I think your famous namesake deserves some defence on his birthday. I think a lot of his lyrics are fantastic examples of nonsense poetry.Robert66 wrote:Exhibit A: Bob Dylan. Coherent, clear? Not at all.
"The ghost of electricity howls in the bones or her face"
"The geometry of innocent flesh on the bone"
But as with a lot of music, people often take it too seriously. Same with Morrissey. He may, to some, be a hypocritical old bigot, but when an avowed celibate vegetarian writes:
"It was dark as I drove the point home, and on cold leather seats, well, it suddenly struck me. I just might die with a smile on my face after all"
you know to relax and just take it for what it is.
