I first heard You Ain't Goin Nowhere around 72 or 73, when I bought the double album Greatest Hits Volume II. That is a great album, and the name was kinda of a joke, as few if any of the songs on it were hits. Much of it was previously unreleased stuff. That album made me Dylan fan. Very few people my age at the time were Dylan fans. His initial time as superstar had quieted way down by the early 70s. I finally met a co-worker fellow Dylan fan in the early 80s. He and I couldn't agree on the lyrics to You Ain't Goin Nowhere. I was sure one line said "put your tent in the wind", while he was sure it said something about McGuinn (rather than in the wind). Maybe there are different versions and we both are right.Stephenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02708466116663517836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7867112187125913607.post-10227535729279084082011-10-14T11:48:19.623-05:002011-10-14T11:48:19.623-05:00Scooney, I'll bet you guys had Dylan cranked u...Scooney, I'll bet you guys had Dylan cranked up loud enough to raise the dead!<br /><br />Buck, sounds like '68 was a great year for you. I liked Baez back in the day, but can't get past her politics now. I think we've talked about this before.<br /><br />George, your mind works in mysterious ways. Thanks for the reminder about the Sweethearts. I did a post on them for you and Sara today. Stay warm up their in cold country. By the way, Have you all had any "Occupy" protesters up there in Eureka?

...<i>Where were you in 1968? Oh me. In 1968 I was 28. </i><br /><br />1968 was a watershed year for me. Like Scooney, I was 25 and began the year at Vandenberg AFB, CA; followed by four months at Keesler AFB, MS; and then on to my first tour in Japan... at Wakkanai AS, as far north as you can go in Japan while keeping your feet dry. SN2 was born in '68 and I made Staff Sergeant that year. That was the year I first raced mo'sickles, too. Great times!<br /><br />As for the tune... I always liked Baez' version best. She was in her prime then and just had the <i>sweetest</i> voice!Buckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05319116022465066060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7867112187125913607.post-86265764206669712092011-10-13T08:35:44.296-05:002011-10-13T08:35:44.296-05:00In 1968 I was 25 years old and directing funerals ...In 1968 I was 25 years old and directing funerals for a large firm in Memphis. After visitation was over in the evening and the place was locked up, a bunch of us would use the really great sound system in the chapel to listen to Dylan. Great music for the times that were a changin!Scooney Adrifthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09014731857174355364noreply@blogger.com
