No, I've been listening to him since the 60s. Sadly, it's one of my favourites. As we stand on the precipice of an unstoppable disaster, i myself appreciate what we have and savor every day of peace.
This song always makes me smile. Psychiatric couch. Thought I was a Communist. In my Cadillac. She said that for over an hour and I hung up. I didn't see you around. I said that. I love this song.
The American writer Cormac McCarthy made a self-portrait and inscribed the "them old dreams were only in your head" part on it. Wish I had known earlier it was from this song.
He also had that matching fake voice and accent you can hear going away gradually over the first few albums. He even had this whole series of undoubtedly made up tall tales about where he came from and what he experienced that he told early interviewers in his made up voice, which I think is both hilarious and wonderful. I guess telling people you were a nice jewish kid from Minnesota might have broken the fantasy a bit. Still, it is kind of endearing how possessed he was. Oh to have been a fly on the wall the first time he heard Woody, and to have seen his reaction.
@@MarkoBotsaris it is a bit comical and more so when I consider he was helped so much by Ramblin Jack Elliott, an older Woody disciple who was himself a nice Jewish guy from NYC playing cowboy. I guess you just pretend you’re the most interesting guy in the room until you actually are 😂 It worked in their case!
@@calebbasile2219 And eventually other people, even an early Bruce Springsteen, start channeling YOU. But if Bob wrote a book where he retold and embellished all his old stories about jumping freight trains and so on I'd buy it in an instant.🤣
I had not listened to this before, & it i'm glad i did! This one, despite the title, is quite upbeat & actually has a humourous schtick to it. The harp playing is especially crisp & clear, & he sounds great. I also just happened to have listened to "Masters of War" for what i believe was the first time (& that one is actually stone cold serious, even dirge like)-- an incredible, & still relevant todate ( woefully, sorrowfully so) brilliant, & sobering song. I kind of came here at 1st looking for the song attached to lyrics attributed to Dylan (by a commenter on a site about the Ypres soldiers monuments) - the lines were something about "WWI," actually but i haven't found it yet. Not sure if it's even correctly attributable to Dylan. But it got me here, & i needed both these songs today. Thank you, you luminary, Bob, you. So very, very, much.
with god on our side - the 1st world war came and went, the reason for fighting i never did get, but i learned to accept it with pride, cus you dont count the dead with god on your side
Every song every album quintessential to everyone who’s affection dragged them through hell and expectations met but never saw appreciation for it If I was freezing to death or in extreme humidity there’s a bob Dylan song for that gettin stepped on is all right but not all the time we started it we’ll end it
This song is fucking awesome!! I heard it as a child. ( my dad was The biggest Dylan fan & he was a legend in my house growing up.. But this song & Bear Mountain Picnic - fuck there's much more- that I still listen to and laugh my ass off. Bob Dylan was an insane, brilliant & master of words / lyrics...timeless. Truly unique.

What a great song about paranoia, just as true as it was back then - unfortunately more up-to-date than one would like to admit. Putin does not endure any other dreams than his own, he even kills to destroy all other dreams. As a teenager, Bob Dylan clearly analyzed the cause, he probably never needed a psychiatrist, smart as a wise old man in his early work, unbeatable with feather-light poetry. We should trust each other, shake hands, paradise can be anywhere, anytime, let's be Adam and Eve, share our dreams. A successful tour Mr Dylan
Putin is a murderous thug. He has videos on Tik Tok loving dogs and children as he kills dogs and children with bombs in Ukraine. Your msg so right. I think Freewheeling is Dylan's best work.... Ok it all is.. Peace
@@drebyrd54 The occasion is of course the cuba crisis - no doubt. But the problem is : how you handle it personal, you know I live in Europe and we got a war since february last year. The first thing that get lost in times of war is truth, dignity.- because propaganda all is phony. And fears can drive you into paranoia, you must realize , how Bob tell us in thst song ,that nobody is alone, If we share our dreams and hopes so we can find a personal way to live on. World War three must not start in our heads.
The girl on the cover picture passed away a year or two ago. I think she was 67, a dedicated community activist in the same neighborhood of NYC where the photo was taken.

Before you start saying russia invaded ukraine remember that those bastards in ukraine rounded up 1,6 million ukraine jewish people in world war two and handed them over to the germans. Think before opening your stupid mouth.
No I didn't listen because world War 3 is coming, rather because it's an amazingly funny and relevant song, no matter the generation. Every generation every one thinks the end is nigh. Well wtfk??

I had a night terror last night. Didn't think I'd make it through the day. Pops told me to listen to this song. I'm healed. 😅😅
' Peace time is War time in slow motion,'
Arthur Koestler said that.

