Austin, I'm w/you. I like all the Dylan-Grateful Dead crossover stuff. "When I Paint My Masterpiece" - talk about poetry. The original version of that was on Dylan's greatest hits vol. II, btw.

I may be asking for a beating here...but The Grateful Dead's version of "When I Paint My Masterpiece" has always been my favorite Dylan song.

Erni, these are my favorite lines from "Desolation Row":

The Titanic sails at dawn
Everybody's shouting
"Which side are you on ?"
And Ezra Pound and T. S. Eliot
Fighting in the captain's tower
While calypso singers laugh at them
And fishermen hold flowers
Between the windows of the sea
Where lovely mermaids flow
And nobody has to think too much
About Desolation Row.
Yes, I received your letter yesterday
About the time the door knob broke
When you asked me how I was doing
Was that some kind of joke ?
All these people that you mention
Yes, I know them, they're quite lame
I had to rearrange their faces
And give them all another name

Hi Maria, how have been? "Bringing it all back home" - of all the albums for you to have heard - I think people have forgotten it in the US. Isn't "Subterranean Homesick Blues" on that one?
"Don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows" (if you only knew what that started). "The pump don't work 'cause the vandals took the handles." Great to see you Maria F.! - your good friend De Villo

"she's got everything she needs, she's an artist, she don't look back
she's got everything she needs,she's an artist, she don't look back
she can take the dark out of nighttime and paint the daytime black."

=)))))) "bringing it all back home"
was the first album i heard all the way through from 1st track to the last one. it was my first year in the university and first year in big city with music shops everywhere - shopped like maniac.

Thanks Maria, music drives my imagination. Poetry in motion transfered to mailart.
"Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to.
Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
In the jingle jangle morning I'll come followin' you. "
