Bob Dylan - Subterranean Homesick Blues

Back


This is a segment from D. A. Pennebaker's film, Dont Look Back (a documentary on Bob Dylan's tour of England in 1965). In the film, Dylan holds up cue cards for the audience with words from the song on them. While staring at the camera, he flips the cards as the song plays. Interestingly, there are intentional errors throughout the video. For instance, the song's lyrics say "eleven dollar bills," but the poster says "20 dollars". The video takes place in an alley behind The Savoy Hotel in London where poet Allen Ginsberg makes a cameo appearance.

I'm a huge Dylan fan and I've seen him twice in concert so far. I know people who have either met him, his parents or his son. I actually know where his house in MN is and I don't live that far away from it.
This is a great and hugely parodied video and if I remember right the guy in the background is Alan Ginsburg. I'm really happy someone had this up on YouTube. Here's hoping I'll actually meet Dylan before he dies.

obviously4believers - youtube people beware. This obviously4believers only joined youtube in September. I imagine this isn't the only case. If you come across this blatant political posturing I suggest you give it what it deserves. Tell them to go away and make up your own mind.

obviously4believers - how does that help people who might lose their home and savings ? What people need to hear are legitimate plans to safeguard their futures. Not partisan idiocy.

A 60s activist group called The Weathermen named themselves after the line from this song "You don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows".

Interestingly enough, Barrack Obama is known to have ties with one of the most prominent ex-members of that group.
