I do however feel that I am rather skeptical to dig deeper. I just hate harmonicas too much. I read about Bob Dylan in April of 1981, and was right up my alley as he wanted to march to his own drum, and not please his parents's wishes when his heart wasn't in it, and how he started the thing called protest music because he was disenchanted with the injustice of the Murder of Emment Brown 8 years earlier. However, all Dylan wanted to do was play, and not be cast into a box. When he went a different direction with "Another Side Of Bob Dylan" the protesters, and folk purists got all over him. I know the music I first heard was really horrible stuff....for starters I couldn't get past his voice, and how bad it sounded. His best vocal work was done a few years later on "Nashville Skyline". It wasn't until I heard the song "Positively 4th Street" that he caught my attention, and so did Pat. "Positively 4th Street" is a non l.p. single that made the top 10 at the end of 1965, and the lyrics still got me puzzled as the fact there's talking about the rich bored housewives, or a shallow girl who only pretends to like him for his music, but not ready to give up her sercurity of practicality. Well meaning her parents feel Dylan's demon possessed, and if she wants to stay under thier roof get rid of the Dylan records. I have no idea what 4th street he's talking about here?, or if it's a metaphor for "Rich and Affluent". The rest of the music is really terrible the worst being "Rainy Day Women #12&35", "I Want You" "Just Like A Woman", and "Mr. Tambourine Man". As I said it's the harmonica thing.
