This is my favorite Traveling Wilbury song. I keep it in my Dylan playlist too. The whole Jersey thing and the wink towards Springsteen with multiple song titles and references hidden throughout the lyrics is genius. Love this so much. And yes, the whole album is awesome. It would be impossible to out super this super group. R.I.P. Roy, George and Tom.

@@MrCome4numb Love them both so much. Mesmerized by Brownsville Girl: "How far are y'all going?" Ruby asked us with a sigh "We're going all the way 'til the wheels fall off and burn 'Til the sun peels the paint and the seat Covers fade and the water moccasin dies." Ruby just smiled and said, "Ah, you know some babies never learn."

To Clarify Why Teeter Was A Effective Shield is Plain & Simple in A Stand Off When a Man Has A Hostage it's Better to Use A Woman because Law Enforcement are Quite Careful She's Not Hurt ! Do Because Teeter Was Crossdressing & Pulling Off Appearance if being Female it Had Dane Effect. Law Enforcement React Differently When the Hostage is Male !

There you go! There’s only one Dylan. Did he write it on the spot, or was he holding onto it for a while, waiting for the right time? They’re great as a group, and their individual personalities come out too. This is similar to “Lily, Rosemary, and the Jack Of Hearts” from ‘Blood On The Tracks’. Roy’s personal song on this album is “Not Alone Any More”.

Dylan and Petty pretty much wrote this whole thing. Harrison and Lynde weren't getting the references and said some thing like "ok this ones too American for us." What's crazy is that they reference Springsteen extra songs that didn't appear until the Tracks release years later.

My take: The undercover cop was the survivor. He was crooked, the line "It was you to me who taught in Jersey anything's legal as long as you don't get caught" is from Jan to Her brother, the cop. Jan, his sister, was hiding in his car so she could confront the Monkey man (Her secret love) because she knew her brother was chasing him. She knocked out her brother and got a gun to take down tweeter (the one who love chose to be with) and the monkey man. Its implied she took her own life by jumping off the bridge afterwards by saying to her brother "I have someplace to go and its best you dont know". The main chorus is foreshadowing of the cop being knocked out "Never saw them when they're standing never saw them when they fell". He woke up to everyone dead, and being a crooked cop took the loot and planning to skip town to Florida to retire in the sun. The last part of the song is him gambling away his money, probably addicted as a coping mechanism, and watching the news as the story starts to die down, but in the end he cant forget.

Shawn, you may as well review this entire first TW album. There are literally NO clunkers on it. In an album full of treasures, 'Tweeter...' is probably my favorite. Certainly one of Dylan's best vocal performances. If you wanna hear more Roy Orbison, you gotta listen to 'Not Alone Any More'.

Thank you so much for getting back to these guys so quickly!! And sorry, after all these years I still have no idea where the story went. But for some reason, at the end when Bob says he thinks about the Monkey Man from time to time, I got the feeling he was talking about his addiction was thinking of him. Being sober now for many years may be the reason I think that. Idk. Either way, it's another epic performance from the group that could do no wrong - musically, that is.😁

If you want to check out more Roy Orbison I would suggest you view "Roy Orbison Black and White Night". It is a concert recorded in a small venue with a lot of special guests like Bruce Springsteen, Drummer Ron Tutt, Bassist Donald "Duck" Dunn, Singers K.D. Laing and Bobbie Raitt and many others I can't remember right now. Can't recommend it enough. All Roy's hits are featured.

I think the song purposely leaves open what happened to Jan tweeter and the monkey Man. Getting used as a shield implies you’re taking bullets, but not explicitly saying. Jen left with a gun, but it doesn’t say who she was talking to best they didn’t know. But I’m pretty sure that the narrator is not one of the characters in the story somebody who knows them all.
