cameo appearance in the video.

[@bobschenkel7921]

Gotta admit when I'm wrong. Chod, you already did react to Subterranean Homesick Blues, almost a year ago. Chod, once again, way ahead of the curve.

[@hockemeyer1]

Dylan was a far more important poet of the 60s than Jim Morrison. And far more prolific as was Paul Simon, writing about the times and human weakness.

[@elkabong6429]

Bob Dylan, Master Rapper...

[@ricoabby]

'Masters of War' is a must do Dylan song if you are looking for powerful, bitter anti war, anti establishment lyrics.

[@racheldobbs2028]

and With God on their Side--that's another one he should do

[@MrTambourineMan.]

Powerful song for sure

[@nealesmith3700]

Amen

[@mikelz6936]

For some reason i always wanna hear moonshiner after master of war

[@Cheryworld]

Its all over now, Baby Blue - really cool folk song, just Dylan with guitar harmonica and a bass. Strong strong song

[@bradbehrendt5484]

Bass on that song provided by Spike Lee's father!

[@electraruby4078]

Baby Blue. Sheer poetry.

[@Bear78420]

Don’t think twice and tangled up in blue are a couple of my favorites amongst the many 😁 Oh, and Hurricane. It’s a true story everyone should hear. It was made into a movie that Denzel played Hurricane in.

[@davidspalten1304]

Dylan drove a new generation early in his career with songs like this. Elvis, Dylan, The Beatles, Hendix - most of the history of late 20th century music.

[@blitztim6416]

My favorite Dylan album. And one of my favorite songs of his. And he’s playing the guitar as he’s reciting all that. If you find yourself quoting Dylan in the future, don’t be surprised.

[@edprzydatek8398]

I used to quote Dylan a lot but I don't do that anymore 'cause I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now. Heh!

[@papercup2517]

@@edprzydatek8398 I see what you did there! Nice...

[@jimsarinick6532]

my all time favorite dylan song......for real

[@electraruby4078]

He is an all time phenomenon. A genius shot from the cosmos to change our souls.

[@clifton8929]

Dylan is one of the greatest poets that we have working in contemporary music. An artist that paints with word and music. Give his tune 'JOKERMAN' a listen. The Opening lyrics are "Standing on the water, casting your bread, while the eyes of the idol with the iron head are glowing." And it just keeps getting deeper and better throughout the entire song. Dylan sucks you into the deep and drowns your mind with the meanings of his lyrics. Great tune. Thanks for this one too Chod. This was the HIP HOP & RAP we listen to in the 1960's (laugh)!

[@RileyRampant]

If I had to pick a 'greatest Dylan song', there are days when it would be this. Beyond the lyrics, the sound play, is the concept play, the ideas contained. Like any great art, there are levels - the driving percussive tempo, the occasional harp wail. The subtle power of it all wrapped together in a package. Great to hear young people like yourself exposing yourself to the elder masters of the art of song. Bob Dylan is foremost among any you will ever meet, or is in my experience. I actually consider him in a class of one - himself. Then the rest.

[@craigreid7178]

Bob is still touring right now.

[@edprzydatek8398]

And he's 80!!!

[@davidtullis2810]

Murder so foul is a recent song by Dylan. Won Noble Prize for writing

[@bjwnashe5589]

This is Bob's version of a State of the Union speech.

[@dantean]

The "G" word is certainly the only one to do justice to Bob as a lyricist. Genius may not even be strong enough, possibly. 50 years+ I'm listening to this song and find new meanings every time. Thanks!

[@flutesong5527]

He was awarded the Noble Prize because he was the words and the voice of several generations. Believe me, most vocalist and lyricists DO know of him and honor his achievements. I saw him live when I was in college in 1972, and the lousy sound system on the football field, because no where else was large enough for him to perform in, didn't matter.

[@philfranco7598]

Greatest of all time !

[@bollykecks]

For more great lyricism, you might also want to check out Bob's songs 'Desolation Row' from 1965, 'Señor (Tales of Yankee Power)' from 1978 or 'Every Grain of Sand' from 1981.

[@lipby]

Or even better "A Hard Rain's a-Gonna Fall."

[@bboyz5713]

yes, either one

[@bollykecks9577]

@@lipby He's already reacted to the Rolling Thunder performance of that song.

[@lipby]

@@bollykecks9577 Oh, christ. Not the live version

[@bollykecks9577]

@@lipby Yes, in 2020 he reacted to the live version from the Netflix docu. When it comes to 'A Hard Rain's a-Gonna Fall', I myself also prefer the original album version. Regarding the 1975 Rolling Thunder/Netflix docu, the performance of 'Another Cup of Coffee' is the greatest, I think.

