Or "Shot a man named Grey, and took his wife to Italy...?"

Dylan is not the author of that lyric you quote, Folsom Prison Blues was penned by none other than Johnny Cash.

I have a bootleg of Cash and Dylan together, what a hoot when they try to harmonize.

Good morning.

"I offered up my innocence and got repaid with scorn."

I think that line from 'Shelter from the Storm' perfectly captures the '60s' for Vietnam vets, even though it came out a couple of decades later.

In '64 I got into an argument with a classmate over my right to call Dylan 'Bobby'. A quarter of a century later she became my ex-wife after several minutes of marriage.

I believe Dylan and Jackson Browne are the two great American poets of the 20th century. Too bad Jackson is so liberal that it affects his music. Now I can only listen to his older work. Bob Dylan's music just gets better and I can overlook his politics.
