I'm a Menlo Park kid who moved into San Francisco for college...where I paid my rent and $60 a semester tuition by working/living in North Beach and then, when it opened, Ghirardelli. Went to the Matrix, The Filmore, and the Apollo every week. Utter heaven. Yes.I realize what a remarkable time and place I grew up in!
Absolutely the best era to be a part of. Later on we saw all the greats at the Fillmore East in the Village. Met Jimi coming out of Electric Ladyland studios.
One of Dylan's greatest lines comes not from a song but from the No Direction Home doc when he says (in reference to Baez) "you can't be in love and wise at the same time." That explains a lot to me.

IMO, he was admitting that he was not in love, only Joan was, and he was making smart business/career decisions (that's why he didn't invite her on stage on his European tour).
Thank You Thank You Thank You. I was at one of Joan's first concerts in Forest Hills, NY and we were hoping she'd brought Bob with her. Sure enough, he came out and did his magical thing. After the concert, it was night time, I saw them walking together off in the distance, holding hands. It's an image I've cherished forever.
@@Estefaniac19 I can't remember, early '60's is the best I can offer. What I do remember is that after the concert they were walking down the side of the stadium together and holding hands.
@@jeffloewi5632jeff, for old times sake, you should get on google maps or have somebody help you search it up, and try and find that location near the stadium! you should be able to do street view as if you were really walking and try and find some tangible remnant of that cherished memory! hope all is well :)
Artists are not meant to stay together. They are loners and they produce their best work during such times. Such are the lives of artistic people throughout history ...
it is very rare to see Bob smiles while singing,but he did it whenever he sang with Joan.How beautiful but sad stories...I understand that as I broke up just couple of days ago.We used to listen to Bob together and she said she will try to love Bob too as I am but now everything changed...I hope she will lead a blissful life without me on her side.
A beautiful song. What's even more amazing is how Judas Priest credibly turned it into great heavy metal song. A crossover nobody ever would have thought of.
Well Dylan didn’t actually say he was moved by Joan’s song. He said he was impressed to be a part of her song and that he continues to be impressed. It seems like a minor point for me to make but Dylan may be really saying that he didn’t like being a character in her song. I don’t know, it’s ambiguous still. We may never be relieved from the stress of not knowing what Bob Dylan really thinks about Diamond and Rust.
@@Hartlor_Tayley it meant something to him. According to Baez, on the first day of rehearsals for Rolling Thunder, he asked her if she was going to play Diamonds and Rust, calling it the song about, "diamonds and blue eyes," but she responded by telling him it was about her ex husband. I think the tragedy of their situation was their unwillingness to actually talk to one another about it
“I don't think I'm tangible to myself. I mean, I think one thing today and I think another thing tomorrow. I change during the course of a day. I wake and I'm one person, and when I go to sleep I know for certain I'm somebody else. I don't know who I am most of the time. It doesn't even matter to me.” Bob Dylan
Everybody is trying to have a certain personality. He's not doing that. He is a creative person who follows in the first place his intuition which is more truthful and closer to our higher self than our (fake) personalities. It is out of fear that we cling to our personalities. He don't, he has courage.
I heard that album when I was about 16 (57 yrs. ago) and have been mesmerized by her voice ever since.( To say nothing of the wonderful human being she has become.)
At 8:41, Joan and Dylan singing merrily "Go away from my window ... I'm not the one you want babe" .... prophetic song indeed ... who knew? ... they did end up driving each other apart in their own ways ...
Not only was the music spectacular but it was a time of great hope and we thought we could change the world for the better! Peace love and happiness! So so different than 2025. My dream would be to go back to those days for the sake of the entire world!! Maybe the next time we can actually pull it off!
You know I'm about your age, and I was thinking recently about hippies and our generation back then, a lot of people still believe in love and peace. Others dismiss it. Say you are stuck in the past. Let it go. Well, you know what , I think that was a super time, and peaple woke up to the bullshit they were being told. They knew Vietnam was a stupid war for money and maniacally politicians. Look at the clown running country now. So sad.
I think this is a fair take from both of them. She was clearly into the politics and the sign-holding and the sit-ins. He just wanted to write music, perform, travel, and have fun with his friends. They both influenced one another. Seems that they both have good perspectives on why whatever they had initially didn’t last. I think that them reuniting 10+ years later in a different season of life gives me hope for some reason, for whatever that’s worth. I still remember the first time I watched Don’t Look Back, now 20+ years ago, and I was so impressed by them both. I’ve gotten older but anytime I see those clips they are the same age. Odd perspective. I wonder what they think if they watch the film now?
