Charlie2 In defense of 'Don't Think Twice' (115* d) RE: In defense of 'Don't Think Twice' 24 Aug 00


Of course Dont Think Twice is a hateful tune. But its got some god damn teeth that that can not be denied. When I was a kid I used to hear that tune and think it was so campy and quaint. But then I actually HEARD it for the first time and I realized that this is Bob's brilliance. I mean, if you've really heard Spanish Boots of Spanish Leather its the same story. Its: OK so if you're going to flake out and leave me then send me some fucking boots at least. This is CLASSIC Dylan that is of course in Positively Fourth Street as well. To make an analogy, Robert Frost is the same again, He seems nice on the outside but then you drill down a bit and realize that all of his seemingly nice phrases are also as bitter as can be. I love Dylan because he refuses to be anything for anybody. He's one cranky old dude, God bless him.
