Still, he was a quite clever word-smith, a mediocre guitarist and singer, and certainly the worst harmonica player in recorded history. I love what he accomplished - being in the right place at the right time - but still regard him as overrated. And that's my final word on the subject.

As Dylan is supposedly listening to Donovan, he's jittery and fidgeting his arms and legs out of rhythm; a narcissistic meltdown. Finally, the level of applause following each performance tells it all. Afterward, Dylan sounds like a clumsily amateur guitarist and falsely arrogant singer.

@StudebakerHawk57 She's demonstrating the lyrics "get in the way."

@flooberbloob Hmmm - I've played guitar (acoustic & electric) & bass (upright & electric) for 4 decades in rock, R&B, blues, new wave, jazz, new age, country, bluegrass bands. Never "on the road," since it has always been a parttime passion. Never saw Free, or had any desire to. This simpleton ...

cacornett58: Well, I'm a PhD psychologist, so I need not steal long sentences from anyone. If my sentences bore you, I suspect the lyrics of this song are over your head, anyway. And I've been a blues guitarist and bluegrass bassplayer for 25 years, so I feel pretty confident of my musical know...

derbbus,

Google: blakesarmy durham free

I've always regarded Free as a mediocre garage band thrust into the limelight by entertainment media manipulation.

Google "bad gig Durham Free" and you'll read why this song sucks! It was concocted to try to get audiences to clap longer at the end of their boring shows. It doesn't resonate with the anguished idealism or fornicatory release of the 60s or 70s - it's just commercial drivel, jerking audiences o...

Umm. . . why does the arpeggio reach its highest note at 1:21, but his finger goes to that fret almost a second later at 1:22? It looks finger-synched, not live. . . Then again, his voice in the beginning isn't quite in synch, either, so perhaps the whole video is off. Which, if I want to app...

@panhead55 Actually, I sailed Turnabouts and Hobies and Catalinas for years. What's depeicted in the video has no mystery - it doesn't even count as a ship.

goldenstarpcfl: Oh, I've always thought 3 Dog Night did some fine blue-eyed soul, and this song was a fine example. I'm pretty sure some producer told them the song was too passionate, too earnest, and they had to look like teeny-bops for this particular TV show. To me, the great song and power...
