This song really stands out in its beauty and stark.<br />The pic, man, thank Peteski once again. It wasn't pulled from his place, but from one of his groovy links. I really should give credit when I use them I guess.bulletholeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13681107556161747976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35136026.post-36696835505716792102010-01-21T10:12:29.004-08:002010-01-21T10:12:29.004-08:00I tend to give the early, protest-song-singing Dyl...I tend to give the early, protest-song-singing Dylan short shrift. Reading the lyrics makes me realize that's a mistake. Great song, great pic of the man who said, "What's it to ya, Moby Dick?
