  • changeling46, I agree. To me:

    It was like the world was starting to move around the sun.

    And the next morning, it was standing still again.

    Some say it’s still moving. But, I haven’t felt it, since the 60’s.

    Just an old man saying it, while I’m here!

    peace

  • My favorite folk singer from the 60's. I lived it and when he died it was such a blow. He had so much to say and he said it so well. RIP Phil.

  • @waxedlips I learned about him from a PBS Documentary in the long running and amazing series American Masters-the same way Guthrie became more than a couple verses in my schoolboy songbook. Kudos to PBS for being the only thing worth a damn on tv, culturally, but that's another argument. I'm learning a Phil song every week from now on. Gotta pick up this guys flag and get this shit out to the kids..wish I knew about him in college woulda been a great retort to 'greatness of dylan.'

  • @Twistednerver And Dylan was a shoddy Guthrie imitator...sure he could muster all the sneer of guthrie but none of the humor. Sure rainy day women is kind of funny and positively fourth street....but where's Dylans' Car song? Where's Dylan's Why oh Why?

  • @terrible714 All his best songs are pretty straight forward 'like a rolling stone' 'maggies farm' 'lay lady lay.' Dylan got by on a painfully obvious woody guthrie impersonation and I think, personally, 90% of the dylan canon doesn't compare to the simple beauty of 'Vincent' by Don Mclean.

  • @terrible714 Dylan wrote word exercises that people assumed where hypnotic complex lyrics.

  • I wouldn't call him Dylan with a voice. Dylan wrote hypnotic complex lyrics (in the beginning) by the time Nashville Skyline came out he lost it.IMHO

  • he had to sing, he was dyan with a voice

  • Lovely, I can't stop listening to it. Perhaps 'RIP' is somewhat misdirected but I guess it is more for those of us who are still here. I love all the sixties sentiment but I can't stop wondering why there are so few voices now when there is so much to be yelling about. Nothing seems to be drowning out those guns...

  • Phil did more for this country then they let on ~as always its a lonely place to be. He should have gotten a medal for peace...."this world was never meant for anyone as beautiful as you".

  • Amazing
