Bob Dylan: Tombstone Blues

[purchase]

Bob Dylan's name came up a few times in Saturday's comments, giving us an excuse to post one from the master. This song, which comes from maybe the greatest ever rock album, has many brilliant and amusing lyrics. A favorite part is Bob's look at sexual frustration:

The geometry of innocent flesh on the bone
causes Galileo's math book to get thrown
at Delilah who's sittting worthlessly alone
but the tears on her cheeks are from laughter

It's funny that Galileo would have a math book, let alone throw it (and then get laughed at).
