I was 17 when I first heard this on AFN in 1970 from Fairport Convention. I was so proud when got the record UNHALFBRICKING and only a year later I bought a Bootleg ZIMMERMAN (3 LP) containing this original. Now 50 years later These LP`s are still on my favorite list.

Totally agree with you, I am 55 and still discovering new masterpieces by this great poet. Reminds me of the neighborhood I grew up in. The Vietnam War was at its height in the early 70s and the medical helicopter would fly over my house and land on the field at the University of Johns Hopkins where the VA hospital was located. I witness the young college students protesting the war in Wyman's Park, and Navy med students would past my house every day at noon to dine at the steakhouse that sat at end of my block. I was 7 yrs-old taking all of this in, such a confusing wonderful time I shall cherish until I die.

@@dontgoout1434 Bob's a very humble man. His voice (or voices) are unique to him and absolutely an essential component to the magnificent storytelling that has captivated millions of fans since 1962. If you can't get to the world those voices provide then why the hell would anyone want to hear from you? Where are you going with that utterance? What is your point? Go listen to Paul McCartney. They say he has a pretty voice and he hasn't said anything to stimulate the imagination, anything of interest or intelligence in song for the last fifty years! The singing voices in popular music that people remember down through the years are the ones that have unique qualities to them and say something worth paying attention to. They will sometimes be perceived as strange or off-putting but so many are ultimately welcomed, enjoyed, then remembered for being brilliant because there is, or there was, or only will be, one for all time!

Are you suggesting good laws (well written, of good intention, and correctly applied) never result in unintended or unjust remedies? Even at our best our capacity is too limited to resolve many situations for their complexity. Much of the time we are far from our best.
@patrickney65847 жыл бұрын
perry12328 No, I'm not suggesting that. I'm just letting everyone know that this song does not apply to an actual event and, therefore, isn't a condemnation of an actual U.S. law. It's an odd song to me because it involves the defense of someone who apparently was negligent and that negligence led to the death of others. It doesn't go into detail over the culpability of the driver so it's hard to know what to make of it other than that the sentence was considered too harsh by the songwriter. If the song was based on something that did happen, we would have something to debate because we would have some facts to consider. I like the song quite a bit, partly because of its ambiguity. Had it been a case of blatant injustice, it would have been duller.
@patrickney65847 жыл бұрын
perry12328 I now see that your comment was directed at Patrice, not me. Sorry about that. I figured I'd leave my response, anyway, rather than delete it after realizing I had misunderstood. I agree with your comment, btw, Perry. Sound laws can be questionably applied. In this case, a sentence of 99 years would be unlikely given what we know about the circumstances. I know that I'm Mr. Spocking and ruining an evocative song that should just be enjoyed for what it is.
