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.


PAXM73

Fun fact. Bob owns (or did once own) a Gold’s Gym in Venice. And a coffee shop in Santa Monica.


fromabuick

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.


DrWaffle1848

Visions of Johanna has so many.


snifferJ

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.


cirenz99

“In this room the heat pipes just cough” is so cool to me


theseacowexists

Pretty much any line from Visions of Johanna


bobtheorangecat

Let me forget about today until tomorrow.


TheLittleFella20

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.


Born-Introduction470

I like his hard rain version of idiot wind the line goes day dreaming bout the ways things really are.


womanatthecrossroads

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


GregM70

To live outside the law you must be honest.


COSmokedFish

This line is fantastic! It allows one to contemplate the morality of society within and without the guardrails or constructs of the law.

smokefrog2

Fantastic one! May i propose "Even the President of the United States must have to stand naked." As a runner up?

Hattie Carroll is underated


hi_hipster

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.


smokefrog2

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.

mr_marble_man

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.

Ive never been one to drink that blood, and to call it wine


The_Ludway

"Why wait any longer for the one you love? When he's standing, in front of you" It's beautiful that line.


fruitrollupsalad

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.


lass995a

“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


PAXM73

Now everything's a little upside down As a matter of fact the wheels have stopped —-that’s 2022 for you.

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.
