And, to quote Mr Bowie:
I think David Bowie probably summed him up best:
Oh, hear this Robert Zimmerman I wrote a song for you About a strange young man called Dylan With a voice like sand and glue Some words of truthful vengeance They could pin us to the floor Brought a few more people on And put the fear in a whole lot more
Ah, Here she comes Here she comes Here she comes again The same old painted lady From the brow of a superbrain She'll scratch this world to pieces As she comes on like a friend But a couple of songs From your old scrapbook Could send her home again
You gave your heart to every bedsit room At least a picture on the wall And you sat behind a million pair of eyes And told them how they saw Then we lost your train of thought The paintings are all your own While troubles are rising We'd rather be scared Together than alone
Ah, Here she comes Here she comes Here she comes again The same old painted lady From the brow of a superbrain She'll scratch this world to pieces As she comes on like a friend But a couple of songs From your old scrapbook Could send her home again
Aoo
Now hear this Robert Zimmerman Though I don't suppose we'll meet Ask your good friend Dylan If he'd gaze a while down the old street Tell him we've lost his poems So they're writing on the walls Give us back our unity Give us back our family You're every nation's refugee Don't leave us with their sanity
Ah, Here she comes Here she comes Here she comes again The same old painted lady From the brow of a superbrain She'll scratch this world to pieces As she comes on like a friend But a couple of songs From your old scrapbook Could send her home again Come on A couple of songs From your old scrapbook Could send her home again Oh, here she comes, (oh) here she comes Oh, here she comes (oh)
Amen

>a voice like sand and glue
just slightly off-topic, I've always been attracted to gravel-voiced singers who can't quite carry a tune -- Dylan, Tom Waits, Jerry Jeff Walker (the original outlaw of country?), Mark Knopfler (Dire Straits)... I've never been able to actually explain this.

Ah, at last I've discovered someone who, by his own definition, must like Johnny Cash!

To quote Mr Dylan himself, "mmfmmmgl mm gmmbl gmmgbl llbmmbl."
Cap K responds : Oh, you too, Sparteye?
Me too, you two!
Gravel-voices I can enjoy but it bothers me when singers do not have enough respect for their listeners to e-nun-ci-ate.
