Happy 85th Birthday Bob Dylan/post fav lyric
The lyric from Desolation Row: “Everyone is making love or else expecting rain” well sums up the two extremes of human experience.
That’s tough because many are so good

as to become cliche- “ How many roads must man walk down before you call him a man“ - you lose appreciation for the writer because of the ubiquity of the words. “To be or not to be” is damn good writing, but hard to hear de novo. But mine is probably “He not busy being born is busy dying”
Almost every verse of “Tombstone Blues”

I love that song so much. A new book of the bible for the 20th century USA.

“Tell me great hero, but please make it brief:
Is there a hole for me to get sick in?”
The rhyme takes a few more lines to show up:
“And dropping a barbell, he points to the sky,
saying ‘The sun’s not yellow, it’s chicken’”
Then there’s Outlaw Blues:
“I may look like Robert Ford, but I feel just like-a Jesse James”
To say he rewards repeated listening is an understatement of epic proportions.
You’d know what a drag it is to see you. Positively 4th St.

My favorite lyric (currently) is probably
“The man in me will hide sometimes to keep from being seen
But that’s just because he doesn’t wanna turn into some machine”
I rewatched The Big Lebowski recently, what a perfect lyric for a damn near perfect movie. But there are so many, aren’t there?
