There it is again, that keen eye trained on the human condition. I'd like to think Dylan stumbled into the home of an Australian plumber and his wife while Down Under and was regaled with a story or two that he might use later for inspiration. Dylan tours constantly these days, partly because it's all he knows to do and partly because he feels an obligation to the songs. He'll be in Europe during June and July and more dates in the U.S. are being planned for fall. I can see him rolling down that highway in his tour bus, the grizzled granddaddy of pop commentary, gazing out the window and trying to make sense of it all.
People are crazy and times are strange.
I used to care, but things have changed. Happy birthday, Bobby, and don't worry about these strange times. I have a feeling you'll be singing about them when you're 70. Just remember, don't think twice. It's all right.
