When you have had enough writing come inside Bob Dylan's Music Box and listen to Every Version of Every song http://thebobdylanproject.com/Song/id/619/Talkin%E2%80%99-New-YorkDavid George Freemanhttp://thebobdylanproject.com/Song/id/619/Talkin%E2%80%99-New-Yorknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2448601238585270507.post-71258887006421274342015-04-10T10:13:22.022-07:002015-04-10T10:13:22.022-07:00His timing and delivery for those tongue-in-cheek ...His timing and delivery for those tongue-in-cheek lines at the end of the verses is just perfect. Excellent restraint. <br /><br /><i><b>"You sound like a hill-billy...........<br />we want folk singers here" </b></i><br /><br />I hadn't played this song in long while but I was researching his early talkin' blues for an article. I began to notice subtle details that set it apart from others like "Talkin World War III Blues". Not an easy song to perform, his future potential shines through.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.folkdope.com" rel="nofollow">Folk Dope</a>Folk Dopehttp://www.folkdope.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2448601238585270507.post-65752672623150924552014-08-23T17:45:04.056-07:002014-08-23T17:45:04.056-07:00Check out Bob Dylan's Greenwich Village.

I forget lyrics at the moment but some inspiration likely came from there as well.Moosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12477658315477210065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2448601238585270507.post-89862076903183144182013-12-02T11:51:26.338-08:002013-12-02T11:51:26.338-08:00Harsh comment, bro!

Surely you're right that Dylan chose his pronunciation of "Greenwich" to emphasize the song's "out of town hick hits the Big Apple" persona. It also seems likely to be a tribute to a former time in his own life that he really didn't know how to pronounce the word.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13897907465365971441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2448601238585270507.post-57713099786738471112010-01-26T12:22:22.970-08:002010-01-26T12:22:22.970-08:00Interesting idea for a blog.

I just happened across it today somehow.<br /><br />Kind of self indulgent (I suppose that's the point with so many blogs, or at least it's the outcome, if not the intention) and not the product of a lot of thought it seems to me.<br /><br />For example: Why does his notable pronunciation of "Greenwich" suggest his talent to you? And if it does, why accuse him of sounding like a five year old? Is that suggestive of talent? For my money, I've always figured it to be a deliberate mispronunciation on Dylan's part because he's somewhat assuming the persona of a trifle green, midwest hick hitting the bit time in NYC. That may be why you feel it suggests his talent, but you don't say so. That's lazy.Mark Laskowskinoreply@blogger.com
