"What time is it?” said the judge to Joey when they met “Five to ten,” said Joey. The judge says, “That’s exactly what you get” I love this part of the song

Desire and Blood on the tracks ... two masterpieces in a same year by the legendary Robert Allen Zimmermann . nobody can be compared to the Minnesota born genuis .

For me is the Best Song of the Best Album of Bob Dylan.

[@Cheech2106]

This song is Dylan's "Tribute To A Bad Man" one of the most colorful gangsters of all time. He died the way he lived, on his own terms. R.I.P. Crazy Joe.

[@coldlogiccrusader365]

Dylan met Joe Gallo once at a party. Then when Joe, got out, Dylan was invited to his "Getting Out" party. They were friends, that is why every person & place mentioned in this song is fact. Same here, RIP Joey. I'm 71, God how I wish we had men like him. Imagine Crazy Joe being told he can't eat meat because of Climate Change Imagine Telling Joe "Bugs will be the new source of Protein" Bwaaaaaa Not Good

[@LeeJahn-ih9xu]

This album makes me cry …. Those were the days 😢

[@MrEdkern]

They sure were great days. Saw dylan in 1965 first time met him in 1991 in cleveland. Was very nice to me.

[@RonnieSutton-cz3lp]

I saw him at the isle of Wight in 69. My first gig I was 15. They had to bring us back by hovercraft because there were so many people. Who only did 40 mins, but it was the best 40mins of my life. He's like John Lennon a rare artist and preacher

[@MinglewoodSlim]

The momentum this song subtly builds throughout leading to the scene when Joey dies is amazing and drives me to tears every time!

[@MrEdkern]

Been following dylan for 60 years. Saw him 35 times since 1965. Met him by chance in cleveland I July 1991 by chance. Shook my hand. I got tickets to see him in Akron ohio on October 21 of this year 2023. Might be his last tour. Noone can write like that. A genius.

[@waynejohanson1083]

What was it like meeting him. Did he seem like a great guy.

[@MrEdkern]

@waynejohanson1083 never said one word to me . Saw him walking I yelled at him he looked over and saw me with my hand out. The reason why he came over to shake my hand was I stood still and did not make a move toward him. I did not threaten his safety. Shook my hand. Touch touches your hand with no grip. A very power man in person. He is everything what they say about him. I got lucky that's all. He would of signed a autograph for me but I did not ever think I would run into him. Saw him in Akron ohio Saturday October 21 2023.

[@sunlinesmith1511]

I was born in 63 and I have said in music that the person I would love to meet is this same person, respect, nice to know that such a slow song can have that many admirers. In my life there has not been a song writer ever who has expressed themselves in their daily world.

[@Rave0851]

Met him in Greenwich Village in the 60's playing with David Peele. Seen him over 100 times. Not nearly the number I've seen Jerry and the Grateful Dead.

[@darkcarnival5207]

A rock and metal fan and guitar player, this album has long been on my Desert Island Disc list. Having grown up in NJ just a short drive from NYC, the "Hurricane" Carter story was known to all of us in our late teens and early adult years. But it was the mournful playing of the violin throughout this album that to this day keeps it as one of my favorite listening albums of all time.

[@mma1st105]

I'm from Brooklyn and there many men like Joe around when I was growing up. Maybe not as eccentric but similar. The whole album is great but this song has always hit me pretty hard.

[@jonathanhains814]

The harmonica and backing vocals are amazing in combination with the violin. Don't overlook Emmylou Harris' talent.

He claims in a '60 minutes' interview that he answers to a "higher" power and alluded to Satan...Sold his soul and will have to answer for that. Or will he? Life on planet Earth is tolerable when insulated by millions of dollars, his is now a life WITHOUT limits. The Book says: For the love of money is the root of all evil...

Such a beautiful tune! Just a beginner here, and I've been pushing my Bob Dylan journey (for the 3rd time in my life; I feel like I've finally reached maturity for his sophistication) for the past 2mth. This tune sounds better the 15th time I hear it compared to the 14th...with plenty of growth to come. He certainly hit the depths of art, humanity, and spirituality that many "comparable" greats failed to even come close to.

