Legends

 1985

Ramblin' Jack Elliott and John Prine on the 'Bobby Bare and Friends' TV show back in 1985. The whole show is fantastic, and the interviews mention snippets about Bob Dylan several times. John Prine tells about how he ended up buying his first Dylan record, and there is a nice anecdote from Jack remembering a time when he and Bob Dylan were shown an 'after hours' bar in Greenwich Village and includes the tell-tale line: "And some stranger, perfect stranger, who probably didn't know who Bob was, and so Bob was very comfortable with him...". John Prine's brief memory is at 22:20, and the full anecdote from Jack starts at about 41:43 for those who lack time or attention to kick back with a favourite coffee and enjoy the whole experience. ;-)  from Bob Dylan Revisited

Yesterday Today & Tomorrow



 Bob Dylan 1987 by Rob Verhorst

Bob Dylan & Tom Petty at Palaeur, Rome, Italy on October 3, 1987
from the Temples In Flames Tour -


Tomorrow is a long time -
words and music Bob Dylan

If today was not an endless highway,
If tonight was not a crooked trail,
If tomorrow wasn't such a long time,
Then lonesome would mean nothing to you at all.
Yes, and only if my own true love was waitin',
and if I could hear her heart a-softly poundin',
Only if she was lyin' by me,
Then I'd lie in my bed once again.

I can't see my reflection in the waters,
I can't speak the sounds that show no pain,
I can't hear the echo of my footsteps,
Or can't remember the sound of my own name.
Yes, and only if my own true love was waitin',
Yes, and if I could hear her heart a-softly poundin',
Only if she was lyin' by me,
Then I'd lie in my bed once again.

There's beauty in the silver, singin' river,
There's beauty in the sunrise in the sky,
But none of these and nothing else
can touch the beauty
That I remember in my true love's eyes.
Yes, and only if my own true love was waitin',
Yes, and if I could hear her heart a-softly poundin',
Only if she was lyin' by me,
Then I'd lie in my bed once again