[@fetzerf]

Great reaction! Nobel Prize in Literature, multiple Grammy's (including lifetime achievement), Presidential Medal of Freedom, and even a Golden Globe...I think there has to be someone out there that he's influenced. :-)

[@beverlybrown2673]

Written more than 50 years ago, still fresh and meaninful. Could have been written yesterday. No one can begin to compare when it comes to writing lyrics. Check out Masters of War, Everything is Broken, All Along the Watchtower, Blowin' in the Wind, The Times They are a Changin', so many more.

[@brianm6530]

To think this was released in1965......so relevant.

[@DanMcManus]

Great reaction. I always remind myself of Dylan's context in time to fully appreciate his genius. This song was released in 1965. The charts were topped by The Beatles, Herman's Hermits, and the Four Tops. This song is light years ahead of all that. These lyrics have grounded me for all my life: A question in your nerves is lit Yet you know there is no answer fit to satisfy Ensure you not to quit To keep it in your mind and not forget That it is not he or she or them or it That you belong to.

[@brettnheather]

I was so happy to see a reaction to Dylan again. He's been been my favorite my entire life. I always say, "there's Father, Son and Holy Ghost, and there's Bob Dylan, Miles Davis and John Coltrane". I'm looking forward to many more of these reactions. Thank You.

[@markturpin5667]

You said it ALL so well. Thank You.

[@samwaugh1464]

You are dead on - Dylan, and only Dylan - deserves the title of "genius". Other great lyricists exist, of course, but none are true genius but him. That explains the Nobel Prize.

[@stevemercer6976]

I heard a Dylan interview where he despaired that in his old age he just doesn't have songs like this in him anymore. He recognizes this one in particular as his lyrical peak.

[@marleybob3157]

It was his '60 Minutes' interview in December 2004.

[@thomascanfield9165]

He once said it was as if a different guy wrote those early songs. He has famously been mum about his past drug use, like in his autobiography that I enjoyed reading. I’ve read from others around him that he dabbled in various items on the menu, but his main drug of choice was amphetamines. I can attest from personal experience that they do, unlike their relative, meth , put you in lofty headspace for writing. (I used to pull all nighters to write college papers.) Maybe that explains the dropping off of his massive creative surge in his younger days, besides just getting older.

[@Hexon66]

The first mistake is believing anything Dylan says about Dylan.

[@keef7224]

@@Hexon66 That’s certainly true most of the time, but he was remarkably candid in that interview and I think he really meant it when he said this. How could anyone be expected to live up to the lofty heights he achieved so young? It’s sad how we expect and demand that artists maintain their creative peaks forever, rather than simply being grateful for whatever already they’ve given us.

[@robertasirgutz8800]

The voice of a generation. Past, present and future. Best lyricist ever. Loved your response.

[@magicbrownie1357]

Oooo, yes! One of the most intensely imaginative verbal and cerebral explorations in the history of song. Unbelievable song.

[@jamesoconnor9027]

This is one of my favorites.

[@AliasMark69]

Bob Dylan walks out to center stage.... Doubleday Field- Cooperstown N.Y. Crowd of around 7,000. He sits down with his guitar and sang the first verse of this masterpiece and the crowd went crazy screaming their approval that Bob stopped playing to say Thank You, then started the song over again. I was about 25 feet away and will never forget the way I felt and the crowds reaction. A Standing Ovation lasted for many minutes before Bob started doing...."Like A Rolling Stone" and that song was beyond description how everyone was blown away. A life changing event for me and my family.

[@mletrout7942]

There's a reason Dylan was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature. My favorite song of his and probably my favorite poem by anyone is Tangled Up in Blue.

[@jollyrodgers7272]

This hearkens back to when he was performing solo on street corners, with a bit of rap. He can paint remarkable pictures with his lyrics, also - case in point; BLACK DIAMOND BAY, from the Desire album - a movie plays out in my mind's eye when I hear that recording.

[@neverexstinguished]

thank you for playing Dylan again, how do you like our 60s rap? 🤣

[@markturpin5667]

So cool. Thanks for this.

[@anfieldarcher8545]

Stuck inside of mobile with the Memphis Blues again, pure poetry

[@williammartin9783]

Subterranian Homesick Blues is another great 'word song' from Bob.

[@danielthurston5876]

Brownsville Girl is a wonderful story and wonderful music, well worth a listen.

[@kentclark6420]

This song was also in the movie Easy Rider. It fits in really well with that movie, actually. Just has a feeling of freedom about it. Also check out Leonard Cohen- he was about as close to being Bob Dylan's equal in his lyricism as anyone. Rest in peace Leonard

[@cwp716]

you get it, thanks for spreading the word

[@richardsear8008]

One of my favourite Dylan tracks with so many classic lines in it

[@thomascanfield9165]

I especially love “Bent out of shape by society’s pliers”. Ever saw since hearing that I’ve regularly thought of some people as “bent out of shape” or just “bent” in my personal lexicon.

