My Weariness Amazes Me
Oct. 15th, 2014 09:12 pmI keep listening to "Mr. Tambourine Man," (this video on Youtube of Dylan at the Newport Folk Festival in 1964, not the Byrds' version.) It's a song I mostly hear about in joking references to Shatner's spoken-word cover, but I like it. Lately I've been thinking that it's an attempt to do a Symbolist poem in a 20th-century American idiom; then again maybe that could describe all of Dylan.
