Neighborhood Bully (1983) – Bob Dylan
I was remarking of Dylan’s nasty curve ball with the track – Lenny Bruce on the Christian record – Shot of Love; it’s just like what he did with today’s track Neighborhood Bully on the 1983 Infidels secular record. As I wrote…
Must Be Santa (2009) – Bob Dylan
In case you were wondering at the time of my drafting this article how many days there were until Christmas: That’s nothing. It’s like a nanosecond of a dream within a dream. What I look forward to most of all…
Mr. Tambourine Man (1965) – Bob Dylan
Watch the video below Mr Tambourine Man when you consider Allen Ginsberg’s comments: Dylan had become a column of air, so to speak, at certain moments, where his total physical and mental focus was this single breath coming out of his…

Love Minus Zero/No Limit (1965) – Bob Dylan
Just like the last song I posted on Dylan – Long and Wasted Years, today’s featured track Love Minus Zero/No Limit has no musical chorus or bridge. Dylan recites 8 four-line verses about what the singer thinks is his perfect…
Love Is Just A Four-Letter Word (1968) – Joan Baez
I first heard Joan Baez perform Bob Dylan’s song Love Is Just A Four-Letter Word in the 1967 documentary of Bob Dylan’s 1965 tour of England – Don’t Look Back. From 3:00 minutes in the second video you can hear…
