| thirty poets! what about American housewives, mailmen, street cleaners, miners? Jesus Christ, what's so spacial about thirty people that are called poets? I've known some very good people that have committed suicide, one didn't do nothing but work in a gas station all his life. nobody referred to him as a poet, but if you're gonna call people like Robert Frost a poet, then I got to say this gas station boy was a poet too.

Band Name Origins:
- According to Bob, in his book Chronicles, he actually did select the name Dylan from the poet Dylan Thomas. Hence, Robert Zimmerman became Bob Dylan. He didn't want to keep his real name because another Bobby Zimmerman, at the time, was a motorcycle racer that had crashed and died. Submitted by: Eldon
- It was neither Dylan Thomas or some fictional uncle. He chose his name because of his childhood affection for Marshall Matt Dillon in the TV show Gunsmoke. Submitted by: Prada-Meinhof

Story about this misheard lyric by: Lydia Helton I was listening to a Bob Dylan CD that my sister was playing, when this song come on, a song I didn't remember having heard before. The words, "They say that you're benzene" resounded big time in my ears. It had me thinking "What the heck?". Listening to the rest of the song clued me in to what the real words might be. But checking a lyrics site was what it took to make me sure. |

The Funny Lyrics: I looked at my watch, I looked at my wrist
I punched myself in the face with my fist I took my potatoes down to be mashed, and I made it on over to that million dollar bash Why They're Funny: Quite possibly the funniest stanza ever written; add Dylan's nasal vocals and it's surprising the Band could even play this without cracking up.

Submitted by: Jack
"Joey" Length: 11:05
From Dylan's "Desire" album, this is the only of Dylan's 11-minute-plus songs that is in the middle of the album rather than the end. It's also one of the few Dylan songs that I absolutely can't stand. I love Dylan, but something about "Joey" just irks me.
Submitted by: DeeDee
"Desolation Row" Length: 11:18
I'm surprised this one hasn't been submitted yet, this song is noted for it's length. The original take of this song (the version on Highway 61 RV is a later take) is a tone lower and played slow enough that although it didn't have any harmonica verses (the Highway 61 version has one separating the final verse from the rest of the song, and another after it), it is 40 seconds longer, and had that version been used, would have been Dylan's longest release until Highlands, on his 1997 album Time out of Mind.
Submitted by: Feurzeug
"Sad-Eyed Lady of the Lowlands" Length: 11:19
I'm suprised this one hasn't already been submitted. On the LP versions of Blonde on Blonde, this takes up all of side four. Furthermore, it is the most depressing song I've ever heard (at least that I can recall). 'She's your lover now' would have been a better closing track for that album.

"Romance in Durango"

Why: In English: "Don't cry, my love,/ God is watching us,/ Soon the horse will take us to Durango,/ Hold onto me, my life..." The narrator of the song is an outlaw on the run with a woman who is presumably the mistress or wife of the man the narrator shot. The couple seek shelter in Durango, but the song, and the narrator's life, end before they get there.