[@bigdaddypiggy]

Bob Dylan simply has too many brilliant songs to realistically hear them all….sooo good 🖤🤤

Was sixty years ahead of his time then and still is.

yeah you said Wilbur! insanely good lyrics and delivery ! and it's interesting to see that the reaction to songs written so so long ago remain the same across decades and generations... I first listened to Dylan in the very late 80s and was blown away... and watching these reactions 40 years on on the same level is in fact incredible, and reminds us of the first time we heard his bobness ! thanks !

[@a2zme]

Fearless is the correct word to describe Dylan .. he not only opened the door for anyone wanting to write something besides a silly love song, he torpedoed the building! :)

[@dukerbower2228]

"I feel like this man invented poetry"; I laughed. A lot of us feel that way. I look to Brueghel for painting the same way. Shakespeare too. The other day I read somewhere someone say they felt like in five hundred years kids will talking about Dylan more than Shakespeare. Maybe the same. I challenge anyone to listen to any five Dylan songs, at random, and not understand how utterly unique and powerful his work is. There is even a word to deal with it, Dylanesque.

[@MonsterGigante]

That might be his best song.... And that is huge praise

[@damonhines8187]

Unrivalled wordsmith, imo. Mind expanding, then blowing. Whew...

[@AliasMark69]

"Bob Dylan's 115th Dream".... The funniest song about life in America ever written. You want to listen to it at least twice, much like this song. Good Day Friend.

Hey Bro, This is Vivian from Las Cruces. I'm 65 so I grew up with Dylan I'm from San Diego. When my brother saw him in a concert at San Diego Stat University, bro was I ever envious.

[@johnmanning8149]

“Lily, Rosemary, and the Jack of Hearts”. Is a great Dylan storyteller song.

[@ronniestanley75]

I think Tangled up in Blue is my favorite. It feels like the way you feel when you leave home and meet someone and then it's all gone. And life keeps moving on. I have a Dylan playlist for when I'm in my shop. There is something with his music that can hit every feeling you feel throughout the day.

[@susieterry2624]

OMG. I've never found a reaction to this song. My brother is 20 years older than me. When he moved out of the house when I was a baby, this is one of the albums he left behind for me. I still have it.

[@pliesj]

There's good reason for why Bob Dylan was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature. This song scratches the surface.

[@dougieyou]

Great reaction,good analysis as well. I think they call them "bars" these days...lol. He was spitting them in 1964. Chod ,you should react to the album version of "Desolation Row" it is outstanding in its context and poetry a real masterpiece. This man literally changed my life after listening to "Blonde on Blonde" Album.

[@gdm49]

Bob was the Master of Rap long before rap existed.

[@donnabruhn6907]

Bob is still alive and still churning out the music, 60 year career, I'm very happy you are reacting to him, he is absolutely unique! I'd love to hear you react to one of my favorites, "It's all over now Baby Blue" keep up the good work

[@timtrotter7007]

Besides the obvious power in his words, you focusing on his delivery is spot on. It's been said that Dylan says more with one sentence than most singers say in an album. And yes he really was possibly the first rapper.

[@davidparris7167]

The first and greatest rap song.

[@pete3883]

Greatest lyricist of the 60's.

[@ObservantHistorian]

Find the live version from "Before the Flood." Dylan truly captures the energy of this song in that recording.

[@Squeekyleaks]

If you ever want to delve into his genius further, listen to his STUDIO version of "With God on Our Side," it's mind blowing. He leaves some powerful parts out of his live versions. I haven't seen any other reactors do this song of his.

[@jerrymolina2623]

Bob Dylan is the only Nobel Prize winning lyricist in music!

[@rainydaydreamawy]

One of my all-time fav tunes. Glad I caught your reaction as Bob's people may have you take this down as they chase his work on yt. He's still living and producing great stuff btw. Try "Murder Most Foul".

[@TheDivayenta]

Subterranean Homesick Blues is another iconic one- with a breakthrough video for the 60’s!

[@bobb4745]

When you listen to early Bob Dylan you should remember the time frame in which he grew up and became a young adult in the late 50s and early 60s. post ww2, Korean war and just heading into Vietnam. The first round of Baby boomers were coming into there teen years. I was one of those teen agers sitting alone in my bedroom listening to this song and others and having my world rocked and as he said "The times they are a changing" and they were.

[@anthonylewis5873]

I'm play guitar and sing alot of his songs for about 45 years. Like Bob went through Woody, if you work hard at remembering Bob's lyrics and playing his songs. You will begin to reinvent yourself. I also like the way this guy waited until the song was done before he commented. I got into Dylan knowing Hendrix was amazed by Dylan. Morning Hendrix death I decided to get into Dylan. Best move I ever made. At 70 I consider myself as a black Dylanist.

[@dougsusie2319]
