It’s Bob Dylan’s birthday – 69 years of staying forever young.
So let’s begin this celebration of life with a quote from my favourite Dylan album, Blood on the Tracks:
Lily washed her face, took her dress off and buried it away.
Has your luck run out? she laughed at him, well, I guess you must
Have known it would someday.
Be careful not to touch the wall, there’s a brand-new coat of paint,
I’m glad to see you’re still alive, you’re lookin’ like a saint.
Down the hallway footsteps were comin’ for the Jack of Hearts.
I’m glad your Montreal Canadiens are still alive.
And there will be a Game 6 in a city that has many streets named for saints.
