Apparently the singer could not keep up with the ultra-fast pace he had set. Like the work of these surrealists, Bob Dylan's song is rich with non sequiturs like "The Commander-in-Chief answers him while chasing a fly/Saying, 'Death to all those who would whimper and cry'/And dropping a barbell he points to the sky/Saying, 'The sun's not yellow it's chicken'" (the last line, a pun worthy of Nabokov), and takes irreverent jabs at religious, political, and bureaucratic figures: "The ghost of Belle Starr she hands down her wits/To Jezebel the nun she violently knits/A bald wig for Jack the Ripper who sits/At the head of the chamber of commerce." I'm in the kitchen with the tombstone blues The king of the Philistines, his soldiers to save Puts jawbones on their tombstones and flatters their graves Puts the pied pipers in prison and fattens the slaves
"Tombstone Blues" is the second song on Bob Dylan's 1965 album Highway 61 Revisited. The song, from Dylan's first fully electric album, the often raucous Highway 61 Revisited (1965), is played with an up-tempo chugging beat, the singer's own shuffling acoustic guitar strumming the rhythm, while Mike Bloomfield rips out Yardbirds-like blues licks.

Sharon and her sister have a major falling out over both Tracey's relationship with a police officer and her overlooking Garth's feelings for his Dad. Stream ad-free or purchase CD's and MP3s now on Amazon.com.
