Z is for Zimmerman
The AMMI (http://www.ammi.org) is showing the supreme Dylan documentary, “Don’t Look Back,” today. With the possible exception of “Gimme Shelter,” I’d say it’s the best rock n’ roll doc ever. Not sure if I’ll be there today (prior family commitment)...but I’m gonna try to squeeze it in.
Either way, here are some of my favorite Dylan lines (at least as of this moment):
“It was gravity which pulled us down and destiny which broke us apart
You tamed the lion in my cage but it just wasn’t enough to change my heart.
Now everything’s a little upside down, as a matter of fact the wheels have stopped, What’s good is bad, what’s bad is good, you’ll find out when you reach the top...you’re on the bottom.”
“I got a head full of ideas that are driving me insane.”
“My love she speaks softly,
She knows there’s no success like failure
And that failure’s no success at all.”
“To see him obviously framed
Couldn’t help but make me feel ashamed to live in a land
Where justice is a game.”
“Take a deep breath, feel like you’re chokin’,
Everything is broken.”
Anyone else?