[@stevegregan1625]

This song always reminds of the great ballad Billy, from the Sam Peckinpah movie with Kris kristofferson, James Coburn and Dylan himself. Great film and hugely overlooked western. The soundtrack is great too. Look it up. Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid. You won't regret it.

Born in Red Hook, Brooklyn, in the year of who knows when Opened up his eyes to the tune of an accordion Always on the outside of whatever side there was When they asked him why it had to be that way, well, he answered, just because Larry was the oldest, Joey was next to last They called Joe Crazy, the baby they called Kid Blast Some say they lived off gambling and runnin' numbers too It always seemed they got caught between the mob and the men in blue Joey, Joey King of the streets, child of clay Joey, Joey What made them want to come and blow you away 🎵🎶🎵🎶 There was talk they killed their rivals, but the truth was far from that No one ever knew for sure where they were really at When they tried to strangle Larry, Joey almost got hit the roof He went out that night to seek revenge, thinkin' he was bulletproof Then, the war broke out at the break of dawn, it emptied out the streets Joey and his brothers suffered terrible defeats Till they ventured out behind the lines and took five prisoners They stashed them away in a basement, called them amateurs The hostages were tremblin' when they heard a man exclaim Let's blow this place to kingdom come, let come Edison take the blame But Joey stepped up, he raised his hand, said, we're not those kind of men It's peace and quiet that we need to go back to work again Joey, Joey King of the streets, child of clay Joey, Joey What made them want to come and blow you away 🎵🎶🎵🎶 The police department hounded him, they called him Mr. Smith They got him on conspiracy, they were never sure who with What time is it? said the judge to Joey when they met Five to ten, said Joey, the judge says, that's exactly what you get He did ten years in Attica, reading Nietzsche and Wilhelm Reich They threw him in the hole one time for tryin' to stop a strike His closest friends were black men 'cause they seemed to understand What it's like to be in society with a shackle on your hand They let him out in '71 he'd lost a little weight But he dressed like Jimmy Cagney and I swear he did look great He tried to find the way back into the life he left behind To the boss he said, I have returned and now I want what's mine Joey, Joey King of the streets, child of clay Joey, Joey What made them want to come and blow you away 🎵🎶🎵🎶 It was true that in his later years he would not carry a gun I'm around too many children, he'd say, they should never know of one Yet he walked right into the clubhouse of his lifelong deadly foe Emptied out the register, said, tell 'em it was Crazy Joe One day they blew him down in a clam bar in New York He could see it comin' through the door as he lifted up his fork He pushed the table over to protect his family Then he staggered out into the streets of Little Italy Joey, Joey King of the streets, child of clay Joey, Joey What made them want to come and blow you away 🎵🎶🎵🎶 Sister Jacqueline and Carmela and mother Mary all did weep I heard his best friend Frankie say, he ain't dead, he's just asleep Then I saw the old man's limousine head back towards the grave I guess he had to say one last goodbye to the son that he could not save The sun turned cold over President Street and the town of Brooklyn mourned They said a mass in the old church near the house where he was born And someday if God's in heaven overlookin' His preserve I know the men that shot him down will get what they deserve Joey, Joey King of the streets, child of clay Joey, Joey What made them want to come and blow you away

In 1996 Dylan performed Joey at the Bronco Bowl in Oak Cliff. This is the Dallas neighborhood where Stevie Ray Vaughan grew up and where Lee Harvey Oswald fled after the events described in Murder Most Foul. It was built in the 50's as a combination bowling alley, indoor putt putt and small concert venue by the son of H.L. Hunt (the REAL Jed Clampett) who probably funded the John Birch Society back in the day. Funny how all these threads of Americana blend to weave this Great American Tapestry. The next day I asked the owner of the small store I worked at if he liked the concert? He said it was okay... I wish he had played more of his old songs...who wants to pay to hear him sing JOEY?
