Welcome to Litsy!

I know this is a weird question, but does anybody have any song recantations for the spooky season??#halloween
My recommendation is the Beetlejuice the Musical soundtrack!!

"The festival was over, the boys were all plannin' for a fall
The cabaret was quiet except for the drillin' in the wall
The curfew had been lifted and the gamblin' wheel shut down
Anyone with any sense had already left town
He was standin' in the doorway lookin' like the Jack of Hearts" ?♥️?

It took me a long time to commit to this. It‘s a beautifully designed book, and I love, love, love Dylan, but this wasn‘t what I expected. Perhaps if it were titled “Bob Dylan‘s Playlist” it would have been less underwhelming.

His pieces about the Grateful Dead‘s “Truckin‘” or Webb Pierce‘s “There Stands the Glass,” are examples of what could have made this great. Unfortunately the bulk of it are rambling synopses that offer little “philosophy.”

Did anyone check their #AudibleStats? Will be posting some more highlights for me…

Such a Dylan thing to say: “no matter how many chairs you have, you only have one ass.” 😅

Obviously it was the novelty of reading Bob Dylan‘s thoughts on pop songs that made me want to read this, which is to say it‘s probably not for everyone. I enjoyed the full cast recording, which includes Bob‘s own narration of his somewhat rambling poetic thought pieces followed by a notable actor narrating the full essay.

I did find myself skipping some of the songs I was least interested in, but Bob‘s take on Witchy Woman was worth it 🤣
