[@Goldsteinphoto]

I was going to comment but read what was already posted...absolutely great comments I can't improve on. I first listened to Dylan as a teenager around 1967. I've gone back to his songs my whole life. Nothing else like it.

[@noblshtplz]

The interesting thing about Dylan is that first & foremost he is a poet. Granted a poet who has put his writings to music, but a poet at heart. These individuals have a tendency to be more finely attuned to the emotions, the words that swirl through their minds & less aware & confident of their physical persona. I see this in him whenever he is engaged in a crowd or feels there are expectations he might not meet. He is the modern definition of a troubador... If you watch (or have watched) the Netflix documentary, "The Greatest Night in Pop" you will see the poet emerge in this sublimely talented man...

[@jnagarya519]

Dylan's voice? His songs perfectly fit the throat.

[@wayneclendenen2036]

Bob Dylan is a national treasure...Even if you think his talent as a musician is lacking you aren't getting the message that he is giving you...He has a real talent for making people look at history and see the evil no one wants to talk about...

[@TranquiloTrev]

I was at school when this song was released in the 1960's. I listened to it in bewilderment. It was an education for me. Dylan is the greatest songwriter of his era. That is all I have to say.

[@ruthcrawford3015]

Thank you for sharing Bob Dylan with a couple of generations that missed his stunning world changing era, of shattering truth. He was embraced readily by most, dismissed by the guilty, and a young generation heard every word, had all the albums, learned to play guitar and harmonica (including my brothers) and sing those songs out loud themselves. .He was a legend in his OWN TIME. He is now in his 80's and performs from time to time. Can one man change the world? Maybe Dylan did, for a while. Again, thank you for sharing him with those who didn't know he existed.

“Performs from time to time”? I want to correct that since November of 2021 he’s done about 75 concerts all across the US and is about to tour Europe in the fall of this year. Dylan loves to tour he has toured every year since 1988 the only two years he didn’t tour was because of covid in 2019/20.

[@kf8346]

I love the twist at the end. Every step of the story he says it is not time for crying. Until the verdict is only a six month sentence, and now it finally is time to cry. . . Reminds me of another song on the same album “Spanish boots”. His girl is traveling far away in Spain and the song is letters going back and forth between them. She keeps asking if he wants her to send him a gift and he keeps saying no, all he wants is to see her when she returns. And then at the end of the song he realizes she is not coming back so he asks for boots of Spanish leather. It is his way of accepting he won’t see her again.

Oh my I always pictured it was the man who was leaving on a merchant ship and the woman was asking for the boots at the end.

[@kf8346]

@@lgpsan yeah I guess it could go both ways. The only tiny part in the song that makes me think the narrator is the man is when he says “ I got a letter on a lonesome day, it was from her ship sailing”. So the person who is sailing is “her”. . . Reminds me of bobs version of house of the rising sun. He says “it has been the ruin of many a poor girl”. And the animals version says “many a poor boy”. It doesn’t really matter which it is cuz this brothel will ruin everyone involved. . . Also reminds me of when jack white covers the Dolly Parton song “Jolene”. He doesn’t change the pronouns or anything. Just a guy singing from the perspective of a girl, doesn’t change the story at all to have a man tell it.

[@guzzopinc1646]

Yes, but the refrain "You who philosophize disgrace and criticize all fears..." illustrates Dylan ALSO has contempt for the people the song is addressed to. Add to that the fact that they can turn off and on their tears suggests they are fake. Ultimately the song is a critique of self righteous people who feel they are so much better than William Zanzinger, and it is couched in this sad story. It is a "Dont judge lest you will be judged" moral condemnation.

[@kf8346]

@@guzzopinc1646 it is relevant to right now. . . . People on KZbin love to philosophize disgrace and criticize all fears. Morality is the new cheap form of entertainment. People get paid for having an opinion online. A good thought experiment is to imagine this exact same song is about George Floyd. . Or Oscar grant. It is already too late. They are already dead. So bob dylan songs just describe things as they happen, and then they keep happening.

[@chrishowell6549]

When I was much younger (I'm 44 now) I made fun of Dylan's voice. It's easy to. If you're coming from the perspective of judging the greatest vocalists of all time, Dylan is not there. ...But one day ...I got it. I finally understood his message. That changed everything.

[@tallestmountain]

His voice was a blend of singing and narration. As I recall those days, what he was saying was more important than how he was saying it. He didn’t beat around the bush, he came right out and said what needed to be said. He made us think differently about the status quo. He made helped us to believe there was something we could do about it.

He also said, if you'd played "John Henry" as many times as I have, you could have written "A Hard Rain's Gonna Fall" just as well as I did.

