    Not only is it a cool video, it was one of the first artist-made videos in the early 1960's. Waaay before the MTV era. In college, late '70's, I had an English Literature professor who spent a full hour and a half period, you know Tuesdays and Thursdays, dissecting "Subterranean Homesick Blues" as a poem. Thank You Dr. Garlitz. The man with the beard crossing the screen at the end of the video was Allen Ginsberg, the Beat Poet who wrote the Epic poem "Howl".

    A lot of people do credit this as the first rap song because it not only is a rap it contains all the elements of a good rap song, some anti government activity, some over bearing governmental elements, some what could be considered criminal activity as well as social justice protests. But Chuck Berry's "too much monkey business" could fall in that category as well

    I think you nailed it on the fire hose. Dylan was part of the Civil Rights movement in the 1960s, sang at civil rights events, including MLK’s March on Washington, etc. He would not lightly throw around a reference about staying away from those that carry round a fire hose. The more you listen to Dylan, the more you appreciate his voice as another instrument he employs.

      Possibly one of the greatest short-sharp lines ever written. Between the bit before and the bit just after that. But then superceded by the one about parkin' meters a few moments later.

    The more I listen to Bob Dylan, and it's been 40 years, the more I like his voice. No, he doesn't have a great technical voice, but he has great delivery, he has great phrasing, and he has the greatest lyrics ever written. Plus he has a very, very distinctive voice.
    #1 artist of them all, IMHO.
    Dive in to the great man's catalogue Biz, just for yourself. It's well worth it.
    Next? "It’s All Over Baby Blue" or maybe "Visions Of Johanna" or "Ballad Of A Thin Man" or even "Not Dark Yet" or "Mississippi".
    I could name 100 songs and still leave out too many.

    Sorry Biz I hit send by mistake. The bussing line was about the desegregation of I believe school busses. "Better jump down a manhole light yourself a candle" was nuclear war. Jump in a hole and light a candle because electricity is gone. I love Dylan's voice, if he sang like a McCartney it wouldn't work now would it. I know I've requested this one so thank you but two more from this incredible album.
    "It's Alright Ma(I'm Only Bleeding" about the hypocrisy in America in 1965 and nothing has changed. That song could have been written yesterday.
    Also "Mr Tambourine Man" a beautiful song and the lyical wordplay is wonderful. Like painting with words.
    Hope too see these one day and please not live videos but the studio versions please. "Bringing It All Back Home" is a great album.
    Peace ❤

    "You don't need a weather man to know which way the wind blows" -- The militant 1960's anti-war group known as The Weather Underground took their name from that line. They bombed military recruitment centers to protest the Vietnam War. They killed several people too, including members of their group, when a bomb they were making blew up on them. The survivors went underground to evade authorities and a few did so for more than a decade, iirc. The bald bearded man wearing glasses off to the left behind Dylan is the poet Allen Ginsberg. When you're ready for more Dylan, check out Marianne Faithfull's cover of "It’s All Over Now, Baby Blue".

    You would like Don't Think Twice It's Alright. It's a breakup song in Dylan speak, also early folk with guitar and harmonica. It's been covered/sampled by many people from Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Eric Clapton, Allman Bros to Indigo Girls.
    The song ends with these lines:
    Goodbye's too good a word, babe
    So I'll just say, "Fare thee well"
    I ain't a-saying you treated me unkind
    You could've done better but I don't mind
    You just kinda wasted my precious time
    But don't think twice, it's all right

    A pioneering video, and regarded by many as a prototype for rap, but not rap itself - though Dylan himself said the style came from a Chuck Berry song (Too Much Monkey Business). NoDoz is an over-the-counter drug that will keep you awake, often used by students swotting for exams, but which leads to a person eventually crashing and sleeping very heavily.

    You are exactly right Dylan's voice perfectly matches what he's doing. Who else is going to sing this stuff? This would be a workout for any conventional vocalist. As you move through his catalog you are going to find that he translates very well with other decades. Serve Somebody, Sweetheart Like You are excellent examples of this.

