ya know, my daddy had a saying. "if i was as smart as you when i was 18, i'd have been somebody by now."
i don't think he had in mind quite the same sentiment expressed in this song, but it was quite a few years before i realize it wasn't just crazy old man talk.
like when i'm at work and i ask the young bucks, "do you know what you're doing?" and they confidently express "of course" or "better than you do old man." but when i ask the old guys, they exclaim "i have no fuck'n idea." which, is of course the correct answer.
hey, that's bob dylan.
ReplyDeletegod, he was so amazing.
even hendrix's best songs were dylan songs.