I just saw the movie a complete unknown for the second time. I loved it more the second time around. It made me so nostalgic for that time in my life. I was just becoming a teenager. Between folk music and the Beatles was a wonderful time musically in my life.❤
But he's deliberately speeding it up and changing his melody to make sure it doesnt sound lovely and sweet the way Joan wants it to be. He's sending her a big message there.
@@NagoyaHouseHead He probably is. It's such a comples relation. But they both had pretty different singing styles regardless. Both great artists, very underappreciated outside the US unfortunately.
I think you wrong there, about both being unappreciated outside the USA. They wouldn’t have comoleted International tours in recent years, if not aporeciated. I’m very sorry a couple years back to have missed Joan’s tour to Australia ( think I was travelling out if OZ at the time. Did catch Dylan & really enjoyed his show with the jazz players he had with him. A small but classy ensemble and Dylan reinventing his songs ....
I was so lucky to find bob dylan and after joan , at the age of 13 in 1968, loved both ever since they complemented each other. Beautiful, wonderful, complex people , and still both relivent today.
hahaha the epic, unheard dialogue of two folk legends: "Hey Bob, you want to sing some concerts with me?' "ehhshit I dunno" "..I think it'd be a fantastic idea" "hey yah so do I" "um so I have these shows coming up, would you like to be part of them?" "wehll yah, what da fuck"
That unique guitar style of Joan was her own, developed from much of the folk guitar of the time, but, also based in the Elizabeth Cotton picking style.. ....Cotton gets little recognition, the style is hard to develop........and harder to find a teacher.....I was fortunate to have a friend who studied guitar and folk music at Albuequerque or Phoenix.....so recognize it, and also saw Joan perform many times over the years, often in parks, or at marches, or Be Ins.......Cotton was an old Black woman, her mother had been a slave freed by the Civil War.......she deserves people to know her style and her life.
@@surchristian3518 I would love to see a really well done book and support album and support video done to preserve all this ancient music style and personality information. I am too swamped with work, (high risk youth, veterans, and their kids, as well as mustang sanctuary consultations)and just plain O L D, but think it could be done and used to raise money for an old musicians home for those who need it, and there are way too many who die alone in crappy walk ups, or homeless.
I really appreciate her raw authenticity to share what it was really like and not to sugarcoat everything… from some experiences I’ve lived through loving a musician who made it big from the early days... I can really relate, and it felt cathartic to watch this and her open up.
Joan's voice is unique, and her first albuns are a total novelty. She is like poem turned into a person. Bob was close to her choices with his wonderful poems. It still sounds strange how their two voices make an unique sound, in total fusion.
Her tonal quality was very pure. I always wondered why she used so much vibrato. Many singers use it to cover flaws. Her voice didn't have any. Take Alison Krauss. Her tone is so perfect it gets me emotional. But she uses virtually no vibrato. I wonder if it was just the fashion of the times that Joan was following.
It wasn't the fashion. In fact, in all the early Child Ballads a purely straight tone is more appropriate. Joan has said many times that her stage fright in the early years was so severe she couldn't control her vibrato. Over time and as she became more comfortable as a performer, her vibrato became less pronounced.
She explains in the video why it didn't work out, she wanted him to be a political "activist" and he wanted to move on. BTW she also had an affair with Steve Jobs later on.
I was a teen in the 70's. The drug use and alcohol abuse so depressed and alienated me from my peers. Losing control of your senses made no sense to me.
Its nice that Joan has finally got some real perspective of those turbulent times. Dylan never wanted to be the face of a movement he was just the lyrist's/ poet . But what a poet.
She understood and had real perspective on those times when she wrote: "Why do I sit, the autumnal judge, Years of self-righteousness will not budge Singer or savior, it was his to choose Which of us knows what was his to lose Because idols are best when they're made of stone A savior's a nuisance to live with at home Stars often fall, heroes go unsung And martyrs most certainly die too young So thank you for writing the best songs Thank you for righting a few wrongs You're a savage gift on a wayward bus But you stepped down and you sang to us" - excerpt from Winds of the Old Days, 1975.
