It's surprising that the very first line ("Go 'way from my window") did not make people consider that the American flag was what Dylan was talking about, something confirmed beyond any reasonable doubt a little later with "Go lightly from the ledge, babe".

Mark...Thank you Mark and Angelo for the kind words. Mark, nice to have another English major in here. Angelo, if you go to Amazon.com you can get Clinton Heylin's Dylan biography, which is well worth the read (even though I disagree with his opinions more and more, his biography details are unparalleled).<BR/><BR/>dianes, I see where you're coming from w/r/t the song. And yes, I think Dylan had a great deal of courage in going into a new direction. But I can't think that he wrote only for himself; IMO, music written for public consumption will almost always be written with more than just yourself in mind as an audience. The Basement Tapes are an exception, since they weren't supposed to be released until the Great White Wonder folks forced Dylan's hand.<BR/><BR/>andrew!, nice to see you posting again. I think you're being a tad harsh on Another Side, but I also see where you're coming from; most of the songs have been done up very well in a live setting by Bob and his various bands. You basically described a constant struggle I have with the acoustic albums; I like the songs, but they can occasionally not sound fully formed.<BR/><BR/>Anonymous, thanks for the kind words. I honestly should start putting up more mp3s, if only to increase site traffic. :D Seriously, though, I wanted to do that more often, but I don't have physical copies of many of my bootlegs, so pulling up mp3s can be a bit of a pain. The Subterranean Homesick Blues entry is just screaming for an 88 version; I may have to find one at some point to put up there.Tonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12613923038816299394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2448601238585270507.post-33521623927776892312008-10-24T14:04:00.000-07:002008-10-24T14:04:00.000-07:00This site is pretty cool.Did you ever think about ...This site is pretty cool.<BR/><BR/>Did you ever think about posting a mp3 of each song you cover from one of the bootlegs (either live or from the Genuine Bootleg Series, studio outtakes, etc.)? <BR/><BR/>You couldn't find one for every song, but for most of them you could post something cool. <BR/><BR/>Just a thought, that you probably already thought of, but I'm just throwing it out there. <BR/><BR/>Keep up the good work.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2448601238585270507.post-53255071278235685712008-10-23T18:29:00.000-07:002008-10-23T18:29:00.000-07:00I was listening to the Live '75 version of thi...I was listening to the Live '75 version of this song the other day & realized that I hadn't read too much about Another Side. <BR/><BR/>It Ain't Me, Babe from this album is the perfect example of why I hardly ever listen to this album. Sure, it's a classic & it would make just about anybody's Greatest Hits compilation. But for me, there's too many great live versions for me to listen to the original & not wish I was listening to a live version. The same can be said for many of the songs on Another Side. The album is a great blueprint for these songs, but I think many of them hadn't been fully realized yet. It's as if Bob was itching to play with a band & couldn't get this album over with to get to the next one.andrew!https://www.blogger.com/profile/05821924786524802006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2448601238585270507.post-41821263149513446352008-10-23T14:03:00.000-07:002008-10-23T14:03:00.000-07:00I have a different take on this song.

Something that no one could do.<BR/><BR/>She wants unconditional suppport (right or wrong) from a man who doesn't tolerate hypocracy or fools well. She wants to own him body and soul - not only to have him at her beck and call but to have him close his eyes and heart as well. <BR/><BR/>"In the end, no matter how hard you try to please yourself, your audience is who you're really trying to please, and if you can't do it, then you're in trouble." <BR/><BR/>But this is not what Dylan felt. He played for himself and let the audience follow or not. And new audiences keep coming. I admire that someone that young could have the confidence to ignore expectations and follow his own heart.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2448601238585270507.post-86587861432649575552008-10-21T09:08:00.000-07:002008-10-21T09:08:00.000-07:00It's a grateful pleasure to read all your opinions...It's a grateful pleasure to read all your opinions.<BR/>I'm from Brazil and starts knowing Dylan albums only this year! <BR/>I'm working hard to obtain more and more details about his career, specially the older albums and your blog is very, very good.

Music is something that is very important to me and something I write about quite a bit in various forms, mostly creative non-fiction although a few short stories as well. Looking at this blog from the view of a writer, I appreciate the way you approach Dylan and his music with respect and depth. It is refreshing to read a blog that is not just superficial cotton candy. So yeah, keep up the good work, I enjoy reading it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
