Love and Theft
Dylan’s last album came out on 9/11/2001; I’ll never forget that. I always thought there was something prophetic in the opening lines:
Tweedly Dum and Tweedly Dee
are throwing knives into the tree.
Strange. And then:
Two big bags of dead men’s bones…
Yikes. What a day that was. Our generation’s shooting of JFK, yadda yadda. Too much to comprehend. Frustrating to know that history is making you a lot more than you are making it. At least Love And Theft is an awesome album. Best moment is the knock-knock joke in “Po’ Boy”. Dylan had never been better.
