Hoi hoi @Visions,
What a lovely write!
And – assuming that you took the inspiration off the photo – what a lovely prompt.I was taken back a bit when I saw the litter on the pavement. Let’s hope that that is remedied now.
If you’re a serious fan of Bob’s, you may be interested in other stuff than his music.
Paintings, train wagon, his record collection. I may be able to help you there.
If so, please send a PM or mail.
Not his own music, I must add.I think your post is a very valuable one.
If you’re American:
Thank you.
In all other cases:
Keep them coming please.
Kind regards, Gus-

I wasn’t alive yet in the 60’s, but damn, the youth had such piss & vinegar against the establishment. There was no choice but for the government to stop, look & listen. Thanks for the generous comment.

Once again you succeeded and writing and Article as powerful as meaningful on an important chapter of music history, Artists, and especially musicians were most often the ones to kick off change of social and political rules and customs. The Beatles and their generation initiated a real big innovation.
This is an outstanding article my friend!-

I believe I read this on WC. It’s just as good the second time reading it. Your photo cements the character of the poem. A snapshot in time I wish I could have experienced. Dylan was a poet with a guitar. Excellent writing.

Tastefully penned, Keith. I’m an Al Dente kinda guy as well. I love pasta and Italian food in general, but then again I really love Mexican food as well. Damn, I’m hungry now. Excellent write my friend. Appreciate you.

Simply fantastic, Dru!
The meter may be a bit wonky, but your creative imagery, spot-on rhymes, and dancing rhythm make your efforts worthy a pound of Elvish Gold*
I really got a very good laugh out of your unique “Only You” sense-of-humor … especially, with L4 ‘n 5, Limerick 2. ; )))
