"I consider myself a poet first and musician second.
I live like a poet and I'll die like a poet."
~ Bob Dylan

Started to post a quote by Kerouac to this thread. I got Dylan and Kerouac mixed up sometimes.
A poetic voice if there ever was one
Dylan doing better at staying forever young.
How the hell did you get so old Jack—so old at the tender age of 47.

Oh, the flowers of indulgence
and the weeds of yesteryear,
Like criminals,
they have choked the breath
of conscience and good cheer

[jimboloco]

tell your ma
don't follow leaders
goin back to arkansas
wa wa i'll be in yer dream
to know which way th wind blows
on maggie's farm
you gotta lotta nerve
on the avenue

"I can't go back to paradise no more cause I killed a man back there".

"Gonna raise me an army, some tough sons of bitches
I'll recruit my army from the orphanages
I been to St. Herman's church, said my religious vows
I've sucked the milk out of a thousand cows"

[Steve Plonk]

As Bobby D. would say:
"Don't follow leaders, watch your parking meters..."
"The pump don't work 'cause the vandals took the handles..."

--Subterranean Homesick Blues

How true for nowadays...parking is going up and there is oil slick in the Gulf. Hey, let's get in line for Bobby D's autograph, if he's in the mood,
the next time he's in town. Last time I saw him was his double billing with
Willie Nelson at our local BellSouth Baseball Field in 2005. Too bad Bob's
not coming to Riverbend Festival. Willie's been at Riverbend twice.
I hope Bobby D. comes back soon. Five years is a long time...We saw him in the rain under a tent. Bob Dylan's the MAN.

She ain't no angel and neither am I"

"while reuben sits like buddha in a 10 foot cell
an innocent man in a living hell."

"I've gone where the Southern crosses The Yellow Dog
Get away from all these demagogues"

[WIREMAN]

"you walk into the room
with a pencil in yer hand
ya see somebody naked
and say, who's that man!"

[WIREMAN]

"up to boot hill they'd
like to send ya, billy
they don't like you
to be so free."

"Thunder on the mountain, rolling like a drum
Gonna sleep over there, that's where the music coming from"
