“…. Now the preacher looked so baffled
When I asked him why he dressed
With twenty pounds of headlines
Stapled to his chest.
But he cursed me when I proved it to him,
Then I whispered, “Not even you can hide.
You see, you’re just like me,
I hope you’re satisfied.”
Oh, Mama, can this really be the end,
To be stuck inside of Mobile
With the Memphis blues again. ….”
—– (from “Stuck Inside of Mobile, With the Memphis Blues Again”, Bob Dylan, 1966)
With all the sins committed with Dylan songs in the last 45 years, I’m sure Dylan couldn’t care less. If this YouTube clip gets one kid to buy “Blonde on Blonde”, it’s worth the price.
