An Early Clue to the New Direction Goes to Paris
From 1975, here's Bob Dylan and his lachrymose ode to Jakob's mom, "Sara."
As always, a coveted PowerPop No-Prize will be awarded to the first reader who divines its relevance to tomorrow's Weekend Listomania.
Songs about former models, e.g., "Uptown Girl"? Nah. Songs about women with rock progeny, e.g., "Oh Yoko"? I give up.
ReplyDeleteSongs with women's names in them, a la, "You Can't Have Your Kate and Edith Too" by the Statler Bros?
ReplyDeleteSongs about significant others? Or is that too transparent?
ReplyDeleteAnyhoo, hope your having a great time in Paris, and drinking lots of excellent wine!
No, no and no.
ReplyDeleteBTW -- have I mentioned I'm in Paris?
:-)
Songs about ex-wives
ReplyDeleteSongs that aren't about Paris?
ReplyDeleteSongs about breakups?
ReplyDeletelachrymose odes?
ReplyDeleteNo, no, no, no, and no.
ReplyDelete:-)
OK, here's to lachrymose!
ReplyDeleteOutstanding vocabulary!
