Skipping reels of rhyme
Somebody asked Bob Dylan what his songs were about one time . . .
His answer was, "Oh, some are about four minutes; some are about five, and some, believe it or not, are about eleven or twelve."

love that picture, looks like it is from the "times" photo shoot just like my poster - in my mind that is the best set of pictures of him.
"But when the shadowy sun sets on the one
That fired the gun
He'll see by his grave
On the stone that remains
Carved next to his name
His epitaph plain:
Only a pawn in their game."

Great stuff, alright. one of his best verses though, is this one from Love Minus Zero/No Limit:
In the dime stores and bus stations,
People talk of situations,
Read books, repeat quotations,
Draw conclusions on the wall.
Some speak of the future,
My love she speaks softly,
She knows there's no success like failure
And that failure's no success at all.
11:00 AM
Ah yes, but how about this?
Then take me disappearin' through the smoke rings of my mind,
Down the foggy ruins of time, far past the frozen leaves,
The haunted, frightened trees, out to the windy beach,
Far from the twisted reach of crazy sorrow.
Yes, to dance beneath the diamond sky with one hand waving free,
Silhouetted by the sea, circled by the circus sands,
With all memory and fate driven deep beneath the waves,
Let me forget about today until tomorrow.
Hey, Mr Tambourine man, play a song for me . . .
8:47 PM
or even just
It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.
9:58 PM
Great pic.
Suddenly I turned around and she was standin' there
With silver bracelets on her wrists and flowers in her hair.
She walked up to me so gracefully and took my crown of thorns.
"Come in," she said,
"I'll give you shelter from the storm."

wowie. pretty scary.

My turn again:
They say that patriotism is the last refuge
To which a scoundrel clings.
Steal a little and they throw you in jail,
Steal a lot and they make you king.
There's only one step down from here, baby,
It's called the land of permanent bliss.
What's a sweetheart like you doin' in a dump like this?
Why do all my favorite songs have long lines?
3:48 PM
Or Even:
Well, the Lone Ranger and Tonto
They are ridin' down the line
Fixin' ev'rybody's troubles
Ev'rybody's 'cept mine
Somebody musta tol' 'em
That I was doin' fine
--This song was written in the United States you know.
3:55 PM
one of my favorites.....
Come mothers and fathers
throughout the land
and don't criticize
what you can't understand.
Your sons and your daughters
are beyond your command.
Your old road is Rapidly agin'.
Please get out of the new one
If you can't lend your hand--
For the times they are a-changin'.
xo
4:06 PM
and also--
I'm hanging in the balance
of a perfect finished plan....
Like every sparrow fallin'
Like every grain of sand.
yeah. I like him. Don't believe everything I say.

Ah, but I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now.
4:13 PM
May your hands always be busy,
May your feet always be swift,
May you have a strong foundation
When the winds of changes shift.
May your heart always be joyful,
May your song always be sung,
May you stay forever young,
Forever young, forever young,
May you stay forever young.
4:27 PM
Or Evan's new favorite --
Well, now time passed and now it seems
Everybody's having them dreams.
Everybody sees themselves walkin' around with no one else.
Half of the people can be part right all of the time,
Some of the people can be all right part of the time.
But all the people can't be all right all the time
I think Abraham Lincoln said that.
"I'll let you be in my dreams if I can be in yours,"
I said that.
6:33 PM
now it's my turn
Now the moon is almost hidden
The stars are beginning to hide
The fortunetelling lady
Has even taken all her things inside
All except for Cain and Abel
And the hunchback of Notre Dame
Everybody is making love
Or else expecting rain
And the Good Samaritan, he's dressing
He's getting ready for the show
He's going to the carnival tonight
On Desolation Row
6:56 PM
How 'bout this one
Might like to wear cotton, might like to wear silk,
Might like to drink whiskey, might like to drink milk,
You might like to eat caviar, you might like to eat bread,
You may be sleeping on the floor, sleeping in a king-sized bed
But you're gonna have to serve somebody, yes indeed
You're gonna have to serve somebody,
Well, it may be the devil or it may be the Lord
But you're gonna have to serve somebody.
8:20 PM
I see a lot of people
as I make the rounds
And I hear her name here and there
as I go from town to town
And I've never gotten used to it,
I've just learned to turn it off
Either I'm too sensitive
or else I'm gettin' soft.
8:27 PM
Or this --
When the evening shadows and the stars appear
And there is no one there to dry your tears
I could hold you for a million years
To make you feel my love
And when Derek Webb and Sandra McCracken are singing it . . . mmmm . . .
11:00 PM
This could go on forever.
11:02 PM
One last verse
There's beauty in the silver, singin' river,
There's beauty in the sunrise in the sky,
But none of these and nothing else can touch the beauty
That I remember in my true love's eyes.
Yes, and only if my own true love was waitin',
Yes, and if I could hear her heart a-softly poundin',
Only if she was lyin' by me,
Then I'd lie in my bed once again.
irrespective of your choice (Dylan or Nickel Creek) this is a good song
and you are right Ellen, this could just go on...
