the correct answer is blonde on blonde :wacko:

 

I was thinking that, but frankly "Rainy Day Women" kinda bugs me. For a guy so good at subtlety and wordplay, the whole "EVERYBODY MUST GET STONED!" thing seems kinda, well, juvenile.

I've never really look at the words in that song that closely but I don't think it means only what you think it means.

it's kind of a dumb little circusy song, but it's short, and the rest of the album is an absolute homerun.

true, there's sort of a double-entendre there....talking about being stoned in the new testament, being beat down for standing out sense, juxtaposed with being stoned in the 60s sense. definitely my least favorite song on the album, but there is a little more to it than "hey, woo, let's everybody get stoned!"

So... ever see Dylan play in front of just a handful of people? :wacko:

 

Funny, we were having the "If you could time machine yourself to anywhere, where would it be?" discussion and I said Greenwich Village, 1962 and then San Francisco, 1967.

Dylan ain't exactly a songbird but he could deliver his lyrics with some venom. Hurricane is a great example (although the song was based on a false premise).

 

As for the lyrics, Dylan is #1, everyone else is #2 and below and it's not even close.
