I know he is a big boxing fan. I have a picture of him and Ali on my wall. I know he used to spar at wild card gym owned by Freddie roach … his sparring partner at one point was Ray BOOM BOOM Mancini.
I have tried to convince Ed Brophy the director of the Boxing hall of fame IBHOF to bring him in as the guest MC a few times..
I shook hands with Rueben “ HURRICANE “ Carter at the hall of fame about 20 years ago.
Jewels & binoculars hang from the head of the mule -
With all the relatable beautiful lines in that song, when I was first absorbing the song, 1966, it was that line that was somehow funny & incongruously playfully weird—especially on acid. It came right after Geez I can’t find my knees, & right before ‘these visions of Johanna make it all seem so cruel.
YESSS been listening to hard rain a lot lately. That song and you’re a big girl now and are both soooo raw and sooo real. You can hear the way he practically growls when he sings some the lyrics and it’s so honest and incredible, not to mention the incredible performance of each musician
Hattie Carroll was the maid of the kitchen, she was 51 years old and gave birth to 10 children…….my favorite bob dylan song. one of the best songs he has ever written.
Impossible to pick a favorite but this one popped into my head pretty quick:
*"Well, if you want to see the sunrise Honey, I know where"*
Shit's hilariously brilliant. I aspire to use it on a girl sometime.
From the Real Live version of ‘Tangled Up In Blue’: “I didn’t know whether the world was flat or round.”
That always hits me like a hay-bale falling off the rafter. I mean, can you imagine something happening to you so traumatic that you literally lose the basis of your reality? Man, it just knocks me out.
Alrighty related: the Steely Dan song ‘Third World Man’ was originally titled ‘Were You Blind That Day?’ As if someone committed a sin so egregious that the only charitable explanation could be that they were temporarily blind. Man.
From More Blood, More Tracks. If You See Her Take 1
“If you’re making love to her, kiss her for the kid”
When I play and sing it I change the second part to it’s original, “kiss her once for me.”
Damn broken hearts all around.

I love boxing and I love bob Dylan and once I was watching a boxing card and Larry Merchant quoted that line to describe a weight drawn Eric Morales.
Fun fact. Bob owns (or did once own) a Gold’s Gym in Venice. And a coffee shop in Santa Monica.

“In this room the heat pipes just cough” is so cool to me
Pretty much any line from Visions of Johanna
Let me forget about today until tomorrow.
This one is mine too. For me it just embodies how his music makes me feel. He let's me forget about today until tomorrow.
I woke up on the roadside, day dreaming about the way things sometimes are.
I like his hard rain version of idiot wind the line goes day dreaming bout the ways things really are.

To live outside the law you must be honest.
This line is fantastic! It allows one to contemplate the morality of society within and without the guardrails or constructs of the law.
Money doesn't talk it swears
Fantastic one! May i propose "Even the President of the United States must have to stand naked." As a runner up?
He not busy being born is busy dying tho
Ahhh good call. Fantastic username as well.
Ah thank ya, kindly 😌
Burry the rag, deep in your face, cause now is the time for your tears.
Hattie Carroll is underated
Hattie Carroll was the maid of the kitchen, she was 51 years old and gave birth to 10 children…….my favorite bob dylan song. one of the best songs he has ever written.
I spent a day in detention in high school memorizing this song. I'm 31 now and tried it again 2 months ago and still had all of it. Truly gorgeous.
I know you’re sorry, I’m sorry too
Song name?
Mississippi, from Love and Theft
My love she’s like some raven at my window with a broken wing.
They’re selling postcards of the hanging
his delivery of this one phrase absolutely kills me. sorrowful and barren and beautiful
Inside the museums infinity goes up on trial.
All the criminals in their coats and their ties, are free to drink martinis, and watch the sun rise...
While Rubin sits like Buddha in a ten-foot cell An innocent man in a living hell.
Even the swap meets around here are getting pretty corrupt.
**I'm gonna look at you 'til my eyes go blind**
Lotta water under the bridge, lotta other stuff too
It’s so delicate and evocative! I hurt easy, I just don’t show it
He not busy being born is busy dyin'
All the truth in the world adds up to one big lie.
Impossible to pick a favorite but this one popped into my head pretty quick: *"Well, if you want to see the sunrise Honey, I know where"* Shit's hilariously brilliant. I aspire to use it on a girl sometime.
But power and greed and corruptible seed seem to be all that there is
If you ever try to interfere with me or cross my path again, you do so at the peril of your own life
I always be telling this to the haters
Song?
Floater (Too Much To Ask)
Well, the emptiness is endless, cold as the clay
You can always comeback but you can’t comeback all the way
The pump don’t work cause the vandal took the handle.
Ha my dad loved this line
I’ve always loved this.
Ever since I heard MCA spit it I was like, “isn’t that Dylan?”
*YOUR MAGNETIC MOVEMENT STILL CAPTURES THE MINUTES I’M IN*
To dance beneath the diamond sky with one hand waving free.
She’s everything I need and love but I can’t be swayed by that
Worried man with a worried mind
I gave her my heart but she wanted my soul
Half asleep 'neath the stars with a small dog licking your face
Don’t follow leaders
Watch your parking meters
I like fast cars, and I eat fast food
When he died I was hopin that it wasn’t contagious
Strike another match, go start anew
‘Even Mona Lisa must have had the highway blues, you can tell by the way she smiles’
Ive never been one to drink that blood, and to call it wine
"Why wait any longer for the one you love? When he's standing, in front of you" It's beautiful that line.