I fondly remember them in Rolling Thunder, '76, at St. Petersburg. Joan's lyric delivery on the Nashville recording of "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down" will always remind Me of the ultimate in Artistic expression.
The irony of the whole thing is how appropriate these songs are for today, wirh all the insanity going on, they're very grounding. History is repeating itself in different forms. Isn't this the eve of destruction?
I could list to either or just one of them for ever Fantastic listen to them since the 60's and Joan i never did drugs it was the music for me and i wanted Bob to be President
Funny thing watching this is I hear Dylan talk about her and in the back of my mind I hear her song diamond and rust where she says "now your telling me your not nostalgic", well here it is his true thoughts just many years too late lol
i think Bob does not favour the Media so much. He is fed up with them always trying to get him to give the one and only answer to the most complex issues in the world. He likes himself in the company of people that thinks of Dylan as just Dylan without all the curtains.
Not many, for sure. He seems to let his guard down a bit in this one, and you get a glimpse of Bob without the mask, which is why I love it. Same with his 60 Minutes interview. But who knows, it might just be another mask. We're talking Dylan here.
Joan was/is a beautiful spirit who was in love with a shooting star. Dylan couldn't step back from his destiny. I think he loves Joan and always has. She was a special part of his destiny but not the place he could land. I guess he was too busy flying, creating, writing and becoming Bob Dylan. She got hurt but i dont think either lost the love they had, he just took it out of a romance and she accepted that. Damn he called from a phone booth in the midwest on a full moon. He was on the road and life was probably full of chaos, loud and noisy and he was becoming more famous at every show. Joan probably grounded him. Took away some anxiety and made him see all was ok. He trusted her and her opinion and she may have put things right for him. There is a wrd for that, hmm. Mentor? Maybe just a trusted friend. She went on and fell in love again. ? I just wrote that as i was trying to get to the feeling behind what they were to each other. So everything here is pure conjecture. Im so glad they are alive and doing their own thing. ❤
If bob and joan finally got together in 2024 now ..they ie bob so private he really loves joan . Just wont admit it as he broke her heart those years ago. God bless from Ireland 🇮🇪 🙏🏼
Joan Baez excelled beyond the angels of Heaven in singing the Henry Child English ballads and in singing lyrical songs AND the lyrical songs of Bob Dylan. I love best of all her album entitled simply JOAN, her album Noel, and her incredibly beautiful album of song and poetry spoken, called Baptism.
Dylan told people he married Sara because he knew she would be there for him whenever he wanted. Whereas Joan had her own career and wouldn’t be as available.
Did not know of this doc. Great to see how time can heal. JB could only do one thing and Dylan was changing so fast and doing so many different things.
Joan sort of dissembles here. She was never Bob's "only." During the time they were involved, Bob still was in a relationship with Suze Rotolo. Joan was the interloper. I love Joan, but both Bob's girlfriend (Suze) and Joan's girlfriend (Kim Chapell) were treated cavalierly, and both were devastated. By the time of Bob's England tour of 1965, he was already putting his romantic sights elsewhere. His future wife Sara Lownds was already pregnant with Bob's child, Jesse Dylan. Joan would never rekindle what they had, and Bob was not very nice to her on that tour, to say the least.
I think Bob and Suze were soulmates but they took different paths. She was too young and humble in spirit. She couldn't face his fame. Maybe with his maturity now they would have been fine. But that's life... He was also very lucky to have had a second chance for a true love with Sara.
Was never really of a fan of either, but I do remember hearing them when I was 8 or 9 some where with my parents. But then that was over 54 years ago. Both great singers
Bro...you need your vision checked. Well, on the other hand, maybe you're just into old washed up women who've 'known' more men from around the world than Jezebel herdamnself.
Bobby, Du hast im Lauf Deines bisherigen Lebens wirklich unglaublich viel Bewunderung und Lob erhalten! In diesem Punkt kannst Du Dich wirklich nicht beschweren!
@Bob Dylan Für meinen ELVIS: "Why me Lord"? Weil wir uns so ähnlich sind - obwohl unsere Horoskope das nicht ausdrücken können! So ist es eben, das Leben - im Vergleich zur Astrologie, die mir dennoch kostbar ist und bleibt.
