Tues 5/24/05 -- Bob Dylan's B-Day!

[Lightnin' Rod]

You can say "bitch" and that n-word- but you can't say "shit" on the radio.

I thought that exact same thing when the n-word came up...

[urth]

Subterranean Homesick Blues
Silvio
Forever Young (the only song that has probably never appeared in a 10@10 before this)

[mshray]

oo! I'll second that!  You know the story about that, don'cha? It was on its way to becoming Dylan's biggest single in years, but then war broke out in Mozambique and radio stations stopped playing it. It stalled out in the 50s or so in Billboard.

Yep, my favorite all-time #54 song, beating out "And She Was" & "Let's Spend The Night Together".

The war was caused indirectly by the overthrow in Portugal of the world's last fascist regime (originally a puppet of Spain's Franco), and the subsequent withdrawal of all colonial government infrastructures from Angola, Cape Verde & Mozambique.  The Angolan situation is still a mess 30 years on.

Of course, Little Steven played this one Sun nite for obvious reasons :wink:

10-way Tie? What will Big Rick play?? all 10???

The Religious Right: Sure a few women & coloreds might be offended. But, darn it- we've got to protect the kids from profanity. I mean, they hear it on the streets, in their homes and on the playgrounds- why should we subject them to it in music?!

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

That last part was me.

[RGMike]

Stuck around for the "bonus track":  "It's Alright Ma..." Nice choice Annalisa!

kinda ironic that Robert Hunter wrote the lyrics for Silvio!  Did Dave mention that?

And thank you kindly for the blow by blow.  I walked into and out of campus with Desolation Row on my iPod to keep in the spirit, as I parked the car with Like a Rolling Stone blaring, and me wailing out the window!

rap song?:

Once upon a time
You looked so fine, didn't you?

there was indeed a rap version (done as a sort of joke, it seemed to me) about a dozen years ago by a group called The Mystery Tramps.

I looked on iTunes, didn't find the Mystery Tramps, but did find covers by Dino, Desi, and Billy; Micael Bolton; Young Rascals; Judy Collins, The Undisputed Truth; Robyn Hitchcock.

I have vinyl at home of Rotary Connection (w/Minnie Ripperton) doing a cover, and I'd love to find that cassette that I've got a great vesion of Spirit doing it (from their Spirit of '76 album)

Anyone else got a favorite LARS cover?

5/24/05 - Tuesday!  It's Bob Dylan's Birthday!!

Like a Rolling Stone
Times They Are a Changin'
All Along the Watchtower
Rainy Day Women 12 & 35
Tangled Up in Blue
Positively 4th Street
Hurricane
Subterranian Homesick Blues
Silvio
Forever Young

[ggould]

ironic that in Hurricane, they had to edit 'shit' but it's OK to say the n-word.

[upon further review, you all apparently caught this earlier!]

also at the back sell, no mention of Dylan not writing Silvio.

That wild and wacky Dylan!  Two totally different versions of Forever Young on the same album!

[Gazoo]

Caught the replay.  (I'd been on jury duty the past two days, hence my absence from real-time interplay.)  Hard to knock any of Dave's choices, though from this set you'd not know he's recorded in the past 25 years, and so I kind of which Dave had included "Jokerman" and "Things Have Changed" for historical overview.

Mike: How did "Hurricane" do in the NYC market when it came out?  I can't imagine NY/NJ cops took kindly to being called out, and NY in general doesn't seem to like anything that disparages the police ...

Gaz, who isn't much of a "Mozambique" fan, though that just might be the only chart hit with both a "z" and a "q" in the title.

And Dave's played "Forever Young" at least once before; it's on a 1974 set that Alicat recorded for me a year or two ago.
