Dylan is a Mount Rushmore-level icon. Early 60s coffee house beatniks listened to folk music songs about politics and social issues while the leather clad gear heads had rock songs about girls and cars. Dylan brought those two worlds together. Hard to imagine there would have ever been hippies without Dylan songs like Blowin' in the Wind. Definitely not just another artist, he's a cultural landmark

And when people try to dissect Dylan's lyrics I think Bob is amused even if he pretends not to be. They're personal to him and he'll never talk. Having said that this song was supposedly about a New York City socialite that Dylan was in love with that got caught up in Andy Warhol and his strange circle. She became addicted to heroin and died young. Warhol is believed to be the Napoleon in rags referenced.

Loving a singer is mostly a matter of taste, so its not worth arguing about. Dylan's voice, IMHO, stinks and detracts greatly from the performance of his songs. They make me hit another button on my car radio whenever I hear the first note of any of them. I've never understood the adoration he's given by a segment of the music-listening community.

Bob Dylan was so advanced, and such a great songwriter that in the early 60's he influenced the Beatles to expand their songwriting from catchy love songs to more introspective and sociological themes. At the same time, the Beatles showed him that mature songwriting could expand into the pop and rock & roll realms. This was the key to the cultural revolution that took place in the 60's. His great early folk songs like "Blowing In The Wind", "The Times They Are A' Changin'", and "The Lonesome Death Of Hattie Carroll" dealt with war and civil rights, and his later stuff like "Tangled Up In Blue" and "Forever Young" are filled with wisdom and emotion. Other masterpieces are "Mr. Tambourine Man" and "I Shall Be Released". The list goes on and on. He's a true genius!

It seems Bob had a bit of trouble hearing their lyrics clearly over the noise of the screaming beatlemaniacs. When they sang "I can't hide," in I Want to Hold Your Hand, Bob heard, "I get high." In the late '80s he was a bandmate with George on a couple albums, along with Jeff Lynn, Tom Petty, Roy Orbison, and Jim Keltner in The Traveling Wilburys.

Hard truths and rebirth. (Yes I thought about this a lot lol. It's my favorite song.)

Sad and brilliant song about the late Edie Sedgwick. She was born rich, raised in an extremely controlled and unhealthy way by a distant and disturbed father, who kept her in and out of mental institutions for her eating disorders for many years. When she finally went out on her own, she hooked up with artist Andy Warhol, also not a healthy individual, and became a model. When they parted ways, she moved into the building Bob Dylan was living in and became part of the crowd that accumulated around him. By now she had a bad drug habit. She moved back home to California, went into rehab, got clean, and married a man she met in rehab. When she was injured, a doctor prescribed pain medication, she began using drugs and alcohol again and died of an overdose at age 28. She never truly had an anchor. Bob Dylan received a Nobel Prize for literature for his song lyrics. He's a genius at writing. This is widely agreed to be the best rock song ever written. You should listen to Hard Rain's Gonna Fall. The imagery will make your eyes pop out.
@lisaw5604

Beautifully written and summarized! I do think sometimes no one remembers that this song is about Edie and her relationship with Warhol. Warhol used her connections and talents and then threw her away. Dylan hated the Warhol scene and saw him for what he was... An exploiter. He wrote two other songs about her as well... A muse till the end.

I am so glad you listened to this. Yes, Bob Dylan "wrote his own lyrics." He won the Nobel Prize for Literature for his decades of accumulated song lyrics, actually. This song is from 1965, when Bob Dylan was 24 years old. It is said be about a friend of his, a wealthy young woman named Edie Sedgwick who became an actress and superstar fashion model. She popularized mini-skirts, mini-dresses, and black leotards with black tights; wore heavy eye makeup, and bleached her hair silver. She had a troubled psychiatric history (as did other members of her family), suffered from anorexia, and was addicted to drugs and alcohol. Also in 1965, she starred in Andy Warhol's avant-garde film, "Poor Little Rich Girl," and there was a general feeling among her friends and fans that she was doomed. She died in 1971, about 6 years after this song was released, of an overdose of alcohol and barbiturates. She was 28 years old.

The closest he came to his glory days was Tangled Up in Blue, and even here, he is feeding off his own past....after Blonde on Blonde, Dylan could conjure up the old magic only here and there....and it was great magic!

I'm reading Al Kooper's autobiography, Backstage Passes And Backstabbing Bastards. He says he was invited to a Dylan recording session just to watch, but he was determined to get involved, so he brought along his guitar, intending to get involved. When Mike Bloomfield turned up and started playing though, Al realised he was totally outclassed so he put his guitar away and sat in the control room. Then the organist was put on piano instead. Al waited until no one was watching and went and sat at the organ. He knew enough piano to be able to form the chords, but he'd never played an organ before. Luckily the guy who left it hadn't turned it off. Yes there is a slight delay in his changes, as he was watching the guitarist to know which chord to go to next. Dylan heard the organ and demanded, rightly, that it be turned up in the mix. The rest is history. On the strength of his work on that one groundbreaking massive hit, he began a career as an organist, and went on to form Blood, Sweat and Tears.

These effects were huge breakthrough at the time and influenced everything and everyone coming after. A watershed moment in music creativity. This was hugely discussed for years.

@@Hexon66An Emmy is an award for the best in many categories given by the an American television association. Bob Dylan did not win one as far as I know. Emmylou Harris recorded with Dylan on the "Desire" album.

Dylan is as iconic as it gets. He's beyond iconic. Yes, he does write his own lyrics, and was recently awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature for his lyrics.

The drum beat...the opening chords...and It's 1965 again. Real good feeling.

Bob Dylan is in his own category. There's Dylan, then there's everyone else. This is his seventh decade of creating masterpieces, and he is still on his Neverending Tour.

"Hurricane" is one of his most powerful songs and even though it's eight minutes long well worth the listen. It came out in 1975 and deals with the same issues going on today.

The day this was released here in the UK, a friend 'obtained' it from the record shop and we spent hours listening to it. Over and over and it is seared into my memory. I was 14 and this was completely different from anything we had heard before. Everything - lyrics, voice, accompaniment and arrangement - was just mind blowing. A genius.