Für Rainer Werner Fassbinder: Mein geliebter Rainer, Du bist wirklich vom Schmerz fasziniert und besessen gewesen! Bei mir war es genau umgekehrt: Ich hatte eine ganz andere, sehr positive Sicht auf das geliebte Leben - aber der Schmerz hat MICH besessen - obwohl ich NICHTS mit ihm zu tun haben wollte! Aber ich habe ihn schließlich erfolgreich für immer aus meinem privaten Leben vertrieben!
A couple of light years Just Hits everyone's life past a certain age so many things happened a couple of light years it's one of those magic lines Bob Dylan spoke about where do they come from I don't have them anymore they just came back back then when I had well it seems in diamonds and rust and many other songs Joan you had them but D&R seem to be something he left in your soul.
I hope all you guys who lived through this period and got to enjoy their music as it was being released realise how lucky you all are.
I do, but i appreciate them much more now. At least we’re able to see it on utube!
I'm a Menlo Park kid who moved into San Francisco for college...where I paid my rent and $60 a semester tuition by working/living in North Beach and then, when it opened, Ghirardelli.

I can't imagine. I'm jealous of just hearing this and finding it. It must of been an exercise in itself...a much different world.
Yes we are! We also had the RollingStones and Beatles in their prime. It was not all about money then.
One of Dylan's greatest lines comes not from a song but from the No Direction Home doc when he says (in reference to Baez) "you can't be in love and wise at the same time." That explains a lot to me.
In London, he was already in love with Sara. That explains a lot.

I'm reading this because I just saw "A great unknown" & now I'm playing his music on my U-tube channel. LEGEND. . .👍✨🎶
I laughed when Joan said mother instinct and scruffy little mess. These two were so cute🥰 It’s amazing how long they kept their friendship
Dylan is like 80 now, can you imagine a post-Covid tour with these 2 now? Break people's minds!
i hope to god you don't reply to this clown dumbass scam
& hearts
Artists are not meant to stay together. They are loners and they produce their best work during such times. Such are the lives of artistic people throughout history ...
@Bob Dylan LOL
Like Rodgers and Hammerstein?
I have to agree. Joan says she can't keep a relationship for long but can have one for 10,000 fans (from a distance).
Being alone is not lonely. People really muck things up!
Truth
“We weren’t just two people, we amounted to a minimum of three.” I felt that one.
Hearing Dylan speak on his life is very intriguing
Hearing Dylan speak on anything (!) is intriguing
@@ronyanai4627 Indeed!!
she's aged unbelievably well.
Certainly better than Dylan has!
the absence of botox or skinstretching surgery does wonders

@@danmseattle975 No he is still an amazing live artist travelling the world... she once loved him dearly xxx
So natural and beautiful
I'd still pay to see them play together again.
I would the upmost to see Joan Baez but you couldn't pay me to see the other one.
Diamonds and rust is one of my favorite songs by her 😊
If Bob and Joan get back together in the end, that will complete the universe
I think so too
Nooo
Ha ha ha. Won't happen. Dylan is too much of a prick.
It’s too far gone for something like that to happen! They are both almost 80!
Definitely

A very gallant attitude and may you have a good and happy life again soon..when you forgive, dont forget to include yourself🌅
Sorry just realised that was all 4years ago..hope youre in a good place today..
I don't wanna live in a world without dylan in it
With 55 albums you won't have to! I listen to him almost daily in some form or another. I'm lucky my independent local radio station plays him a lot!
That's being foolish. Live your own life . OK to be a fan. A giant fan. Dylan was pretty unique. Word expert. Quite genius, in my opinion.
To hear Dylan finally say how remorseful he was and how Diamonds and Rust still moves him is a load off my mind. Haha
Right. She carried that.
A beautiful song. What's even more amazing is how Judas Priest credibly turned it into great heavy metal song. A crossover nobody ever would have thought of.

I was a teen in the 70's. The drug use and alcohol abuse so depressed and alienated me from my peers. Losing control of your senses made no sense to me.
"They were a force at that time." Understatement of the century, David!
Its nice that Joan has finally got some real perspective of those turbulent times. Dylan never wanted to be the face of a movement he was just the lyrist's/ poet . But what a poet.