  • @alphajava761
    @alphajava761 10 місяців тому +5

    Dylan has one of the most imitated vocals in Rock. Dylan is a stylist who sings with emotion. Dylan changes his vocals across his catalog many times, and on each album. Each Dylan album sounds different as he changes musicians on each album up until about 20 years ago, Dylan is also a genius composer and conductor. You're going to find Dylan is many things. His album's Bring It All Back Home, Highway 61 Revisited and Blonde on Blonde in the mid 60s changed Rock N Roll from that point forward. I've heard every album countless times, even his albums of cover songs.

      @@CosmicVagabondPixie Time Out Of Mind (1997) is one of Dylan's best albums, his best album since Blood On the Tracks (1975). These are 2 albums that particularly show Dylan's range of reimagining his music. I love his croakier voice starting on the Oh Mercy album (1989). There are many good albums between 1974 and 1989 that show Dylan's ability to reimagine himself such as Slow Train Coming and Infidels. His latest studio album Rough and Rowdy Ways (2020) still maintains Dylan is a top talent, "My Own Version Of You" is a particular standout.

    Whether or not you think of this song as precursor to rap, it's a groundbreaking song (and video) and a brilliant marriage of lyrics and rhythm. And it does bring home a related point. Rap music is a kind of folk music --- it's the voice of the people, it's what's going on in the street. It challenges the establishment and the status quo. And there are some brilliant lyrics -- most famously: "You don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows" and "20 years of schoolin' and they put you on the day shift."

    Bob's an absolute genius. Some of his material does actually show off his vocals. He changed his style so much. It's not smooth as such, but it's the voice of the streets and of the people. As Don McLean puts it in American Pie ''with a voice that came from you and me'' (which was about Dylan).

    My theory, is that rap came from the beat poets in the 60s... people would read poetry to cool jazz lines... reading in a kind of cadence with the music... this started getting faster... an example is this song.. and faster... and at some point it broke off into the raw rap we saw in the 70s... that's my theory anyway...

    If you don't count Gilbert & Sullivan or Cole Porter, yeah, this may be the first rap song. Of course, they were called patter songs.

    Bob going electric. Groundbreaking song. Two of the greatest records ever recorded were right around the corner and it all started here.

    The lyrics about not needing a Weather Man to know which way the wind blows is referring to the radical group…the Weather Underground.

    Great comments y'all., I think Dylan's voice is an affectation. He puts it on. It's part of a character, like Bowie had Ziggy Stardust. Joni Mitchell says in a video interview that he got stuck being a young man doing an old man's voice and never changed it. But it's just like you said, it's right for the material, and being folk music. I love Bob Dylan. Thanks!

    My whole life I thought the line was “don’t try no-doz” as it is in the official lyrics. If you consider the rhyme that follows and listen closely though he’s actually singing “don’t tie no bows.” This song might sound nonsensical on first, second, tenth listen but it [almost] all makes sense if you consider the political climate at the time… bussing, firehouses, so much more.
    I add my voice to the group that would really love to hear your reaction to “It’s Alright, Ma (I’m Only Bleeding.”
    Among hundreds of such great songs it’s impossible to choose a favorite, it’s still my favorite. And if you think what he’s doing here is like rapping just check that one out

    In his earlier LPs, Dylan did several 'Talkin' Blues' songs (ie: Talkin' Bear Mountain Picnic Massacre Blues, Talkin' John Birch Paranoid Blues, Talkin' New York, Talkin' World War III Blues.' Most of these songs feature more of his comedic side). Perhaps these tunes may have been a precursor to rap. A few other Dylan songs that showcase his barz are, Bob Dylan's 115th Dream, It's Alright Ma (I'm Only Bleeding), and of course, Like a Rolling Stone.

    Now you have to do Weird Al's 'Bob'. It is a parody of this song and video. I won't spoil the incredible brainiac feat he pulled off with his version. You gotta see it yourself. Big brain stuff.

    You check out Dylan in later years. I recommend Thunder on the Mountain (2006.) Great job.

    The first legit rap, 1965. Quite a few Dylan compositions are rap. "It's all right Ma I'm only Bleeding" and "Maggie's Farm" are prime examples.

    Bobs voice was often mimicked for comedic purpose’s because he really had a distinct sound.