Came to this song due to recent events. Bob will save us. :D

He grabbed my arm, I said, “Ouch!”
As I landed on the psychiatric couch
He said, “Tell me about it”
Well, the whole thing started at 3 o’clock fast
It was all over by quarter past
I was down in the sewer with some little lover
When I peeked out from a manhole cover
Wondering who turned the lights on
Well, I got up and walked around
And up and down the lonesome town
I stood a-wondering which way to go
I lit a cigarette on a parking meter and walked on down the road
It was a normal day
Well, I rung the fallout shelter bell
And I leaned my head and I gave a yell
“Give me a string bean, I’m a hungry man”
A shotgun fired and away I ran
I don’t blame them too much though, he didn't know me
Down at the corner by a hot-dog stand
I seen a man
I said, “Howdy friend, I guess there’s just us two”
He screamed a bit and away he flew
Thought I was a Communist
Well, I spied a girl and before she could leave
“Let’s go and play Adam and Eve”
I took her by the hand and my heart it was thumpin’
When she said, “Hey man, you crazy or something?
You see what happened last time they started”
🎵🎶🎵🎶
Well, I seen a Cadillac window uptown
And there was nobody aroun’
I got into the driver’s seat
And I drove down 42nd Street
In my Cadillac. Good car to drive after a war
Well, I remember seein’ some ad
So I turned on my Conelrad
But I didn’t pay my Con Ed bill
So the radio didn’t work so well
Turned on my record player-
It was Rock-a-day Johnny singin’, “Tell Your Ma, Tell Your Pa
Our Love’s A-gonna Grow Ooh-wah, Ooh-wah”
I was feelin’ kinda lonesome and blue
I needed somebody to talk to
So I called up the operator of time
Just to hear a voice of some kind
“When you hear the beep it will be three o’clock”
She said that for over an hour
And I hung up
Well, the doctor interrupted me just about then
Sayin’, “Hey I’ve been havin’ the same old dreams
But mine was a little different you see
I dreamt that the only person left after the war was me
I didn’t see you around”
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 of the people can’t be all right all of the time
I think Abraham Lincoln said that
“I’ll let you be in my dreams if I can be in yours”

Ah I know the song now. Cale's irrelevant here but feck, listen to the song anyway if yous want to.

exactly
Yup
ww3 will end as soon as it will begin. Easy come, easy go.

This song is about how it's end so no

World War 3 brought me here
Some time ago a crazy dream came to me
I dreamt I was walkin’ into World War Three
I went to the doctor the very next day
To see what kinda words he could say
He said it was a bad dream
I wouldn’t worry ’bout it none, though
They were my own dreams and they’re only in my head
I said, “Hold it, Doc, a World War passed through my brain”
He said, “Nurse, get your pad, this boy’s insane”
He grabbed my arm, I said, “Ouch!”
As I landed on the psychiatric couch
He said, “Tell me about it”
Well, the whole thing started at 3 o’clock fast
It was all over by quarter past
I was down in the sewer with some little lover
When I peeked out from a manhole cover
Wondering who turned the lights on
Well, I got up and walked around
And up and down the lonesome town
I stood a-wondering which way to go
I lit a cigarette on a parking meter and walked on down the road
It was a normal day
Well, I rung the fallout shelter bell
And I leaned my head and I gave a yell
“Give me a string bean, I’m a hungry man”
A shotgun fired and away I ran
I don’t blame them too much though, I know I look funny
Down at the corner by a hot-dog stand
I seen a man
I said, “Howdy friend, I guess there’s just us two”
He screamed a bit and away he flew
Thought I was a Communist
Well, I spied a girl and before she could leave
“Let’s go and play Adam and Eve”
I took her by the hand and my heart it was thumpin’
When she said, “Hey man, you crazy or sumpin’
You see what happened last time they started”
Well, I seen a Cadillac window uptown
And there was nobody aroun’
I got into the driver’s seat
And I drove down 42nd Street
In my Cadillac. Good car to drive after a war
Well, I remember seein’ some ad
So I turned on my Conelrad
But I didn’t pay my Con Ed bill
So the radio didn’t work so well
Turned on my record player-
It was Rock-a-day Johnny singin’, “Tell Your Ma, Tell Your Pa
Our Love’s A-gonna Grow Ooh-wah, Ooh-wah”
I was feelin’ kinda lonesome and blue
I needed somebody to talk to
So I called up the operator of time
Just to hear a voice of some kind
“When you hear the beep it will be three o’clock”
She said that for over an hour
And I hung up
Well, the doctor interrupted me just about then
Sayin’, “Hey I’ve been havin’ the same old dreams
But mine was a little different you see

“I’ll let you be in my dreams if I can be in yours”
I said that
Tell me about it.
It was a normal (nominal) day
Is a good song to hear on the eve of a new stage of the cold war (with russia invading ukraine)
Ukraina was invaded by USA and NATO first
Buh, buh, Reagan destroyed the Berlin wall. Cold War is over, right?
Before you start saying russia invaded ukraine remember that those bastards in ukraine rounded up 1,6 million ukraine jewish people in world war two and handed them over to the germans. Think before opening your stupid mouth.
No I didn't listen because world War 3 is coming, rather because it's an amazingly funny and relevant song, no matter the generation.
Every generation every one thinks the end is nigh.
Well wtfk??
That or
Scarily the doctor could be any political leader of today
Why does he sing with no spaces
like light let's seeing
Send to Putin
YASS someone that knows Putin send this to him
You do realise it's been possible for nigh on 80 years now and it hasn't happened yet, so why should the thought even enter your stratosphere?
🇮🇪🤝🇺🇦
I am so sorry you can't be bothered to listen to people like me. A little beneath ya, surely and your high and mighty stature.
It is possible. Do you think the generation born after 1980 has an existential fear of nuclear war?
So why can't you even move a finger? Was there an "accident"?
I said "ouch" already. Boardwalk Empire. Manhole cover put in place again.
OUR LOVE IS GONNA GROW…WORLD WAR
Now im worried about WW4
WW3 hasn’t happened yet
Ah fuck
I am here because Joe Biden
And away he flew. Thought I was a communist.
💀
Sigh…
Give Obiden, Soros, and the rest and we'll be there.
the more russia is hurt the more lethal it can be, until the last moment, as far as i know. though ukraine deserves none of this. hope it ends well.
