    Man, there are just SO MANY beautiful little gems that get stitched together to make this song brilliant. All the different instruments adding their little sparkles here and there, like the sweet sitar fill at 1:06, the two ladies on the violins, or the hollow "rat-tat-tat" drum fill at 2:33, right before that rich syrupy guitar tone kicks in for the solo. Not to mention Roberto's soulful steel slide guitar twang at 3:49. The whole thing just has so much texture and is orchestrated so well, I could listen to this on repeat for hours and still find new things to love about it every time.

While I am white & live in New Zealand, the indigenous people here, the Maori, have had a similar fight to preserve their right to live & culture but unlike many they have fought the good fight & have won the right to preserve their culture & language as an important part of New Zealand.

      Yes, Jimi took that song from Dylan and made it his own. It didn't take Bob long to realize that was the way that song should be played and he began playing it in the Hendrix style. That is impressive and a nod to Jimi from one of the best songwriters ever. You do my song better than I do. It is cool to hear how it has morphed over the years but the Hendirix stylings are the parts that stay.

      Jonas, I have a dear friend who is a "follower" of Trump and it seems to me her behavior and defensive positioning, her inability to hear anything negative said about him, is of a cult characteristic, like unto Branch Davidians and some Buddhist cults. So, to diagnose Trump followers accurately I think you would need to look at the characteristics of people in cults. Trumpers, as she calls herself, are people who willingly fall inline behind their messiah who, as you point out, leads them in their quest to fulfill their narcissism and other general delusions.

Bob so liked Jimi's version that Bob has continued to perform his own song in the fashion Jimi did it because it is so fantastic, and as a musical tribute to Jimi. "All Along The Watchtower" is the best cover song ever, imho. Kudos to Bob for his writing, singing and playing genius, AND to the few who really do this AMAZING song justice. That would include JIMI #1 and Playing For Change. PLAYING FOR CHANGE are fantastic musicians. I'm guessing the much alive today Bob, and Jimi both would approve of PLAYING FOR CHANGE's cover here.👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
