  • PLAYBOY: Mistake or not, what made you decide to go the rock-'n'-roll route?
  • DYLAN: Carelessness. I lost my one true love. I started drinking. The first thing I know, I'm in a card game. Then I'm in a crap game. I wake up in a pool hall. Then this big Mexican lady drags me off the table, takes me to Philadelphia. She leaves me alone in her house, and it burns down. I wind up in Phoenix. I get a job as a Chinaman. I start working in a dime store, and move in with a 13-year-old girl. Then this big Mexican lady from Philadelphia comes in and burns the house down. I go down to Dallas. I get a job as a "before" in a Charles Atlas "before and after" ad. I move in with a delivery boy who can cook fantastic chili and hot dogs. Then this 13-year-old girl from Phoenix comes and burns the house down. The delivery boy - he ain't so mild: He gives her the knife, and the next thing I know I'm in Omaha. It's so cold there, by this time I'm robbing my own bicycles and frying my own fish. I stumble onto some luck and get a job as a carburetor out at the hot-rod races every Thursday night. I move in with a high school teacher who also does a little plumbing on the side, who ain't much to look at, but who's built a special kind of refrigerator that can turn newspaper into lettuce. Everything's going good until that delivery boy shows up and tries to knife me. Needless to say, he burned the house down, and I hit the road. The first guy that picked me up asked me if I wanted to be a star. What could I say?
  • PLAYBOY: And that's how you became a rock-'n'-roll singer?
  • DYLAN: No, that's how I got tuberculosis.

Bob Dylan, “Visions Of Johanna,” live 2000, Portsmouth. The all-night girls whisper of escapades out on the D train.

Maybe my favourite Dylan song, and a dynamite version.

Rambling, Gambling Willie
Bob Dylan

peterfeld:

Bob Dylan, “Rambling, Gambling Willie.” Some claim his greatest song is “Blowin’ In The Wind,” others say it’s “Like A Rolling Stone.” I say it’s this.
