The Lines, They Are A-Changin'


Getting lost and found in the Bob Dylan archives – Justin Taylor

You doubt you could get any quotes from the song cleared to share here, and in the end you decide not to even ask, but you figure that if anyone is wondering, as you were, whether this manuscript anticipates or otherwise relates to “Key West (Philosopher Pirate),” off of 2020’s Rough and Rowdy Ways, it’s OK to say that it doesn’t. The same cat, who just a few months later will scorch heavens and earth with his electrifying epochal paeans to America’s unholy war in Vietnam, ‘Star-Spangled Banner’ at Woodstock, and ‘Machine Gun’ unleashed New Year’s Eve ’69 at the Fillmore East.” Chasing down my leads didn’t take as long as I’d thought it would, so I had some free time on my hands, and, god love these people, they let me do what anyone who walks in there must, at some level, be hoping to be allowed to do: start calling for boxes related not to your approved scholarship but to favorite songs, albums, and eras.