She understood and had real perspective on those times when she wrote:
"Why do I sit, the autumnal judge,
Years of self-righteousness will not budge
Singer or savior, it was his to choose
Which of us knows what was his to lose
Because idols are best when they're made of stone
A savior's a nuisance to live with at home
Stars often fall, heroes go unsung
And martyrs most certainly die too young
So thank you for writing the best songs
Thank you for righting a few wrongs
You're a savage gift on a wayward bus
But you stepped down and you sang to us"
- excerpt from Winds of the Old Days, 1975.
I prefer listening to recordings of her live performances instead of her studio recordings. They're just more beautiful imo.
“Wonderful fun “ Joni , great vid thank you
Too short... like at a concert, out here on the internet, shouting "more". This video showed my heart and soul to be on low, I need more.
'Speaking strictly for me, we both could have died then and there.'
Joan sings like an angel, Bob is a mystery and an excellent person! 💜🎶💜
An angel? An angelic goat, maybe, with that endless vibrato effect.
@@terri6854 😄✌️
I fondly remember them in Rolling Thunder, '76, at St. Petersburg. Joan's lyric delivery on the Nashville recording of "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down" will always remind Me of the ultimate in Artistic expression.
Wish they’d stayed together. I 💟them together.
How many times have i heard this even at the age of 67
The irony of the whole thing is how appropriate these songs are for today, wirh all the insanity going on, they're very grounding. History is repeating itself in different forms. Isn't this the eve of destruction?
CHE hat mich so unglaublich liebevoll angesehen, dieses Gefühl begleitet mich immer noch...
I could list to either or just one of them for ever Fantastic listen to them since the 60's and Joan i never did drugs it was the music for me and i wanted Bob to be President
i love joan shes a very lovely sprit
Just beautiful, sad and beautiful like life often is... we all want happy endings but somethings are too special for that , this is one .
Bob Dylan is a great songwriter. Pure Genuine
Funny thing watching this is I hear Dylan talk about her and in the back of my mind I hear her song diamond and rust where she says "now your telling me your not nostalgic", well here it is his true thoughts just many years too late lol
"Then give me another word for it..you who are so good with words!" Couldn't possibly be about anyone else.
@@stuartmiller693 the part she says she bought him some cufflinks is also obv about Dylan she bought them him for his birthday
The melody of 'With God On Our Side' sounds close to the original melody by Dominic Behan, Irish songwriter. 'Go Lassie Go' is an old Scots song.
Tom Acton Patriot Game
Dylan doesn't usually do interviews does he? This is pretty remarkable!
The Jakob Hallett Nerve Centre that’s really cute and sincere!
Obviously she was something special to him and still in his heart.Nostalgia of love and youth.
i think Bob does not favour the Media so much. He is fed up with them always trying to get him to give the one and only answer to the most complex issues in the world. He likes himself in the company of people that thinks of Dylan as just Dylan without all the curtains.
Not many, for sure. He seems to let his guard down a bit in this one, and you get a glimpse of Bob without the mask, which is why I love it. Same with his 60 Minutes interview. But who knows, it might just be another mask. We're talking Dylan here.
Wonderful. Worthwhile. Thank you
Joan was/is a beautiful spirit who was in love with a shooting star. Dylan couldn't step back from his destiny. I think he loves Joan and always has. She was a special part of his destiny but not the place he could land. I guess he was too busy flying, creating, writing and becoming Bob Dylan. She got hurt but i dont think either lost the love they had, he just took it out of a romance and she accepted that. Damn he called from a phone booth in the midwest on a full moon. He was on the road and life was probably full of chaos, loud and noisy and he was becoming more famous at every show. Joan probably grounded him. Took away some anxiety and made him see all was ok. He trusted her and her opinion and she may have put things right for him. There is a wrd for that, hmm. Mentor? Maybe just a trusted friend. She went on and fell in love again. ? I just wrote that as i was trying to get to the feeling behind what they were to each other. So everything here is pure conjecture. Im so glad they are alive and doing their own thing. ❤
Joan always seemed like such a good kind hearted person with great morals
Saw her several times. An angel with a guitar.
No one comes close to Bob Dylan's songwriting ability.
If bob and joan finally got together in 2024 now ..they ie bob so private he really loves joan . Just wont admit it as he broke her heart those years ago. God bless from Ireland 🇮🇪 🙏🏼
Very powerful loving voice! I hear why he fell in love with her.
Joan Baez is even more beautiful today... like fine wine she only improves with age.
They should have stayed together
Two hot stars cannot stay together without burning each other out.
