Married to the Sea. Again. Thank you, Lauren, for sending me this one too.
I can't think of anything for myself at the moment, but if that grizzly bear was my sister, I'd play Isis (track 2 on Desire). Something about the rhymes she just can't handle...
She said, where ya been?
I said, no place special.
She said, you look different.
I said, well, I guess.
She said, you gonna stay?
I said, if you want me to, yes.
Pretty sure this is my second favorite one line song.
Guesses on my favorite favorite? Your favorite favorites?
All the Tired Horses is track 1 on Self Portrait.

I love the way Bob Dylan packs big stories into little spaces. Verses like chapters. Songs like novels.
Like Hemingway? Hmmm.
Visions of Johanna is track 3 on Blonde on Blonde.

Something about the cast of characters in this song...
Hungry women. Saint Annie. My best friend the doctor. Sweet Melinda, the goddess of gloom. The peasants. The cops. The boasting authorities. The sergeant at arms. My brother Carl, who left looking like a ghost. No one to bluff. Tom Thumb.
And, of course, since it's a cover of his song, Bob Dylan.
The song below is Nina Simone's version of Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues. Originally, it's track 8 on Highway 61 Revisited. In my opinion, Nina took a cool little poem and turned it into a fully bad ass song.