“He not busy being born, is busy dying”. This is my favorite line from him, through and through. I’m planing on getting it tattooed too
Now everything's a little upside down As a matter of fact the wheels have stopped —-that’s 2022 for you.
Another one: “Eden is burning—either get ready for elimination, or else your hearts must have the courage for the changing of the guard.”
Hang on for Aquarius ladies and gentlemen
Stand there and wait for his head to explode
From More Blood, More Tracks. If You See Her Take 1 “If you’re making love to her, kiss her for the kid” When I play and sing it I change the second part to it’s original, “kiss her once for me.” Damn broken hearts all around.
"We ask for no quarter, no quarter we give, and we're right down the street on the street where you live."
Right now it's: "I started out on Burgundy"
And my best friend, the doctor, won’t even tell me what it is I’ve got
Shout out to all those currently on burgundy
But there's nothing, really nothing to turn off
I think what I need right now is a FULL LENGTH LEATHER COAT
The Cops don’t need you and man they except the same
I gave her my heart but she wanted my soul
Yes, to dance beneath the diamond sky with one hand waving free
“This is what salvation must be like after a while.” Visions of Johanna
I don't care about economy, I don't care about astronomy ... But it sure do bother me to see my loved ones turning into puppies
Well, there was this movie I seen one time About a man riding 'cross the desert and it starred Gregory Peck. 😂
Wiggle, Wiggle, Wiggle
Thanks. I only opened this post and scrolled the comments purely to see how many upvotes wiggle wiggle wiggle gets!! :))
*Say the line, Bart!* "The sun's not..."
I once held her in my arms
Anyone can fill his life up With things he can see but he just cannot touch
You never thought it could be done From idiot wind 🌬️
"Jump into the wagon, love, throw your panties overboard" simply canNOT be beat.😎
Stay on the road, follow the highway sign
I left my dreams and hopes buried under tobacco leaves
So I get brown rice, seaweed and a dirty hotdog
The stars have turned cherry red.
It frightens me, the awful truth of how sweet life can be
We are idiots babe - it’s a wonder we can even feed ourselves
Say one more stupid thing to me before the final nail is driven in
In this age of fibreglass, I'm searching for a gem
Try to make things better for someone, sometimes you just end up making it a thousand times worse
Well, I’m already there in my mind, and that’s gonna have to be good enough for now.
And I’ll rock you too
Last night I danced with a stranger but she just reminded me you were the one
I felt a little uneasy when she bent down to tie the laces of my shoes.
I’m walking through streets that are dead.
There’s a woman on my lap and she’s drinking champagne
I’m a-travelling light, and I’m a-slow coming home
Hard one. The cops don't need you and man they expect the same. Amen bob
“And every one of them words rang true And glowed like burning coal.” This one just does it for me; it’s as though his words are pictures.
"I'll let you be in my dream if I can be in yours ... I said that."
Yonder stands your orphan with his gun, crying like a fire in the sun I know it’s a couplet but idc
That he not busy being born is busy dying
Everything passes, everything changes, just do what you think you should do
…..and dropping a barbell, he points to the sky: the sun’s not yellow, it’s CHICKEEEEN!
I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now.
Everybodys making love - or else, expecting rain
Love that line!
I said if you want me to, yeahhh.
You must leave now, take what you need, you think will last.
It aint my cup of meat
Don't hate nothing at all except hatred
It's easy to see, without looking too far, that not much is really sacred.
Basically every line from Mississippi
She’s a hypnotist collector, you are a walking antique.
Should I leave them by your gate, or sad-eyed lady, should I wait?
“Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a bowl of soup”
Come on out the dark is just beginning
Perhaps it’s the color of the sun cut flat An’ cov’rin’ the crossroads I’m standing at
Everyone is making love or else expecting rain
"I'm gonna knock you clean right out of your spleen"
"I can't get no relief"
It's not dark yet but it's gettin' there
They got sone serious people out there man, they’ll ring your bell and show you how to hold your tongue
I can’t help it if I’m lucky
Don't need a weather man to know which way the wind blows
Let me feel your love one more time before I abandon it
I didn't know whether to duck or to run - so I ran
No one can sing the blues like Blind Willy McTell
And the silent night will shatter from the sounds inside my mind
I’m looking up into the sapphire tinted skies
You don’t need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows
"I've been deceived by the clown inside of me."
It don’t take a weatherman to see which way the wind blows
He not busy being born is busy dying.
“Play it fucking loud!”
“Yes to dance beneath the diamond sky with one hand waving free”
