Amazing to me how ahead of his time. Always a step ahead. Our true trubadore. Loved this one when he first released it. Long ago. Meant something to me and many others back then. Listening to it again with new thoughts. It means even more now. Fits like a glove for the economic tricks we keep struggling with, forever it seems. But with current events, I could imagine many question why work so hard to enrich the wealthy, reward the legal criminals, follow the rules, and still lose your house. This song still calls to me, even after all these years. Pertinent.
Just came back from RATM version... I have no words. The geniality of Dylan with the geniality of RATM is pure geniality (i told you i was without words).
I've been to Maggie's farm, it's an incredible place I'm Pueblo or Colorado Springs.... but also the reason I don't work for maggies brother no moe!!!!!!!

Change yourself. Not the job. If not, every job you have, will always be the same. Because you're the same. Change your mentality and improve yourself and your education!
that's HER! the woman in RED! did they get married? I forget. I saw her playing the violin and fell madly in love with her and I noticed Bob kept looking at her on stage all those times. I'm a lovechild of the summer of 69 and mom was watching that special on Netflix and there she was; gothic before there was gothic! so pale with such beautiful long hair. incredible woman! incredible musicians. incredible music that really changed peoples lives for the better.
sally grossman, the wife of albert grossman, that's indeed the woman on the cover. scarlet rivera played the violin on the rolling thunder revue shows and on the "desire" album.
Just deal with it dudes (and ladies)- unless you win the Lottery. If not, that's it, then- in the words of another great, Jim Morrison, after a life of sweating and saving, head for that "shallow grave" (from The Soft Parade)...
Well, he hands you a nickel And he hands you a dime And he asks you with a grin If you're havin' a good time Then he fines you every time you slam the door
My five year old son just told me to play that song, adding it was the best song he ever heard. 😄 I have to add we are from germany, so he doesnt understand the text..
You have God given right to free will, the choice is yours. Besides, if one knows what sin IS, then one knows when hes sinning, so you've made a choice by then to something you already have the answer to, within.
Perhaps, 'MISTAKES' MAYBE THE PATH TO YOUR SIN. YOUR SILENT TIME, IS IN PLACE, AS SO ONE WILL CONTEMPLATE THE CUNNUMDRUNS OF LIFE AS WE KNOW IT, THEN WHILE LIVING DAILY LIFE, WE BEHAVE IN MANNER OF EXAMPLE. NO MISTAKE.
@@danielbarry7081 and, somewhere, someone might need to hear/read what I said. I love Bob Dylan He has been a solid staple in my world.

I'm guessing here, that the universe has my back on this one. Free will is a serious option.
My grandpa always listens to this song on his way to work, then on the way home listens to the Beatles "A Hard Day's Night"😂
He sounds like a right boring old bastard ! 😍
Perfect job routine/routine job soundtrack!
Same
Both classics!
Cool guy
Well, I try my best
To be just like I am

To be just like them
My favorite song verse of all time.
That's got to be one of the most profound things Bob said. And there are tons of them.

@@Frankmt215 just discovered they did a bunch of covers on Renegade album
The whole album is covers if I am not mistaken? Awesome listening for sure!
Dylans lyrics were 40 years ahead of their time. Amazing.
@@austingulick Yeah, Dylan.
Dylan's lyrics are still forty years ahead of most people's time
They’re still ahead of future times!
Timeless I think
@@austingulick listen to some conscious hip hop run the jewels has a lot of music dealing with similar themes
GOAT story teller. Full Stop.
Bob is the best !!
Lyrics are usually secondary in popular music, but not when its Dylan. He's a poet as well as a songwriter.
When they say "We're like a family at this company!" This is what they mean
True that
Someone bumped into Bob in a shop and said 'you don't know me but I know you' Bob said ' let's keep it that way'.
Humbug, nobody knows Bob. Maybe not even the guy himself.
Is a true story ?..it seems like something he'd say..🤣🤣🤣
Love it thank you lolol❤
I think Bobby hated people just love him!!!!❤
How could such a guy be named Bob?
Rebel Music. Thats what this song always has been about for me
Golly at age 73 I still recall the words😮
It's 2021..and this rings true more than ever!
Loved it all those years ago and love it now!
Thanks Bob for an shaping my independence that I will never put down.
glad he wasn't cancelled
But the man is still in charge and it's not Bob
If you liked 2021, you're gonna LOVE 2024.
Noble prize winner fully deserved a good song all ways tell a story Dylan is simply the best
I am Grandpa and I'm still listening to this good rock and roll

Happy 80 Birthday Bob Dylan. Loved you from day one.
This is my favorite Bob Dylan song. Truely great.
The perfect song to listen to on the day you quit.
Too good. Got to see Grateful Dead play this song a few times. Always nice
Woody Guthrie was always in the right groove all the time. Sweet memories of the best time of my life.Thank you for keeping his memory alive.♡♡♡♡♡♡♡
it's 2022 and his music lives on as one of the best songwriter of all time
Dylan thumbs his nose better than anyone. And yes this was punk.
God I love it.
It was folk

Thanks
My favorite song by him!✌️
Love this song. One of its kind
love this song
but maybe not one of its kind
given the musicologist Dylan was at a young age,
I'd be surpriised if he hadn't heard at least the first & likely the second
of the 2 versions of the same (as each other) song below
I'm thinking Maggie's Farm is an updated version tweaking that tale in
Mose's version of Parchment Farm the way Mose did Bukka's version
w/ Dylan's version saying lotta jobs taste as weirdly abusive as prison
except maybe even weirder & yr only crime was needing to work to live
-- sorta like "Born in Chicago" to taste like "I was born in a prison" --
& the boisterous spirit w/ which he's saying "F*k that sh*t" I ain't goin'
which Mose was also clearly saying but in a manner suited to the '50s
more '50s understated instead of '60s electric Dylan's brazen brash tone

The RATM version is there with the Hendrix version of All Along the Watchtower and the Byrds' Mr. Tambourine Man.
Brilliant and so funny!
What I wanna know is what did Maggie do to get hate song about her farm?? 🤣🤣🥰👍

This sounds like a Thomas Benjamin Wild cover of Maggie's Farm and he does it with the full 19th century grammar and etc. I'd pay to see him do that.

So i was thinkinggg about ( in / on/ under..etc( Mary'cause she's so proud¡!
It is my understanding that Mr. Dylan is also reluctant to engage in contractual work obligations with Maggie's siblings and parental entities.