[@wr6443]

Bob Dylan is from a different planet. He's kept fans entranced since the early 60's and has shaped culture along the way. I would recommend some of his "love" songs -- if that's even the right title for them -- there's nothing quite like them. "Don't Think Twice it's Alright" and "Boots of Spanish Leather." They're both very different but both great. If you want a to react to another artistic "epic" like these last two, I'd recommend "Its Alright Ma, Im only Bleeding" or "A Hard Rain A-Gonna Fall." There's plenty of Dylan fanatics out there and I proudly fall into that category. The deeper you find yourself in his catalogue, the more shocked you'll be by his talent.

I've been entranced by Dylan since I was a small child. Grew up absorbing his music. It has sharpened my own writing abilities, my own ability to express and convey detail in storytelling. As for that magnificently un-polished voice, with a song like this, would we really want it to sound like a lounge crooner or a perfect pop ballad? I don;t think so. The voice is an instrument of its own, and as you continue your Dylan journey, you will find out that it also can morph into various forms as he wishes. There is a reason why Dylan is a Nobel laureate.

Such a powerful song, one that is still topical. No real justice is meted out towards some who kill, and those reasons include class, race, wealth, position, and more. Our “justice” system seems broken too often. I’m absolutely with you on Dylan’s voice. He is a vital part of his own storytelling.

[@donfette5301]

You have to check out his song called “Only a Pawn in Their Game.” Roughly same time period. There’s a live version where he’s on a flatbed truck somewhere in the south. It’s centered around “the southern strategy” adopted by disgusting politicians. From same era, I’d also suggest the timeless, prophetic “The Times They Are A-Chaingin’” He was like 23 when he wrote it. Incredible.

I have listened to these observations for many years. I actually like hearing people"s first discovery of Dylan and many others. As he grew into his place and talent these earliest efforts combined his growing talent, but also showed what interested him as he grew into the artist and performer. His life and song catalog certainly suggest a roller coaster that evolved for the self styled performer. Hitchhiked from Hibbing Minnesota to New York Cith rather than attending college as his parents wished. You are starting from the beginning. Good place to begin.

The great thing about Dylan was he never preached. He just told it like he saw it, and let the stories speak for themselves.

Wonderful reaction. So glad I found your channel. I love that you research the stories behind the songs before reacting to them. Bob Dylan is a great gift to our world - we are fortunate to live in his era. He is "the poet and the painter who lights up his rightful time," to quote a line from his sublime 'Chimes of Freedom'. I would love to see you react to his performance of that song at the Newport Folk Festival, and also to 'Only A Pawn In Their Game', either from Newport (for the clearest footage) or at the March on Washington (for the most moving historical context). For latter day Dylan (though still as it turns out, only halfway through his career), his performance at the Apollo of Sam Cooke's 'A Change is Gonna Come' will make your hairs stand up.

Thank you for venturing into the realm of folk music, and today listening to Dylan. To listen to Dylan is also to listen to Woody Guthrie who especially shaped his early music. I hear Dylan in Guthrie’s song “Deportee,” song by many thru the years, including Guthrie’s son, Arlo Guthrie. One singer songwriter many people would not have heard of but well worth being introduced to is Si Kahn. Perhaps his song “"Aragon Mill" is best known and performed by others. There’s a write up on Wikipedia about Kahn, which mentions another singer/songwriter, multi-instrumentalist John McCutcheon. Both are in the tradition of Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger.

[@henrytberry]

Bob Dylan became famous with "Blown' in the Wind' the year I was a freshman in college at Urbana, Illinois. I was a naive 17-year-old from a tiny rural prairie town, and Dylan changed my life. He was the first artist to show me there was a different way of seeing the world. And I have always thought this was his most powerful song, ripping the face off of institutional racism in America in a way that hadn't happened before. Sure, Billie Holiday sang about Strange Fruit, but that could be dismissed as some black woman whining about unspecified and thus deniable lynchings, mere abstractions. This was real and specific. It had happened and the young white guy singing the song documented it. I had never met a black person before I went to college to Jim Crow and racism. This song opened my eyes to racism in America, just as Masters of War made me think about people suffering and dying over political ambition. More than anyone, he was the voice of the sixties and of my generation. Of course the promise implicit in his music and in that generation was all a lie. Nothing is really better that I can see now that I'm near the end. We face the possibility of a psychopathic narcissist being reelected to the Presidency in two years, and a legislature and indeed a whole world that is functionally ignoring impending doom from climate change, with little change in institutional racism, increased inequality in the distribution of wealth, epidemics rampant and the conservatives want us to get with Jesus which they say will solve everything. Still, it was a nice dream sixty years ago.
