Who is Bob Dylan? ;)
well I sing several myself, and only recently added “Knocking on Heaven’s Door” to my repertoire, but I wouldn’t say it’s my favourite to listen to, it’s just fun to sing and people like it. I also like singing “I Want You”.
I like his whole last album, and I think he’s actually getting better these days, if only because he can afford to hire better musicians and get the job properly done (as opposed to himself and a guitar in the early 60s). “Spirit on the Water” and “The Levee’s Gonna Break” are among my favourites.
But my all-time Dylan classic is “Bob Dylan’s 114th Dream” which has the wittiest line I’ve heard in a song:
I decided to toss a coin, like either heads or tails,
To see if I was going back to the ship or back to jail
So I looked into my sailor’s coat and I found a coin to flip
It came up tails, it rhymed with sails, so I went back to the ship.
