The older I get, the more I appreciate the genius that is Bob Dylan.

[@fqexpat]

Hell, if I get much older ... I'll be dead! But, I've been listening to good ole Bob Zimmerman since '64, or was it '63? Whatever, it was a long time ago, and yeah, he does have a certain genius, and like so many other geniuses, he gets misread and misinterpreted quite a bit. Regarding the album this song is on, it's got to be one of the most poignant collection of sad songs I've ever heard. When this album came out in '75, I'd just been "dumped" by the woman I'd been seeing for quite awhile and this was like an album of theme music for me until I got my emotional self back together again. It's only recently that I can listen to it without slipping into a space filled with sad memories. Now, send me a bill for this "session" and I'll send you a check.

The Nobel Prize for literature could not have gone to a greater poet of his era. From a song, no one can put a film of life inside your head like Bob Dylan can.

[@samuelackah2210]

No, it was dumb to give the Nobel in literature to a songwriter - nepotistic and tunnel visioned. Millions of book writers, past and now, could’ve received it instead of a songwriter. Songwriters have their own awards. It was an insult.

[@elizabethdevries8028]

My late husband really admired Bob Dylan, and my husband was quite a man so that says a lot to me in and of itself. He LOVED Bob Dylan. I do too, but now I feel warm but sad when I hear his songs. I want my husband with me and singing along or playing his guitar along with it. Not having him here playing Dylan's songs..........I don't have words how it feels. Others like me will understand. My situation is not unique. He played a lot of Dylan's songs on his Martin. Those are among my favorite times with him. We enjoyed playing and singing Dylan songs and some others minimum 3 times a week. We'd sit across from each other on the sofa, play guitar and singing together! I mean, how awesome is that to do with your hubby!!! So: THANK YOU Bob, for sharing your genius. I don't think there will be another like Dylan, ever. I am also very grateful Bob wrote some of the most amazing music of all time and because of that, along with the music, I have these memories of my husband, that are very dear. It's pretty cool. Peace!

There are other wordsmiths in the music world, each of them unique in their own right. They each have their own "voice", a way of turning a phrase, weaving words together, that you just recognize as THEM when you hear the lines. Dylan is the stand-out for me in the 60s.

Dylan classics, as with many Van Morrison classics, are, for me, much like great art works. By that I mean they all have an indefinable, intangible 'something' that puts them well above just being great songs.

He could be considered lucky to have made it to 51)

My dad had mentioned to me once, that it wasn't implying "her" and "God" we born the same day.. That might seem obvious enough. Rather my father's speculation and take on the line was that God and "her" were the birth of two powerful. One truly a biblical character and the other, "her." Sharing the common trait that supersedes all mortal's altruistic reach. And that is of unconditional love.... Food for thought

I remember seeing Dylan at the spectrum in Philly in the 70's. To me he was larger then life at the time. After the Band played some great music , it got all quiet and dark then 1 spot light came on and there he was. People were crying in the audience . I did not hear 1 person sing along . We were all shocked to see him in person. This little guy on stage in a cowboy hat was Bob Dylan . it's one of the most surreal nights of my life. A true American genius

[@lesliehobby7266]

[@oleggorky906]

You say that and yet if you didn't know better, he could be a minstrel from medieval England, lampooning the king and the local squire; he comes from that kind of vein. Medieval England was full of those characters; Bob represents something from our distant past.

Yep. I think this song can only be really understood by a person like you, and me when I heard it years ago. It is about the painful hurt and disappointment in a failed relationship and trust. Notice all the biblical metaphors too, "I offered up my innocence, I got repaid with scorn." It was after this that Dylan got into this Gospel trend, which unfortunately didn't last either. It's too sad really.