She was too political for him
@@SN2903 Exactly, and she says as much in the film.
Such a beautiful voice
Joan Baez excelled beyond the angels of Heaven in singing the Henry Child English ballads and in singing lyrical songs AND the lyrical songs of Bob Dylan. I love best of all her album entitled simply JOAN, her album Noel, and her incredibly beautiful album of song and poetry spoken, called Baptism.
Dylan told people he married Sara because he knew she would be there for him whenever he wanted. Whereas Joan had her own career and wouldn’t be as available.
Did not know of this doc. Great to see how time can heal. JB could only do one thing and Dylan was changing so fast and doing so many different things.
Joan sort of dissembles here. She was never Bob's "only." During the time they were involved, Bob still was in a relationship with Suze Rotolo. Joan was the interloper. I love Joan, but both Bob's girlfriend (Suze) and Joan's girlfriend (Kim Chapell) were treated cavalierly, and both were devastated. By the time of Bob's England tour of 1965, he was already putting his romantic sights elsewhere. His future wife Sara Lownds was already pregnant with Bob's child, Jesse Dylan. Joan would never rekindle what they had, and Bob was not very nice to her on that tour, to say the least.
I think Bob and Suze were soulmates but they took different paths. She was too young and humble in spirit. She couldn't face his fame. Maybe with his maturity now they would have been fine. But that's life... He was also very lucky to have had a second chance for a true love with Sara.
I think it was around that time, mid 60s, that Joan and John Lennon 'hooked up'.
Bob and Joan Baez were never in a committed relationship, they were friends with benefits who happened to sing songs together.
Such an Amazing time when young people pooled together for the greater good .We had such possibilities . The future now scares me .
Was never really of a fan of either, but I do remember hearing them when I was 8 or 9 some where with my parents. But then that was over 54 years ago. Both great singers
Incredible! I have to see the rest!
Where is the rest, what is the name of it?
They remember their musical trajectory and we remember our youth... Oh, my God!
Diamond and rust perfect album jb
It’s so cute that he calls her Joanie ❤
True Love Tends to Forget.❤️💋❤️ The sun is shining and all is well.
Yep. It was quite a time then and when I look back on it now.
Joan and Bob- what a duo.
times have changed...thank you documentarians!!!!!~E
Happy days love them both, they’ll live forever though their music
My god she is beautiful
Still is.
J. B. He said is not was
She’s always been gorgeous
@@kingkong4934 he or she 🤔
Bro...you need your vision checked. Well, on the other hand, maybe you're just into old washed up women who've 'known' more men from around the world than Jezebel herdamnself.
I just wish that they would gather together and make an acoustic album someday
I love this woman so much,since my teenage time ...
Bobby, Du hast im Lauf Deines bisherigen Lebens wirklich unglaublich viel Bewunderung und Lob erhalten! In diesem Punkt kannst Du Dich wirklich nicht beschweren!
@Bob Dylan Für meinen ELVIS: "Why me Lord"? Weil wir uns so ähnlich sind - obwohl unsere Horoskope das nicht ausdrücken können! So ist es eben, das Leben - im Vergleich zur Astrologie, die mir dennoch kostbar ist und bleibt.
@Bob Dylan Für ELVIS: Wir sind uns ungeheuer ähnlich UND dabei ergänzen wir uns ideal: DU als Mann, und ich als Frau!
@Bob Dylan Mein CHE, mein Liebster, Du bist nicht alt und Du sollst nicht gehen, sondern kommen!
Für Rainer Werner Fassbinder: Mein geliebter Rainer, Du bist wirklich vom Schmerz fasziniert und besessen gewesen! Bei mir war es genau umgekehrt: Ich hatte eine ganz andere, sehr positive Sicht auf das geliebte Leben - aber der Schmerz hat MICH besessen - obwohl ich NICHTS mit ihm zu tun haben wollte! Aber ich habe ihn schließlich erfolgreich für immer aus meinem privaten Leben vertrieben!
Mein heiß geliebter JIMI, Du warst NIE ein Lügner! Schlaf gut!
A couple of light years Just Hits everyone's life past a certain age so many things happened a couple of light years it's one of those magic lines Bob Dylan spoke about where do they come from I don't have them anymore they just came back back then when I had well it seems in diamonds and rust and many other songs Joan you had them but D&R seem to be something he left in your soul.
