Bob Dylan

 

 

I've just seen the movie "I'm not there"..

Six characters embody a different aspect of his life and work.

Suggest you see it too.. 

 

 

OK, let's start ... somewhere...

 

What happened to Bob Dylan? 

 

 

 

Stuck Inside of Mobile 

With the Memphis Blues Again 

 

Now the rain man gave me two cures

Then he said, "Jump right in "

The one was Texas medicine

The other was just railroad gin

And like a fool I mixed them

And it strangled up my mind

And now people just get uglier 

And I have no sense of time

Or..

Let's ask him..

 

  So, the rain man is the chief commander..

I made a D.. bargain with D... hm...

 

 

From the movie :

 

Quote:

..He knew that no one could change things.. Look at Kennedy..

Quote:

..this men who shot President Kennedy, this Lee Oswald..

I think I saw something that.. that he felt.. In Me....

   

Quote:

They try to use me for something..

 ...

It's a fierce, heavy feeling, thinking that something's expected of you,

but you don't know exactly what it is..

 

 

So, in in the beginning, he was protesting through his songs...

Than something happened .. 

He just gave up, he saw that nothing can change the world we live in...

What do you think..?

 

 

Bob Dylan The Times They Are A-Changin' (1964.)

  One of his finger - pointing songs...

 

Or, maybe this one...

The lonesome death of Hattie Carroll 

Who was Hattie Carroll? 

see here.. 

 

At some point he stopped protesting..

At least that is what his fans think...

 

He said that you can only write about what was inside you.. Because you can't change a thing..

Quote from the movie : I was a pawn in their game

So let's see..

"Bob Dylan - Only A Pawn In Their Game"

A bullet from the back of a bush took Medgar Evers' blood
A finger fired the trigger to his name
A handle hid out in the dark
A hand set the spark
Two eyes took the aim
Behind a man's brain
But he can't be blamed
He's only a pawn in their game.
...........

Ok, Medgar Evers was an African American civil rights activist from Mississippi involved in efforts to overturn segregation at the University of Mississippi.

-Evers was struck in the back with a bullet fired from an Enfield 1917 rifle in 1963.

-He died at a local hospital 50 minutes later.

-On June 21, 1963, Byron De La Beckwith, a fertilizer salesman and member of the White Citizens' Council (and later of the Ku Klux Klan), was arrested for Evers' murder.

- In 1994, 30 years after the two previous trials had failed to reach a verdict, De La Beckwith was brought to trial based on new evidence. Bobby DeLaughter took on the job as the prosecutor. During the trial, the body of Evers was exhumed from his grave for autopsy. De La Beckwith was convicted of murder on February 5, 1994, after having lived as a free man for much of the three decades following the killing (though he was imprisoned on an unrelated charge from 1977 to 1980). De La Beckwith appealed unsuccessfully, and died at age 80 in prison in January 2001.

...........

A South politician preaches to the poor white man
"You got more than blacks, don't complain
You're better than them, you been born with white skin" they explain
And the Negro's name
Is used it is plain
For the politician's gain
As he rises to fame
And the poor white remains
On the caboose of the train
But it ain't him to blame
He's only a pawn in their game.

Ok, so we all heard that illuminati don't like black people too much

Why is that..?

maybe you should see this..

No, really, who can say if Jesus was black or white?

To me, personally, it doesn't matter what was the color of his skin.

But, if we take that all the illuminati "myths" are true

we have this :

So they worship, 

not God

but something else.

Let's connect

to see if that could be true..

BUT FIRST

I have to introduce you to my point of view 

when it comes to christianity

Do you know that more than 20,000 Children Die each day from Preventable Diseases?

 Do you know that 25,000 People Died Today from Hunger and Hunger Related Causes???

And there you have him

 Do you see him?

How shiny he is..

He is there in the name of

GOD

?

Do you know how much does he worth..?

 Do you know that he is the richest individual on this planet?

so do you really need to see this in person

 

 so you would see that there is something really wrong???

They shouldn't represent Jesus Christ

They have no humanity

No respect from their side,

no respect from mine.

Simple as that.

Shall we continue..

They worship..something else

Along with the church who claims to be there in the name of GOD

Jesus possibly black..?

Black people suffered so much..

This would give the reason why...

...........

The deputy sheriffs, the soldiers, the governors get paid

And the marshals and cops get the same

But the poor white man's used in the hands of them all like a tool

He's taught in his school

From the start by the rule

That the laws are with him

To protect his white skin

To keep up his hate

So he never thinks straight

'Bout the shape that he's in

But it ain't him to blame

He's only a pawn in their game.

From the poverty shacks, he looks from the cracks to the tracks

And the hoof beats pound in his brain

And he's taught how to walk in a pack

Shoot in the back

With his fist in a clinch

To hang and to lynch

To hide 'neath the hood

To kill with no pain

Like a dog on a chain

He ain't got no name

But it ain't him to blame

He's only a pawn in their game.

Today, Medgar Evers was buried from the bullet he caught

They lowered him down as a king

But when the shadowy sun sets on the one

That fired the gun

He'll see by his grave

On the stone that remains

Carved next to his name

His epitaph plain:

Only a pawn in their game. 

There you have Lee Oswald, here you have this man Byron De La Beckwith, another assassin.

Only a pawn in their game.

ok, here you have :

 But, surely you know by know that this things are real...

So, let's see what Bob Dylan has to say

Blind Willie McTell

...........

 Well, God is in Heaven   

And we all want what's His 

But power and greed and corruptible seed 

Seem to be all that there is

...........

Maggie's Farm

Here is a good comment on this one... Maggie's farm

Ok, so fans at some time stopped listening to him..
They thought he's changed
Did he..? I still think he continued protesting


is this for the fans?

Positively 4th Street

 


You've got a lot of nerve
To say you are my friend
When i was down you just stood there grinning

You've got a lot of nerve
To say you've got a helping hand to lend
You just want to be on the side that's winning




You say I let you down
You know it’s not like that
If you’re so hurt
Why then don’t you show it

 .....

 Why don’t you just come out once
And scream it

In one scene in movie, Irwin Allen Ginsberg appears. He was a poet who vigorously opposed militarism, economic materialism and sexual repression.
Some of his quotes :
-Whoever controls the media, the images, controls the culture.

-America, I've given you all and now I'm nothing.

-Poetry is the one place where people can speak their original human mind. It is the outlet for people to say in public what is known in private.

- The only thing that can save the world is the reclaiming of the awareness of the world.
- That's it. And you did, really, in the 1990s. You saw a lot of great minds just get ... fucked.

Quote :

Who cares what I think

I'm not the president.

I'm not some shepherd.

I'm just a storyteller, man.

Ok,

Ballad of a thin man - clip from the movie

(this one is for the press, the media)

...........  

Now you see this one-eyed midget
Shouting the word "NOW"
And you say, "For what reason?"
And he says, "How?"
And you say, "What does this mean?"
And he screams back, "You're a cow
Give me some milk
Or else go home" 

Because something is happening here
But you don't know what it is
Do you, Mister Jones

...........

One-eyed midget is a mythical creature.

They have a mean disposition and have been known to steal, meddle, and occasionally kill human beings.
