“Hey man, whoever you are, what you been up to?”
I once met Bob Dylan, or should I say he
once met me. The Night I Met Bob Dylan, by John Anderson. (From Coudal)
I’m not greedy, but there ain’t no place to retire to.
Hey Mr. Alan Greenspan, play along with me,
An’ my IRA will soar with boneheads followin’ you.
Take me to the room where you guys all
decide the rates,
With no public debates, you cast away our fates,
Waitin’ only for the networks to come fawnin,
The business cycle threatens me, you try to push and pull,
You feed us loads of bull, you really are just full.
Of it and most of us investors sit here yawnin'.
Rubin Carter, a motivational speaker
(Graphic above from Obamicon)

May God bless and keep you always
May your wishes all come true,
May you always do for others
And let others do for you.
May you build a ladder to the stars
And climb on every rung,
May you stay forever young,
Forever young, forever young,
May you stay forever young
May you grow up to be righteous,
May you grow up to be true,
May you always know the truth
And see the lights surrounding you.
May you always be courageous,
Stand upright and be strong,
May you stay forever young,
Forever young, forever young,
May you stay forever young
May your hands always be busy,
May your feet always be swift,
May you have a strong foundation
When the winds of changes shift.
May your heart always be joyful,
May your song always be sung,
May you stay forever young,
Forever young, forever young,
May you stay forever young
(From Milk & Cookies)

Johnny Winter at Dylan's birthday party, Madison Square Garden 10/16/92
Now the rovin' gambler he was very bored
He was tryin' to create a next world war
He found a promoter who nearly fell off the floor
He said I never engaged in this kind of thing before
But yes I think it can be very easily done
We'll just put some bleachers out in the sun
And have it on Highway 61

I ain't gonna work for Maggie's brother no more.
No, I ain't gonna work for Maggie's brother no more.
Well, he hands you a nickel,
He hands you a dime,
He asks you with a grin
If you're havin' a good time,
Then he fines you every time you slam the door.
I ain't gonna work for aggie's brother no more. (From Bicoastal)

The Last day
One of those damn, cold mornings
Possibly in the next impeachment cycle
You’ll get up before the market opens
In the big house at the end of the road
And after brewing your lonely cappuccino
You’ll fire up your shiny laptop
To see ‘what’s happening in the world today’
And Drudge or Huffington or whoever it may be
Will kick you in your stomach right then & there
Informing you that Robert Allen Zimmerman, the lucky Wilbury, is dead at 68
Maybe in a private plane crash
Or maybe in a drive-by shooting
Or locked up in a prison cell
Or in a memorial hospital in El-A’
Or of too much love, or too much touring or of any other cause
But you’ll know that the other half of your life is now over as well
And there’s no one left to remember
And no one left to look up to
And the next one going away is you

When Dylan got the Beatles high
"Bob Meets The Beatles" is Episode 22 of The Meth Minute cartoon series. This one takes us back in time to a milestone moment in rock history: the day Bob Dylan first smoked up the Beatles. It got weird in that room. Directed by Dan Meth (Creator of Nite Fite. Background about the significance of that moment on Phawker. For that, he is going to be damned and punished in Hell)

“My friend’s wife is a really bad cook. I broke a tooth on her coffee”
“America is certainly the great melting pot. Where else could someone like Slim Gaillard sing a tribute to matzoh balls and gefilte fish? It’s the kind of thing that makes me proud to be an American. Sing it, Slim.”
People have long wondered what goes on in Bob Dylan’s mind. But if you pay attention to what he says and plays on his XM satellite-radio program, Theme Time Radio Hour, you can actually get a pretty good idea. Inside Dylan’s brain. (From J-Walk)

I was sleepin' like a rat
When I heard something jerkin'.
There stood Rita
Lookin' just like Tony Perkins
She said, "Would you like to take a shower?
I'll show you up to the door."
I said, "Oh, no! no!
I've been through this before."
I knew I had to split
But I didn't know how,
When she said,
"Would you like to take that shower, now?"
Film Dialogue in Dylan’s Lyrics. References to particular films and fragments of film dialogue are scattered throughout the lyrics of Bob Dylan’s songs, particularly in the 1985 album Empire Burlesque. I have attempted to compile these snatches from the songs and cite the original film dialogue, although some of the quotes may be coincidental rather than deliberate, using phrases that have passed into common usage

Explanation of The Traveling Wilburys's Tweeter and the Monkey Man
Tweeter and the Monkey Man were hard up for cash
They stayed up all night selling cocaine and hash
To an undercover cop who had a sister named Jan
For reasons unexplained she loved the Monkey Man
Tweeter was a boy scout before she went to Vietnam
And found out the hard way nobody gives a damn
They knew that they found freedom just across the Jersey Line
So they hopped into a stolen car took Highway 99
And the walls came down all the way to hell
Never saw them when they're standing
Never saw them when they fell
