talking new bob dylan

Singer:loudon wainwright iii

hey

bob dylan

i wrote you a song

today is your birthday if i'm not wrong

if i'm not mistaken you're fifty today

how are you doin'

bob? what do you say?

well

it musta been about '62

i heard you on record

and you were brand-new

an' some had some doubts about the way you sang

but the truth came through and loudly rang

yeah

you were hipper than mitch miller

and johnny mathis

put together

so i got some boots

a harmonica rack

a d-21

an' i was on the right track

but i didn't start writing until '68

it was too damn daunting

you were too great

i won a whole lot of bob dylan imitation contests

though

huh

yeah

times were a-changin'

you brought it all home

blonde on blonde"
